Man Fire
I currently smell very slightly of it. (I presume; I have almost no sense of smell, but I am on the waiting list for a nose job this summer, which should, I hope, fix that.)
But what, you ask, is Man Fire?
Well, it's one of Lidl's range of male shower/hair gels. They do a whole assortment of these, many of which are called something to do with Fire or Ice or Gold or something. Presumably these are seen as macho in Neckarsulm.
I rather like expensive shower gels like the frothy stuff from Imperial L(e)ather and the Essential Oils stuff that uon favours, but it does rankle a tad to buy this stuff for £3 a tin and then, well, wash it straight down the drain. So ladytg presuaded me to shift over to the really cheap stuff - the sort of 12p-a-bottle offerings from the big supermarkets.
Nothing wrong with this. It does the job. Doesn't smell of anything much, or perhaps very faintly of antiseptic or washing-up liquid or the like, though.
Lidl, on the other hand, have this range of entertainingly-named skin detergents FOR MEN, and they're something like 50 or 60p. At a quarter to a fifth of the price of something virtually identical branded RightGuard or Gillette or Brylcreem or something, well, it's not exactly an extravagance.
And it's purple. So dark purple it's almost black. Which is, of course, inherently cool.
What does Man Fire actually smell of, though? Does it smell like something manly to do with fire, like abseiling into a live volcano?
No. It smells of flowers, as far as I can tell.
I just hope they're MANLY flowers.
