   I picked up a bottle of Armani Code Absolu which was released in 2016, but has been discontinued. #MensGrooming

     @EscapeVelo @Monsignor_DickFace haven't smelled it lately, it's probably changed from what I remember
     
     Jean Nate is a golden oldie from the 60s/70s, maybe the first perfume-marketed deodorant I remember. Those old commercials were hilarious, aimed square at wammans longing to be free of their dowdy housewife selves. I still use the dusting powder, it has a nice crisp dry scent.

     @EscapeVelo @Monsignor_DickFace Now that I think about it, the marketing was truly pernicious, reaching inside every amerikwan home to instill the idea in wamman that being a housewife and mother was limiting their potential. A world of adventure awaited them just outside the door, where there were no screaming kids or drudgery and they would be thin, sexy, and desired by all. "there's nothing you can't do!"

     @Monsignor_DickFace @EscapeVelo At some point in the 90s white dudes largely stopped wearing perfume--excuse me, COLOGNE--and started using very strongly scented deodorant instead. Axe was the pioneer of this. I have super intense unfading memories of anything to do with smell so I remember this whole progression. I guess it was to give plausible deniability to vanity, not sure. The scents were not terrible, some were quite nice, but they of course used the cheapest synthetic aromachemicals and had to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I managed to steer my husband off of them to unscented deodorant and I outfitted him with a perfume wardrobe. He got interested in it and began to do his own testing and exploring like Escape Velo is doing, and now he buys his own.

     @EscapeVelo Ralph Lauren made a perfume called Tuxedo in the 80s that's been discontinued for years. It was a dry, sophisticated chypre, a genre of perfume that basically doesn't exist anymore due to IFRA regulations on oakmoss. I was a skinny teenager with braces and way too young for such a va-va-va-voom fragrance, but I loved it so much.
     
     I am eager to try the Dusk.
     
     Today I wore Bill Blass Nude which was authored by Sophia Grossman in 1991. It's another chypre but not so heavy on the oakmoss, and miraculously you can still get it for a song. It's pretty feminine with a pear note and aldehydes, but men's cologne has been very syrupy sweet for several years now and ppl might not even notice.

     The Dusk by The Woods Collection came in the mail today. It's very, very nice. The whole package, bottle, magnetic cap, bonus travel atomizer..and the juice is very very nice. I like this much better than the Tuxedo by Yves Saint Laurent clone that I got the other day, which has a nice bottle too.
