Out There: the rich-man script batch

I wish I found this before I showed up to my last flight smelling like a body spray ad.

I sat down on the flight and the woman next to me leaned away.

So I asked the guy on the other side if it was that strong and he said pretty strong.

He said to try this because he had an extra, and he handed me this deodorant stick called Out There.

He said it's a fragrance-house scent in a stick, so it smells like a cologne instead of covering like a spray.

There are five scents and they're $9.98 each.

I put it on in the bathroom and smelled like the cologne counter till we landed.

And on the way out the woman who had leaned away asked me what I was wearing, which is the first time a stranger has ever asked me that.

It's on the shelf in over 634 Walmart stores now too.

I had to sit next to my ex-wife and the man she left me for throughout my daughter's graduation.

I gave that woman the best years of my life.

And there was no way I could miss it, it was my daughter.

So I had to walk in, in front of everyone, and be seen.

And the only reason I walked in with my head up was because of what my best friend handed me three nights before.

I'd spent the whole week dreading it, and not because of her, because of how I smell.

I didn't want a hall full of families smelling the drugstore aisle on the man she traded in.

I'd spent over $2,000 on cologne, Dior, Creed, Tom Ford, and everything I put on just sits there and does nothing by noon.

My friend has worked a fragrance counter for 15 years, and he didn't even hesitate.

He pulled out a stick I'd never seen before and said this is what the guys behind the counter actually wear.

Drugstore sticks are built to go unnoticed, so they sit under your arms smelling of nothing by noon.

This one is a fragrance-house scent at $9.98.

I looked at him like he was crazy, the graduation was in three days.

He looked me right in the eye and said put this on tomorrow, then look at how people react.

I walked into that ceremony with no bottle and nothing to hide behind.

She looked at me for a second too long, like she was doing math that wouldn't work, and said you smell really good.

A few minutes later I noticed her boyfriend kept pulling at his collar, because his cologne had gone sour in the heat of that hall.

Then one of the other dads leaned in and said I'm sorry, but you smell incredible, what is that.

I told him it's a deodorant, and he said a deodorant, and he pulled out his phone.

I texted my friend that night and he wrote back, that's what happens when it adapts to you 251% better and stays that way for 16 hours instead of sitting there going sour.

He told me they sell out constantly, so I've linked it below if you want to see it yourself.

One $9.98 stick, that's all it took for me.

When she leans in and pulls back like this, when he asks you to stand downwind, and when your own car starts smelling like the drugstore aisle, you need cologne.

But unless you have $250 for a designer bottle, you're probably trying every men's grooming hack from TikTok right now.

So let's rate which ones make you smell expensive and which ones make you smell straight up like the aisle.

A body spray goes first, and I'm sorry, but somebody has to say it.

You're paying $8 for a can of air that sits on your shirt for 20 minutes and does absolutely nothing a shower wouldn't do in 30 seconds.

A $4 stick does the job it was built for, which is going unnoticed, and nobody has ever leaned in for that.

A cologne sample on your wrist is decent, because it has the real scent and it does smell expensive for an hour.

But it goes on your wrist, and the smell everyone is actually getting comes from under your arms.

Scented deodorants are where it gets good, and the good ones, like Out There, are fragrance-house scents, Santal Vetiver, Bergamot Wood, put on where the smell actually starts.

So it sits where the odour forms and takes it as it forms, every day you wear it.

And out of every scented deodorant I've tried, this one is the best.

And here's what's crazy: Dior Sauvage is $165, Creed Aventus is $445, and they both give you fifty bottles to guess from.

You're spending $165 playing a guessing game, buying the wrong one, buying another one, and spending more money.

This one is $9.98, which means you're getting all five scents for less than a third of one designer bottle.

I'll link it below.

You've probably already spent money on cologne, and it probably didn't get you asked what you were wearing by anyone, even once.

I spent $487.42 proving why.

Five bottles over six months and 183 days, and the number of times somebody asked what I was wearing stayed exactly where it started.

I kept a note on my phone with the bottle, the date I started, how many sprays, and how many people asked.

Every single day the last column said zero.

I'm an accountant, and for eleven years my job has been numbers that have to add up, with zero margin for error.

If a number is wrong, you don't hope harder, you find out why.

I didn't panic, I researched.

I went straight to the science, real research on how scent works on skin instead of blog posts.

What the research revealed I started calling The Neck Trap, which is spraying the expensive thing on your neck while the smell everybody actually gets comes from under your arms.

A fragrance worn on skin blends with the body odour already there, so the $165 on your neck was never the scent you paid for by ten in the morning.

The bottle wasn't wrong, the $4 stick under it was.

I ordered Sauvage the next morning, then Bleu de Chanel, then Aventus, then a $47 discovery set, then a $71 bottle with a gold label, and the column said zero after every one of them.

My wife found me at the kitchen table with the receipts folder open and asked me if that really said four hundred and eighty-seven dollars.

I told her it did, and that none of it worked.

So I did the arithmetic the other way round and put a $9.98 fragrance-house scent where the smell starts, which is Out There, Santal Vetiver, under both arms, and nothing on my neck.

On day three a woman in the lift asked me what I was wearing.

That's one more than six months of cologne got me, and it's linked below.

The best way to smell expensive is NOT a stronger stick, NOT a body spray, and definitely NOT a $250 bottle.

If she leans away when you hug her, or nobody has ever once asked what you're wearing, you need to hear this.

I used to ask every man at my counter the same thing, which was what deodorant he was wearing under that.

After 11,000 men and the same answer every single time, I stopped asking, because it was always a $4 stick.

The counter isn't full of men who ignored how they smell.

It's full of men who spent on the wrong thing.

I've worked a fragrance counter for fourteen years, so let me tell you what that actually looks like.

A man walks in, tries six bottles on his wrist, pays $165, sprays it on his neck every morning and goes to work smelling like a $4 stick by ten.

He comes back, blames the bottle, and buys a stronger one.

One of my regulars told me something I think about every day, which was that he owns $800 of cologne and nobody has ever asked him what he's wearing.

So here's the trap most men are stuck in, two paths, and both lead to the same smell.

Path one is buy the bottle, spray the neck, buy a bigger bottle, and smell like the aisle by lunch anyway.

Path two is do nothing, keep the $4 stick, and let the drugstore decide how you smell for the rest of your life.

Most men blame the bottle, they blame their skin, they blame the heat.

It's none of those things, the scent on your neck is blending with what's under your arms, and under your arms is a product built to go unnoticed.

But there's a third path nobody at my counter will tell you, because it costs $9.98.

Last month my own wife got in the car and asked me what that aisle smell was.

So I put a fragrance-house scent where the smell actually starts, which is Out There, Bergamot Wood, under both arms, and nothing on my neck.

She got in the car on Tuesday and asked me what I was wearing.

Fourteen years at the counter and that's the first time anyone asked me.

I've linked the $9.98 stick below if you want to see it for yourself.

I am going to say something that nobody who wears cologne wants to hear and I don't give a f*k if it upsets you.

My brother bought the bottle in July 2024, sprayed it every morning, moved on to a second bottle, and started layering two scents, of all things.

He did everything the magazines told him.

On October 19th at his own wedding nobody asked him what he was wearing, and the groomsman next to him got asked twice.

The first bottle was $180 and the second was $90.

I need to tell you what happened to my brother, because I'm seeing the same posts online that he was making just months before the wedding, asking what cologne actually gets compliments, and it makes me physically ill.

If you're in your twenties or thirties and you spend money on cologne, please watch this entire thing.

I know it's long, I know you're scrolling, and I know you have things to do.

He got engaged on June 28th, 2024.

Two days later his fiancée told him the photographer wants him close in every shot, and that they needed to talk about how he smells.

He asked what was wrong with a $4 stick and whatever was on sale, and she told him that's not enough, he needed something real, every day, no exceptions.

He hung up the phone and sat at the kitchen table for forty minutes without saying anything.

Then he stood up, got his laptop, and started ordering.

I watched him buy a $180 bottle of Tom Ford, a $90 bottle of Dior, a $40 bottle of Nautica and a layering set, the whole cart in under an hour.

He said that's it, he was doing it, and he did.

For 103 days he didn't skip a morning.

He did everything right.

The wedding was on October 19th.

He'd sprayed every morning for 103 days, and the man who got asked what he was wearing was his best man, who wears a $9.98 deodorant called Out There and nothing else.

Here is what nobody selling you a bottle will say out loud.

A scent worn on skin blends with the body odour already there, and under a $4 stick there is plenty of it, so the $180 on his neck was never the scent he paid for by the first dance.

His best man put a fragrance-house scent where the smell starts, and that is the whole difference.

I bought my brother one the week after, Tonka Amber, $9.98.

I don't know where you're at right now, but if you have a day coming up full of people, it's linked below.

Your barber has no cologne, no designer bottle, no gift set, and no card from the fragrance counter.

He also gets asked what he's wearing more than any man you know, and he smells the same at six in the evening as he did when you sat down at nine.

That made no sense to me, until I asked mine and found out why.

He works with his hands all day in a hot room, he sweats more than any man in an office, he does everything a cologne ad would say makes you smell like the aisle, and he smells expensive.

Meanwhile, you spray $165 on your neck at seven, sit in an air-conditioned office, and by ten the only thing anyone can smell on you is the $4 stick under your arms.

How does the man in the hottest room in town smell better at six than the man who spent the most?

And the answer was so simple it made me angry.

He puts on one thing in the morning, and he puts it where the smell actually starts.

A fragrance-house scent goes under both arms, and nothing goes on his neck, and that is the whole difference between him and you.

Everything you spray on your neck blends with what's under your arms, and under your arms is a product built to go unnoticed.

Your barber does something, and you do nothing.

His is called Out There, it's $9.98, and the one he wears is Santal Vetiver.

I'm 34, I bought one on the way home, and on Thursday the woman at the front desk asked me what I was wearing.

That is the first time in my life anyone has asked.

I cut hair for a living, and I was shaking because of what a client told me.

Last month a client asked if he could buy something off my station.

It wasn't the clippers and it wasn't the pomade, it was something I'd left by the sink.

I thought he was joking.

He offered me $20 cash on the spot.

Let me back up.

I've been running a five-star barbershop for about four years now, and I've had hundreds of clients, businessmen, grooms, teenagers before prom.

I've gotten compliments on the fade, the hot towel, the chair.

But I've never had someone try to buy something off my sink, until this.

He came in for a cut before a wedding, a guy in his thirties, the best man.

Halfway through he asked what that was, because it smelled like the Tom Ford counter in here.

I told him it was my deodorant, and he laughed at me.

Then he leaned over to the sink, picked it up, read the label, and said this is $9.98.

He offered me $20 cash on the spot.

I said no, but I sent him the link where I got it from, and he ordered one before he was out of the chair.

If this guy, a total stranger, was willing to pay cash for a stick off my sink, maybe I should keep one at every station, so I did.

My reviews changed to things like "I don't know what the shop smells like but I want it" and "ask him about the deodorant" and "my husband came home smelling like a department store."

I started getting men booking in who didn't need a cut.

Most people don't realize this, but the scent you spray on your neck blends with whatever is under your arms, and under your arms is a $4 stick built to go unnoticed, which is why the $165 bottle never lasts past ten.

It's called Out There, it's a fragrance-house scent in a stick, five scents, $9.98, and it goes where the smell actually starts.

I now keep one at all four stations and one at home that nobody touches, and I've sent the link to at least ten clients, and every single one has messaged me to say thank you.

Right now it's on the shelf at Walmart, and it's $9.98 on the site with 30-day returns.

But based on the guy who tried to buy one off my sink, I don't think you'll be returning it.

Here is the link if you want to see it for yourself.

My wife asked what cologne I'd finally bought when she got in the car last month, and I told her I hadn't bought anything, I told her about a deodorant.

For two years I'd been living inside this cycle that never stopped.

I tried everything I could find, Sauvage every morning for over a year without missing a day, Bleu de Chanel, Aventus, a discovery set that cost more than my groceries.

She would get in the car and say nothing, and I told people I'd run out when they asked why I never wore anything.

The low point was a Tuesday at the office, when a woman asked the guy at the next desk what he was wearing and he said his deodorant, and I had spent $400 that year on bottles.

I started researching at night, actual research instead of forums, on why my cologne doesn't last and why nobody can smell it.

All the standard results said the same things, spray more, try a stronger concentration, be patient.

Then one night I found a research summary that stopped me completely.

It wasn't about the bottle, it was about where it goes.

A fragrance worn on skin blends with the body odour already there, and under a $4 stick there is plenty of it by ten in the morning, so the scent on your neck never arrives the way it was designed.

I sat there in my dark bedroom, phone screen on my face, and everything shifted.

I wasn't failing because I was doing it wrong, I was putting the right thing through the wrong door.

I kept seeing one name in the threads, Out There, a fragrance-house scent in a $9.98 stick.

I ordered it with zero expectations, because I'd been disappointed too many times.

On day seven the guy at the next desk asked me what I was wearing.

On day fourteen my wife got in the car and asked.

Six weeks in she asked what cologne I'd finally bought, and I told her exactly why the stick was working when the bottles hadn't.

It's just the first thing that put the scent through the right door.

If you're watching this with $400 of bottles on your shelf and nobody has ever asked, you're putting the right thing through the wrong door, and once you fix the door it changes faster than you'd expect.

This deodorant is the best Christmas gift for any man who still wears body spray, and it's $9.98 with free shipping over $19 right now.

I was one bottle away from a $250 cologne and this $9.98 stick saved me.

[run rm-04-already-spent-money from "You've probably already spent money on cologne" to "and it's linked below", unchanged]

Now me, my brother, my best man and thousands of other guys wear it.

Sadly, because the demand is high, it can be tricky to acquire as they are often sold out.

But if you are watching this video, there is still time.

So if you're like I was, spraying money on your neck and throwing money at bottles that never last, before you spend another dime on another bottle, try this one thing.
