@Matt now I’m curious about those Fulton & Roarke smelly sprays you mentioned. We went to this natural botanical perfumery when we were in Ireland. They made everything on site from botanicals native to the Burren area we were in. Really cool but still a bit too female purfumey for my tastes. Looking for something kinda like the AKT scent profile in a cologne type thing.
Those solid fragrances look interesting.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle the Cult Favorites Discovery set is a good place to start. I got the full discovery set and saved the ones I liked. I think the Cult Favorites are all included in the ones I saved.

Don't want to spoil the party, but I thought it might be helpful to say that I don't think the AKT deodorant is that great for me.
pros:
- works well against sweat
- smells good (got the grey)
cons:
- is applied with the hands, which then smell all day long. I hate that.
- it‘s fucking expensive
- the tube cap is difficult to handle
I‘ll stick with my Speick.

I agree it’s very expensive. Personally I don’t mind the size of the cap or having to use my hands. I don’t notice a lingering smell on my hands. I don’t even wash them after and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t find the smell to be overly present throughout the day. The lack of sweat and BO is the best I’ve ever experienced in any deodorant I’ve used so I can live with the price.
But I appreciate your opinion. Nothing is for everyone. Except Wu Tang.

day two and completely agree. Even after washing my hands twice they still smell, which isnt a problem at all, until I start eating food like grapes or something one eats with their finger tips or even drinking coffee/tea in the morning where fingers are close to the nose.
Gonna buy a bamboo applicator tool rather than their ridiculous from akt, because otherwise enjoying this stuff. I can't tell though if it's noticeably strong to other people or if it's just being on my fingers. Don't like things to be too strong for other people who are sensitive to smells.

@ZackB my wife has been sick since I got mine and can’t smell anything at the moment. I’ve been trying to get her to smell my pits relentlessly. To no avail

@Mizmazzle
, hopefully soon then. Super curious what you think of the Franklin & Roark. My cart is waiting for your review. -
@Mizmazzle while my wife isn't sick there was a similar moment where she looked at my with a sideways glance after I asked her to smell my fingers.
