Does your underwear smell??? Our does :D

We've just launched in time for Valentines the new Impetus 152095 retro short - which is a bit of a mouthfull so we've dubbed it "The Love Trunk (http://www.deadgoodundies.com/apparel/impetus-valentine-mens-underwear.html) "

Whats so special about this underwear is that it's been impregnated with a very well known mens fragrance (but we aren't allowed to say which one) and comes in a very nice presentation box which when you open you get this nice smell rising from it.
Add to that the fine mesh sides, faux zipper print and glittering little hearts it would make a nice novelty Valentines present for the man in your life (or for yourself if you love yourself that much)

Also just a quick note to say that the sale on both justhom and deadgoodundies will be finishing at the end of the month so if you are after a bargain act quick

Look, not to denigrate what is probably a fine promotional gimmick, but I do have to say I PERSONALLY don't really wish a man's groinal area to reek of some intense designer migraine inducing perfume. Just give me plain old FRESH man's sweat and I'll be pole-vaulting round the room!
For me, that's the ultimate pheromone.
This of course does NOT mean three-week old rank fetid drawers, ...although I do realise many here will relish just that.

Or more probably from a woman to her long-suffering man, ...who as deusex has stated with such insight in a previous thread, "would wear ANYTHING to get laid"!!!
Glittering little hearts??? FAUX zipper that doesn't even function? And intense head-blasting cover-up smell as well???
FAR too close to those jokey things sold by predominately female lingerie sites for me, ...but I'm sure there will be some who think they're just the "cat's pyjamas"!
What do others here think?
I may be in the minority.......wouldn't be a first time! :D :D :D
You'll probably sell a million of the girly things!

I'm sort of with Bondsman, while I think the design is nice, I personally gave up cologne years ago, and I actually find it a turn off. That's not to say I like smelly guys, but I do like guys to smell natural.

But that's just me, I know they'll sell well, as you often get knocked over walking past guys at the mall or on the street and they've practically bathed in the toilet water.

Come to think of it, neight Adrian nor I celebrate that silly Halmark created day where flowers are more expensive and restaurants have limited choice on their prix fixe menus for double what you'd normally pay.

I like it when on some random day he surprises me with a gift and a romantic evening - mean's so much more.

but don't let me spoil it for you! Enjoy the prefab day.

FAUX zipper that doesn't even function?
I don't see the point of fake zippers, but then I don't particularly like real zippers either, not on underwear.
I recently bought a thong with a zipper. The main reason I bought it was that the adult store chain had a "50% off the 2nd purchase" sale, so that being the second purchase I got it for half price. Brand name is BANG. (Go figure.)

They are quite nice looking thongs, if you like thongs, but the zip is designed to be fuctional, not just for show.. for which reason the zip itself is on the inside and can be a little irritating when rubbing against SweatyAussie's sub-navel area. The two ends of the zip, which do not totally close, also have an annoying habit of catching hair or skin. So I am not a convert to zipped underwear. I'll probably save it mainly for the sex club or for underwear parties (of which we have bugger all in Perth).

since we're on the zipper subject...

I actually like zippers - and the message they send....Open for Business.

The zipper has to be functional and I've seen it designed so that there's an extra flap of fabric behind the zipper to prevent accidents while operating the zip.

AND I also want to add to my original comment about valetines....I may not celebrate it, but I'm not too proud to push our gift wrapping during that LOVEly time of year. It's a business afterall.

I wouldn't pretend that this is a super duper blow your head off great everyday underwear, like anything that is made for an occasion like valentines it's going to be gimmicky a bit like getting a big teddy bear with a heart on it and exactly as said above a bit jokey but that's kind of the idea of it to give to someone just for a bit of fun.
Personally I would prefer the smell of this to that of fresh sweat but thats probably because i've no interest in my own or other mens smells.

At the end of the day it's meant to be a "novelty" underwear type of thing that fits, smells and feels nice.

How about your wife? Does she prefer you to have a bit of cologne or would rather your "man" scent? There must be women who feel that way too.

Seriously, I think it's nice. Sure it's a novelty, but I think it's more original than some roses or chocolates - at least some thought as gone into it.

She definatley prefers the cologne smell.

Don't know if you get these little savory snacks called "Twiglets" over the pond (or in your case John over the pond and up a bit :D ) but ever since she told me that sweaty crotches smell like them i always make sure i smell nice with a splash of cologne (just a splash mind you not drown myself in it)

Hmm. Adrian has had twiglets as he's from England. I'm going to have to check out local British store to see if they have them.

offtopic - British chocolate and candy in general is soooo much better then over here. Adrian got me hooked on Galaxy, Curly Wurlys and British Maltesers. Adrian explained that because of our hot summers, they have to put more wax in our chocolate to keep them from melting. The only problem is the Brit stores here charge almost 2 dollars for a regular size galaxy chocolate bar! Guess that's the cost of importing.

You think Galaxy is nice, your should try Thorntons - Vienesse truffles (http://www.thorntons.co.uk/ThorntonsSite/product/Thorntons%20Specialities_Party%20Favours/4058.htm) are my favourite and I can eat bags of them. In fact PM me your mailing address and i'll get some sent over to you (thats how good I think they are)

I know what you mean about chocolate being different in various regions, a friend of ours is headmaster of Shrewsbury School in Thailand and they can get Cadburys (http://www.cadbury.co.uk/en/ctb2003/) chocolate there but it's totally different because they had to change the formula because of the heat.

If you can't find Twiglets , try and find Marmite as thats pretty much what they are coated in.

Marmite! Wow, your wife is pretty mean telling you you smell like that! My ex was from New Zealand and would eat the stuff regularly. I humoured him and tried it once - never forgave him for it. I think that's why we broke up. (kidding)

LOL her comment wasn't aimed at me, rather she had a conversation once with one of her girlfriends BUT it's true though I did actually test it once by not showering for a couple of days (grubby little herbet that I can be) and then having a sniff and it is Marmite :D

There used to a be a AD campaign here in the UK for Marmite which was basically two types one was Love Marmite and the other was Hate marmite (with people going almost having a orgasim over it or throwing their guts up) and I have to admit thats kind of accurate you either do love the stuff or hate it (im in the loving it camp as I often use it in cooking or smother toast in it so much that it makes the roof of my mouth sting).

EDIT: Actually found on of the adverts on Youtube - which I admit is probably one of the most graphic examples of what I mean

Oh My God! That's fantastic. British humour is just so good. They'd never play something like that here.

Yes I think the British must have some obsession with vomit gags

both Adrian and I love Little Britain, but feel they took the vomit and peeing too far. Our favorite was the Red Nose episode with Elton John and Dafydd- who obviously wasn't briefed on what he was going to be asked...

Sh*t, it looks like I have to put out again!!!! Where's my Cologne?

Look, I know this thread started about Valentine's Day, ...and I guess chocolate is in there somewhere but.....????
I am surprised the hear that the fabulous chocolate addicted deusex likes the underwear, ......I have read comment elsewhere that would have convinced me otherwise. I'm betting NO guy would ever drop his daks in a change room to show "glittering little hearts" without his mates rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter, and him becoming an object of ridicule for years after! :eek:

And while we are on the sense of smell, I recently read an article on pheromones and the research showed that hetero men were most turned on by a substance found in female urine!!! :eek: (Which explains a lot...!)
Gay men rated this as the most off-putting, ...surprise, surprise!
Hetero females were most turned on by a substance found in FRESH MALE SWEAT!!! (They all rated in the most arousing, but were not told what it was. Gay men also rated it the highest.
Sorry justhomdotcom, your wife seems to be on her own with this, .....I have always wondered how hetero men could ever bear those really heavy, cloy, overpowering scents women seem to love? No man could be within this chemical warfare without retching or developing migraine at very least. I can't even bear to be in a lift at work after a certain women has left it hours ago! (Imagine a night of "up-close-&-personal"? You'd need to be decontaminated and steam-cleaned!)
In an unguarded moment of mine she once planted a congratulatory kiss on my cheek, and I literally couldn't wash her stinking perfume off for days, ...and I tried everything!
I am sure they wear these for other women, ....not to attract men.
(But then, I'm NOT hetero! :D )
I too have given up the heavy "poofter-water" thing, ......specially the Calvin Klein/Joop napalm, but there are many others just as strong.
Sometimes, a gay dance-floor can resemble Saddam Hussein's gassing of the Kurds!
I have never noticed myself or Dearest Boyf to be smelling of "Marmite", ...though I realise smell is a subjective sense.
I will agree that sour body odour is off-putting, but that's just old.

As for the underwear, (are we still discussing that here?).....I'm still betting it will be a girl's gift to her man, who will wear it once to please her, ......and get his sexual ration dished out for his reward, then it will be hidden VERY deep in the back of his underwear drawer for ever!
