OH YAY, I was finally able to get this!!!! I am over the moon because this is EXTREMELY hard to get recently. It's been in market since July, I guess. This is chewing gum called "Male Scent" but what's so special about this gum is that it exclusively targets dudes from 20s to 50s. You see, male body odor is something unpleasant even if some of you (a.k.a. me) find it arousing. But seriously, you don't want the werid male typical middle aged man smell on you, do ya? This gum has come to rescue. The substance, geraniol, which you can find in roses is in it. What it does is that once it's inside the body, it comes out from sweat glands. That way, you will smell like rose subtly but for sure. I like to smell something subtle. You might think fragrance would be an alternative solution. But we don't really wear that and oversprayed guys are a big turn off. For the record, I don't smell like a middle aged smelly man .... but I bought 5 packs yesterday. Due to the super popularity among guys here, this is so back ordered. This illustrates there are so much more metrosexual guys here in Tokyo, maybe. I was very happy to see them at the closest convenience store! Rose scented Shigeki from now on. :-) How romantic. I can go on a date after eating too much garlic. :-) However, I don't deny that I like to smell something smelly under the SPECIFIC circumstances...
You have a fantabulous weekend! I am going to smell like rose today. :-)
Yet another unusual/unique invention from Japan. I love your products - they always go beyond the normal necessities of life and thanks to YouTube today, that certain TV personality called Hard Gay Tokyo. I don't know if you've seen him around but he is so funny clad in his leather tight costume and his humping hips. Hahaha! I bet you'll get a lot of smelling around.
I find it interesting that they would have men smell like roses. Would it be a stronger smell the more they perspired?
I find the sexiest scent on a man is soap. There's something about the smell of a freshly laundered man.............to bad they can't bottle that. :-)
Have a wonderful week-end. :-)
Rose does seem like an odd scent to choose for a man!
Wouldn't sandlewood or mint be a better choice?
Hope that you get to smell something SMELLY real soon! :P
That is really interesting, tell me if it works and if you can smell the rose scent on you.
There is a cologne in Germany that does something similar, you put a drop of it in your water and it comes out through your pores. I can't remember what it is called but I use to use it when I lived there.
that is the oddest thing! please report back if it works or not.
we definitely need something like that here in canada. a lot of people, for some reason, don't seem to understand the concept of bathing.
Sounds intresting though all men would smell alike! how much does it cost?
i adore the box...

I so want it! THough I agree, 'minty-fresh' man would be cool too.

I still want to sniff you, even though I'd prefer the Shigeki-pure versus the Shigeki-rose :)
Have a fantabulous weekend.
O.o this is my first. such genius invention! I wonder if they have edible True Star or cK One or Polo Black chewing gum. hahaha...
Oh please send me some, cheques in the post :o)
Hmm...scented Shigeki with a stinge of Rose aroma oozing from his body!! That is a thought. The product is so cool. But Japanese guys are very metrosexual. You can even tell which ones are gays and which ones are not.
That propbably explains why the subway smells because none of the guys use fragrances....;-) Damn.... nice fragrances is a huge turn on for me! :-)
Hi Mark,
I guess we tend to be unique as our Sony is going downhill? :-) I hate that guy, Hard Gay becuase he is a newly married straight. But I don't own a TV so I don't know his performances well. I am sure he will be phased out soon. You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Maggie,
Nope, it's not really strong at all but you can definitely smell it. I experimented on my friend the other day. It's okay but the smell of the gum itself is kinda strong. I think Soap is a great scent but Irish Spring soap is not my favorite for sure. I just don't like that smell for some reason... You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Hanuman1960,
Well, it's not as girly as it is. :-) After all, this is a very metrosexual country. :-) Mint would be better but I think it's a little stronger? I don't know. You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Cesar,
Yes, it does work and I could smell it on my friend since if I have it by myself, you wouldn't know for sure. :-) I didn't know you were in Germany. I lived in Germany for awhile, too! When you remember the name of that cologne, please do tell. :-) I am very interested. You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Raph,
Yes, it does work. It definitely smells like roses. :-) I actually experimented something. I had too much garlic and chewed this. THen, I hit the fantabulous bar. THey didn't notice it. :-) The burps I was able to hold were kinda garlicky... Wow, there are people who don't bathe often? huh... unfortunate. You have a fantabulous week!
HI Envyspot,
I don't know how much it costs but I think it's about the same price as other chewing gum products. You have a fantabulous week!
Hi TK,
I am sure it will be available at Familymart (The convenience store) that has recently launched in your country. :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Steve,
You know since I am what I am, I don't even know what I smell like naturally. I wish there is a way I could smell myself. But that's weird? You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Ash,
hahaha, CK One is too strong if it comes out of every pore. :-) But this chewing gum is kinda cool. I don't wanna have it everyday but when I want to smell like roses, yes. :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi James,
Hehehe. When I see one, absolutely. You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Ian,
You can even tell which ones are gays? oh wow..I can't because there are too many metrosexuals.... The subway smells? ew.. which one are you taking usually? I take Marunouchi line when I work in Tokyo but it doesn't smell at leat the closest station... huh.. You have a fantabulous week!
