What gets me is that, according to the gender stereotype, women enjoy the flowery type scents, so you would think that if ladies find that pleasing that men would want to smell that way.
Personally, I like to smell clean and I don't buy soap based on the color of the bottle or whether it says "for men" in it. My shampoo/conditioner has a nice citrus aroma, but more importantly it does a great job on my hair.
That's not the stereotype, the gender stereotype is that women are supposed to smell that way.
Needless to say, it's a stupid stereotype, as stereotypes generally are
I have some kind of allergy to the seemingly most common perfume scent. I remember getting massive headaches riding in the car with my mom as a kid, my gf/wife wore it for a while too until I told her I thought it gives me headaches. One of my coworkers would spray it right at her desk in a large quantity until I (as nicely as I could) asked her to do it away from the desk as the smell was very intense, which she did oblige.
Don't know what the point of this was lol
You probably think that freshly mown grass after a spring rain smells good. You would probably be weirded out if your chocolate cake smelled like that. Just because women like flowery scents doesn't mean it is a good idea for a man looking for women to wear one.
Why would you mow the grass right after it rains?
Edit: You are comparing an unrelated "pleasant" smell (I'm neutral on cut grass, but I get your point) with something that people already know how it's supposed to smell.
With fragrances, neither males or females naturally smell like flowers. A lot of women seem to enjoy smelling/smelling like flowers.
As a man I also enjoy smelling flowers (but I'm not big on artificial fragrances in general) so I don't feel like a grass smelling cake is a good comparison.
