There's no laws preventing you from using what you perceive as women's hair care products.

Yes, but I think the (true) point was that male-marketed products are always either:

  • Arctic freshness 0°K we'll make you feel like you're naked on an iceberg in the middle of the North Pole

Or:

  • Now you smell like your grandfather! Some wood, musk, and cedar cones

Why is it so and what does it tell of our society and weird expectations? A great deal of men do NOT appreciate this approach, and sure turn to the products marketed for women.

We should either break that insanely entrenched stereotype about "masculine" scents, or better just ditch product gendering altogether.

Yay for men smelling like vanilla and strawberry yoghurt!

Old Spice has some "island" scents that smell like fruits and flowers for men. I am currently working my way through a bottle of "Fiji" smells like papaya and vanilla.

I am at a loss to think of a more man oriented brand of hygiene products than Old Spice. Maybe Axe, but do we really consider teenage boys men?

My teens (one girl one trans boy) are crazy about that Old Spice Fiji scent, and the laundry scent Suavitel Fresca Aroma Del Sol. I think the Fiji does smell a lot like the clean clothes.
