Bay Rum is a pretty universal go-to when looking for default masculine smells, a mix of actual rum and the bay tree in the west indies. Nowadays it's artificially produced so YMMV.

Modern flavor science mixes leather, woods, salt, industrial tones, oil, plants and liquor for masculine products to mixed effect. (again YMMV) My wife actually prefers some for men products since she finds sweet fruit and flower scents overbearing.

Sadly Mrs. Meyers only makes Iowa Pine in cleaning products and then in limited runs during winter holiday season. Their flavorists really nailed it. Duke Cannon's Illegally Cut Pine is a passable alternative.

When its all just ambergris, orange oil, and citric acid

I'd rather smell citrussy or flowery over whatever the fuck the bottom picture is meant to smell like. Plus I like flowers anyway as I've a pair of converse with roses on them. So much better than wearing a pair of Adidas that's white with maybe a stripe of colour.

I always pick the cheapest one, but if the male and female products have the same price I'll pick roses over whatever the fuck "sports" and "fresh" is supposed to smell like.

Wait women have passionfruit flavoured deodorant? Damn I’m jealous.

What about enbys?
