The cosmetic company Zirh has just introduced their new Warrior line of shower gels for men. Their enticing website invites you to choose the historic warrior with whom you most identify and then to purchase the corresponding scented shower gel.
Are you witty and cunning like Ulysses? Then you’ll enjoy the light, exotic smell of a shower gel empowered by sesame oil that moisturizes while it cleans.
(OK, reality check. We’ve done a little survey here at the eCool Compound and we don’t think any of these famous warriors ever smelled very good. Ulysses: sweaty and smeared with Trojan blood – you’ve gotta be kidding! Charlemagne: wrapped in all those medieval furs – ugh! But we’re willing to go along with this fantasy because we love the idea of men rubbing Julius Caesar- or Alexander-scented gels across their bodies in the shower every morning.)
Maybe you’re more like Caesar — a bit ruthless and utterly ambitious? The gel for you has a refreshing citrus scent and includes almond extract that will soften your hardened shell.
Or, if Alexander the Great’s your man because you pride yourself on determination and resilience, then there’s a empowering spicy wood scent that’s been designed with your needs in mind. With added olive extract, this gel has anti-aging properties and is a natural moisturizer.
Prefer the exotic east? Then maybe you’re benevolent and considerate like the Persian ruler Cyrus. You can express that side of your nature with a sensual smooth scent infused with carrot extract that will help you maintain your soft smooth skin.
Finally, if the Middle Ages are more your thing, then you’ll want to pick up a bottle of Zihr’s Charlemagne scent. Its cooling icy smell will leave your subjects with no doubt about your pragmatism and intelligence, while the chestnut seed extract acts as a natural astringent that will envliven your senses while it opens your pores.
