How deodorants have names that don’t tell me anything about what they smell like.
Some examples:
Old Spice Foxcrest: This tells me precisely nothing about your product’s scent and isn’t even actually a thing.
Old Spice Swagger: Swagger is a verb, like I’m pretty sure of that, and also that generally verbs don’t smell like anything, you’re thinking of nouns. My real question is, why did they think this was a good idea?
Axe Anarchy: Well at least it’s actually a word, and they also managed to find a noun so good for them. Though Anarchy is a philosophical and political theory, do concepts have smells? Are they trying to find a nice way to say “punk stank”? Because that is exactly the opposite of what I buy deodorant for.
Dove Cool SIlver: That is a color. Colors are not smells. You are terrible.
Speed Stick Cool Force: Is it minty? Is it one of those acrid cleaning product smells which is what society has decided is what “manly” smells like? Is it a cheaply produced French children’s show where the name wasn’t actually translated that well?
