And finally, there was New West – which I believe was manufactured by Aramis at first but was taken over by Estee Lauder. Another carry-over from the 70s into the 80s was Brut, by Faberge. I’m glad a previous poster (or two) mentioned Polo in the green bottle. After bathing it is pretty common to find the men put on a hefty dose of fragrance before a night out. On the other hand, almost half my fellow male citizens are of Latino ancestry, which appears to take a different view of the matter. on the other hand was verboten, although after years of living and working here with the heat and the impact of German friends I’ve come to a more realistic tolerance for it. My cultural background imprinted an enduring prejudice on me that colognes are rather dandyish, for real men, if not exactly verboten. They’re unlikely to go anywhere else first.Īs to wearing fragrances…culture clearly plays a role in acceptability of perfumes. It is reality that by the end of the day a truckload of workmen is going to smell like a truckload of men, who if they remark on it at all mention that they look forward to getting in a shower as soon as they get home. I leave in Arizona’s hot desert and I’d say it’s culturally much less acceptable here getting on a bus in Tucson in July usually has nowhere near the same impact-I believe most people are likely to be wearing deodorants.
truly socially acceptable and unremarkable in Germany? Does it go unnoticed, or is it a fragrance of it’s own? Is this a misconception on my part? Things change, but as of my most recent trip just a few years ago a carload of Germans in summer was powerfully redolent of a carload of Germans in summer, and not something that seemed worthy of remark by those present. I’ve spent a fair amount of time around Germans in Germany and here in the US with whom ones natural aroma doesn’t seem to be remarked on.
