Androgyny...

There is nothing soothing about Shokubutsu's Lavender & Rosewood. Marketed as "soothing"body foam, i felt more disconcerted than soothed when i used it. Unable to find my usual Oat and Shea Butter, the adventurous decided to try something different. "Can't be that bad," thought I, the one much accustomed to Shokubutsu's other body foams.
First thought when i first used it: eeekkks, that smells like the cologne my colleague uses, only twenty times stronger. (Just think how some people pour the whole bottle of cologne on themselves.) Oh gosh, oh gosh. I smell like a man. I reek of masculinity! Even Dynamo smells better.
So how can i be soothed with so much dissonance?
Man? Not really, but smells like one.
Woman? Looks like one, but doesn't smell like one.
Hmmm, maybe it should be marketed as the "androgynous" body foam. And i can't help thinking of Shania Twain's song, "Man, I Feel like a Woman", but only the converse.
