I have a nicer shampoo that’s about 3x as expensive, but it’s also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I’ve taken a shower.
So yeah, I think it’s worth it.












It’s BOSS Bottled Tonic. The idea I had originally was to not mix different scents randomly (soap, schampoo, deostick, EdT), potentially creating a dissonance or “frankensmell”.
I don’t know enough about this to select a combo that works, but I can make sure to use the same scent across the board. BOSS Bottled Tonic existed as combined bodywash/shampoo, deostick and EdT. Unfortunately they seem to now have discontinued the deostick variant so I’m using the standard BOSS Bottled deostick as a replacement. It surprises and annoys me that companies aren’t consistent with the available scents across their product lines - did this mode of usage never occur to them? In my mind it should be a kind of baseline default.
