I don't know, my Mom never asked us what we wanted, personal hygiene wise. We got Lava soap, Crest, Right Guard underarm stuff, and No-Name Brand shampoo. (Also Aquanet Hairspray, I don't know why, it only ever got used to make flamethrowers and kill bugs.) When we asked for whatever was hot at the time, she'd remind us we had our own money. Being cheap teenagers... we used what Mom bought.
My older son, I'd ask him what he wanted for smelly stuff, and it always boiled down to "what did you get me last time? That." But shampoo and the like, it's whatever I bought. He rarely had any interest in what was commercial and cool, still doesn't.
My husband only has a few preferences, otherwise, I just get him what I like. I'm the one that has to smell him, after all!
