This is quite verbose but interesting as hell: the gist is that the "real" molecules that used to give perfumes their soul are now outlawed and new molecules research and approval is too spendy for small perfumers who want to do niche. Mass industry relies on cheap and safe and successful molecules that ate, in years, increasily "all the same".

And yes: people spritz and splash waaaaaaay too much.

P.S. OMG. I swear this is the last informative and serious post for today ... yesterday I missed your posts and I really wanted to respond to all of you

I found it fascinating!

New word! It’s a great word that I didn’t know existed and describes this perfectly.

From your latter post with the pintrest link, I thought these two images were interesting.

So the model is obviously gorgeous and masculine. But clothed. And that to me (as a man, so I could be way wrong here) makes it even more structured purely for straight men and women. They want straight men to think “he’s a stud, I want to be like him” and women to think “he’s a guy who will get shit done and be sexy at the sane time”.

I posted both because I thought it was interesting how they took one pic but digitally altered almost everything else including the tats.

My read was that the top image was targeted at gay men (the light colors, the standout pattern, structure of the pants, accessory choice, background) whereas they digitally altered the all of those things in the bottom image to better target straight men and women.

Also did you notice that the top image has a big glory hole by his crotch and a thick rope hanging through it?

Just thought I’d point that out.

Also, new word: Escamotage.

I really like the word too... it's french but in Italian we use it currently.. From your reactions I gather it's not usually commonly used.

Such a sweet, innocent mind.

I had many reasons for saying I thought the top image was targeting gay men

I did not notice that. At all. Interesting that they cropped that out of the bottom image.

That’s okay. We can sit at the kid’s table and just stare in horror at all the pervs in the room.

Also, I wasn’t sure about posting this but it’s enny’s thread and not Female Gaze.

That guy is way more sexually appealing to me as a mostly straight guy than the guys in the other commercial. I don’t find gay gays sexually attractive at all. But I do/can view masculine fit guys as being slightly sexually attractive.

The top image doesn’t scream “gay” at me the way the initial commercial did. While more arty maybe, the model is still more masculine despite the suggested gloryhole and coordinated color palate.

In general I don’t find guys to be sexually attractive. But certain types of guys/media can be arousing.
