 SMELL-GOOD CLEANSING FOR MENBy: Abby Hoeffner
You work out. You shower. It’s a pretty standard routine. But is your body wash or soap of choice hindering your game? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to make sure you radiate those good-smelling vibes. To help you out, we put hyper-sensitive noses to numerous body washes and soaps, finding these five can’t miss options. Nivea for Men Active 3 Body Wash This multi-purpose product will please both your watch and olfactory receptors as you can use it for body, hair and shaving. It’s hard to put an exact name on the scent, but all our female testers agreed that they’d be happy to buy it for their men. $4 for 16.9 oz., at drug stores and supermarkets Old Spice Figi Body Wash Clever commercials and updated packaging aside, the new fragrance lines from Old Spice smell just plain good! Our favorite of the bunch, Figi, is clean and manly without the lingering peppery smell so common in drug store body washes. $3.50 for 16 oz., at drug stores and supermarkets Bath and Body Works Citron Like the name suggests, this rich-lathering wash has a citrusy aroma, but not the sweet, girly kind. Hints of sandalwood, tonka bean and bergamot make it 100 percent masculine. $10.50 for 10 oz., at Bath and Body Works Polo Black Hair and Body Wash Yes, this one is a tad pricier, but we think the complexity of the scent offsets the cost. It starts out with a brisk mix of mango (Man Go… get it?) and Spanish sage with a touch of patchouli and timberol for underlying spice. $22.50 for 6.7 oz., at Ulta.com Lush Dirty Soap Don’t be fooled by the name. This eco-friendly bath bar packs a wake-you-up punch of fresh herbs and spearmint guaranteed to make you breathe in deeply. $7.95 for 3.5 oz., LushUSA.com |
