It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly
I love that drakkar is in there. Didn’t know that was still a thing, but I would do that one just for Nostalgia.
Seriously. Game of Thrones is over. No one wants to smell like horse folk anymore.
Me too, then we’d head over to the nearest target/walmart to pick up chicks.
Isn’t that how you’re supposed to do it? Put it on your hands and dab yourself on the neck or whatever? Not SPRAY yourself down, what kind of savage are you.
I’ve always heard applying cologne with your hands is a faux pas since it’s then wasted on your hands or whatever else you use to spread it from there.
My dad was into the older colognes that weren’t in a spray bottle and with those you can do the usual wrist to neck padding.
I don’t really wear cologne these days and I don’t like putting things on my skin directly so if I do wear some I’ll just spritz my undershirt or something
I heard something for a lighter sent to spray the air in front of you and walk in to the mist. I don’t like overwhelming smell of concentrated perfume, so it’s a nice in between
what kind of savage are you
You’re buying Obsession by Calvin Klein out of a gas station bathroom dispenser. Cavemen would be horrified.
Like, ikr
The stuff at Truck Stops to make life on the road doable is really kind of interesting. The most interesting to me is “Idle Air,” this set of gantries in the lot with tubes hanging down that mate with one of the side windows to provide AC, electric, TV, and internet without having the truck idle all night. It’s an impressively large amount of infrastructure.
Some of our deep water ports have something similar so the large ships don’t have to idle in port to keep their engines warm/services online. Massive shore power hookups and the like. It prevents a ton of air pollution being dumped into the city.
Damn that is pretty cool. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen or heard about that before
I guess they’re not as popular now, as trucks have become smarter and more electrified so they don’t have to idle as much while still being able to power increasingly efficient devices, plus I guess people just abused the everliving fuck out of them, but it’s such an interesting solution to a problem “normal” people wouldn’t think about, and one with very visible infrastructure.
They would have made a fortune on placing these in high school locker rooms.
What’s funny is that you (and I) associate cologne with high school, but adult men were spraying that shit on themselves from like the 50s to the 90s. Then Axe Body Spray took over the youth market, and a lot of boys coming of age started reevaluating their life choices. Smoking in public also became rare, and generally people started smelling better without the need for fragrances.
I can’t remember the last time I used cologne or smelled it on another person. But my laundry, shampoo, body wash, and beard balm all have their own fragrances.

This has got to be a big part of it in two different ways: smokers wanting to cover their own stink, but also smokers having reduced sense of smell!

Nowadays I feel like people have nuked their sense of smell with fragrance generally. I trip to anyone else’s house and I get headaches from the amount of automatic fragrance despensers, reed diffusers, essential oil atomisers, scented this that and the other on top of bombing themselves with strongly scented body products and sprays.
In my experience, it’s fortunately not too common. I disliked potpourri (headaches…) but the essential oil diffusers are so much worse.
I feel like people have scented things for as long as I can remember, but maybe how we’re doing it has changed.
I personally like it when my home smells like “nothing,” even when I come back to it after being gone a while. Smelling changes in humidity, level of dust, or anything else is pretty great.
Where are you if you don’t mind me asking? I feel like I’m not running into this on the US west coast
Don’t forget covid, and long covid effects.
After having covid three times (and losing my sense of smell from it twice), I’m not sure if my sense of smell ever got back to normal.
Too bad it’s missing Cool Water
