![]() ![]() It’s like Axe, but for adults!” I don’t text this to friends, but it’s a body spray made with prebiotics, which supposedly work to fight odor-causing bacteria - not just mask it. My usual answer is some corny pitch, like: “It’s this OffCourt spray. What is that?” That particular friend’s partner texted me a few weeks later: “What is the name of the cologne you were wearing when you were visiting? Gus’s birthday is next month and he liked it!” Later, they became more direct: “Jeremy, you smell amazing. “Something smells good,” one friend remarked as I sat down next to them at a bar. The real magic (in the form of unsolicited compliments) came in the weeks after I started using it regularly. Feeling cleaner and refreshed, I hustled to the restaurant. But truthfully, the spray was subtle and just smelled pleasant. I wish I could tell you this was an “aha!” moment in which, upon smelling it, I was transported, Ratatouille-style, back to a childhood memory. I quickly wiped down with a wet towel and sprayed the white can (the citron and driftwood scent) under my arms and across my chest. Then I remembered that I’d received a PR sample of three OffCourt body sprays, which were sitting on my desk. I figured I’d have to smell sweaty and dank as I sat next to my friends at the table, irritating their noses. I didn’t have time to head home and freshen up with a shower or apply more roll-on deodorant, which I’d also left at home. Last summer, I went for a post-work run and came back to the office with ten minutes left before my dinner plans.
