# Manly Scented Soaps ManHands has Captured the Fragrant Essence of Man in its Man Soap Line By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-01-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/man-soap References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2013/01/25/manhands-manly-scented-soapsbecause-all-you-need-to-be-a-man-is-to-smell-like-one/) & [gadgetsandgear](http://www.gadgetsandgear.com/man-hands-man-soap.html) ManHands has found a variety of common man scents and created a clever man soap line. Men no longer have to feel unmanly when their smell is mistakenly masked by a miss-shot perfume spray or a bowl of girly vegetables. That smell can now be swiftly scrubbed off and replaced with a choice man smell. The man soap line comes in 19 different man smells ranging from baseball glove to urinal mint. They also include political smells for the sophisticated man like [Republican](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-a-vote) and Democrat. ManHands is part of a clever wave of [male-targeted novelty products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign) that are exaggerated and clever. One can’t help but laugh at the premise, even if they have no intention to smell like fresh top soil. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Male-targeted Novelty Products:** Opportunity to create exaggerated and clever products specifically designed for men. - **Customizable Fragrances:** Opportunity to offer a range of unique scents that cater to individual preferences. - **Humorous Personal Care Products:** Opportunity to develop personal care items that bring humor and entertainment to everyday routines. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Care Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating unique and humorous products that stand out in the market. - **Fragrance Industry:** Opportunity to explore new and unconventional scent profiles to cater to individual preferences and target different demographics. - **Gift and Novelty Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create male-centric novelty items that offer a unique and humorous gifting experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Action Bar Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-willies-rugged-clean-body-bar.md) - [Comical Hygienic Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-for-a-midlife-crisis.md) - [Humorous Natural Deodorant Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-man-jack-still-smell-good.md) - [Natural Men's Cleansing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-soap-body-wash.md) - [Masculine Refillable Soap Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-refillable-body-wash.md) - [Spooky Soap Bundles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooky-suds.md) - [Seasonally Scented Body Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-spice-holidudes.md) - [No-Nonsense Grooming Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rock-face-makes-scents-campaign.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-call-of-duty-collection.md)
