Something that evokes having just showered

Posted by Robin on 13 June 2011 8 Comments

Schick, an Energizer Holdings brand, asked a fragrance company to develop something that evokes having just showered, and the final result is described by the brand as blending notes of spearmint, citrus and rosemary.

— Schick introduces scented disposable razors for men (scented women's razors were already on the market). Read more at Schick Uses Scent to Give Men’s Razor a Competitive Edge at the New York Times.

    Of course, alot of men smell like they just showered when they shave, because they did just shower.

    Sure…but this is a way for a guy to smell like he’s just showered even when he hasn’t. Kind of like that “new car smell” air freshner for a car. This allows a guy to watch 15 mins. more of a big game and not get hassled for not showering by his significant other.

    She’ll say, “Did you take a shower?” He’ll say, “Of course I did! Smell me!”

      But the smell isn’t meant to transfer to your body, is it? I thought just the razor smelled.

      Exactly how many gentlemen are watching the big game in the morning before they go to work?

    If a big game was on and I wanted to watch 15 mins. more of it I would HOPE the just-showered scent would transfer to me. Schick will have to make sure it does if they want guys to buy this product….otherwise, what’s the point?

    I would prefer my personal items to remain unscented. I don’t want a scented razor any more than I want a scented toothbrush, scented nail clippers, or a scented watch. But then again I doubt I’m the target market for this, because I would never use a disposable razor in the first place. (the waste! the low grade materials!)
