I went to restock on my pitstick and I struggled to find it due to the redesign

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it as it now looks so damn similar to one of friend’s suits

    Women’s products have scents like ‘lavender’ and ‘peach.’

    Men’s have names like ‘wolf thorn’ and ‘black ice.’

      I also enjoy how it’s apparently “sweet citrus scent”. I was expecting “wolf thorn” to smell like a lot of things, but neither sweet nor citrus was one of them…

        I did a search and saw one plant called ‘wolf thorn’

        Wolf thorn [one word or two] sounds like a character in a ‘GOT’ ripoff.

        Also, according to my spellcheck function, ‘wolfthorn’ is not a word.

          Ah, good point that it might be a plant after all. Apparently, it’s native to South Africa: https://kumbulanursery.co.za/plants/lycium-oxycarpum

          No idea, if they’d actually brand a fragrance with such a relatively unknown plant, and that webpage unfortunately doesn’t say whether the plant is citrusy or sweet, but another name for it is “honey-thorn”, so…

          it's something.

            My guess is that the marketing department comes up with the names [after extensive research] and then they randomly assign those names to whatever product comes along.

            Research seems mixed as to which gender is more aware of scents.

            I’m pretty sure it’s all about the names. They are betting that women like ‘pretty’ names associated with things they know, and the guys want something that sounds badass, whatever it actually smells like.

      I once had a deodorant whose scent was “trench warfare”. Gave me a little chuckle every time. I think my current scent is “Livid Monarchism” or something. Lavender is nice too though.

      “Wolfthorn” is orange, lychee, coconut, and pineapple. At least according to my search just now.

      I accidentally bought a bodywash that’s apparently 50% menthol. It smells like cough syrup
