Good Fragrances & Deodorants?

[Centryst]

For me, their packaging is a bit old fashioned, like I was in a brothel in the Wild, wild west...… I'm a modern gurl !

Le Labo makes some incredible, masculine scents.

As for deodorants, I've used this for years. Malin & Goetz are great product:

Bravo. Another big Malin + Goetz fan here!

I’m not a cologne guy; however, in my preppy youth, I always used Royall Bay Rhum after-shave and used to endure gentle ribbing from friends about it. Before joining the Malin + Goetz deodorant team, I was a life long Tom’s of Maine deodorant guy. Many providers loved it and I’d often give them some as gifts.

Sigh. I gotta go with Old Spice. I love their commercials...

I haven't used cologne or toilet water in decades. I use unscented deodorant. I used to like 4711. I also liked Dunhill and Eau Savage.

Strong scents trigger my asthma. I have to walk briskly past the soaps (and generally avoid the aisle entirely) in the grocery store.

 

Want to smell great? Smell like a freshly washed man.

I love a man who has a Cinnabon behind each ear.

I do not have asthma but those heavily scented soap shops kill me too. I run past them as quick as possible.

I wear unscented deodorant: I just can’t stand their “fresh” fragrances, they make me feel like a walking flower potpourri.

Needed to pick up a birthday present yesterday...

saw the earlier recommendations of "Santa Maria Novella", and realized I had walked past their shop in London weekly for years without noticing... visited the one in Piccadilly Arcade (near Fortnums)... and it was like stepping back into the 1700's... for those of you in London - it's worth a visit simply for the shop...

There is one in NYC too-love their old fashioned apothecary feel

Three words: Santa Maria Novella

I go for the old stuff..made outside of Florence for centuries. Works for me.

Just bought some potpourri from them. Hoping for a light scent, but I'll find out soon enough; I don't want my place to smell like an 85 year old dowager lives there.

I found that my Whole Foods sells a very light cucumber scented bar soap that is quite pleasant; even to my enhanced sense of smell (no, really!)

My favorite soap is Aveda Refreshing Cleansing Bar. They don't sell it in their stores anymore. You can only get it as an amenity in nice hotels

 

My second favorite soap is Yardley Oatmeal Almond Soap.

I've never had any problems with authenticity with Amazon. they have good customer service and never question returns. My only issue with amazon is that now, most of the products they offer are being shipped from China, hence a delayed WAIT time....And in doing price comparisons, I don't find their prices on many things, especially food and grooming products to be the best. I recently purchased JACKFRUIT puffs, which I HIGHLY recommend, and found a much lower price elsewhere. Even my Kens Vidalia Onion salad dressing is more expensive here than on Target or Walmart.... and my favorite cookies too, Dark chocolate Tim Tams.

Does the soap have a gritty feel to it. It feels like a plurality of organic soaps have that feel to aid in dead skin removal.

Does it have Bunsen burners and a lot of laboratory files in the window? I have noticed a place like that near Astor Place in the city that looks like it sells different soaps and other beauty products.

Don't mean to get off topic but don't sell cheap jackfruit in Chinatown? Back when I could drive I would get all my roots and veggies from them because it was cheap. What about fresh direct?

Probably, but these are snacks, like Cheetos, but made from jackfruit and are simply Delish and healthy.

what! What! WHATTTT! Jackfruit chips. I didn't know that is what you meant by puffs. You just made my day something new I have to try.

Not chips...… Puffs, light and crispy, just like Cheetos..... I grab a handful every day. They come in smalls individual size bags or larger bags, like how potato chips come.

It's quite smooth actually. The product is called Everyday 365 Triple Milled Cucumber Glycerine Soap.
