Degree men’s and women’s deodorant only differ in their scents! I know, I got a man’s deodorant in the mail and loved it so much I used up the sample and when I ran out bought it in a women’s scent. Not that there was anything wrong with the “manly” scent, I just wanted something different. Does anyone know if there is a price premium for the scent differences? For example, the scent I bought which was part of their “Designer Fragrance” line seemed to cost more than their other scents, but I am not sure if it cost more than the “manly” scents.

lol @satan himself….
women think that everything thing we men do is against women. Get a grip. they market certain smells that are more appealing to certain genders. I know I wouldn’t want to walk around with Just Dance or Pink Crush on me….and I can also speak for my wife who would say she would not like to walk around with Power on when she can get Sexy Intrigue.

Seriously…people find anything to complain about. I assure you, that you do not speak for the majority of women, but I speak for the majority of men….like satan himself said “get over yourselves”.

Target audience? Are you serious? Because when I was out with my friend and we saw this, we laughed are asses off, and she’s not even a feminist. I would have taken a photo to save the lols, but I didn’t have my phone with me. It’s cool to see that SI caught it.

I think the reason there is no line for boys is that boys are expected to want to be men, so as to make things easier on the marketing department.

@stompie smax: I think there’s still hope for you and your gender. Maybe it’s not just yellow, but the combination of black and yellow. This combination is very often used for tools. So this deodorant is actually a men protection tool. OMG! :)

Not directly related (except through the links at the end of the article), but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Combos is having a “win the ultimate MAN ZONE” contest. I guess you win tools, or a BBQ grill, or some other thing that women are categorically excluded from.

All it did for me was make me not want to buy them anymore.
