While I buy scentless when I can, the brands and products marketed to men are usually priced differently, and often cheaper.

Scent is more for other people smelling you, most people prefer to have it, and women generally do not want to smell like old spice. Men probably don't want to smell like baby powder and floral notes.

Some do like to smell like that, some don't. Either way, you can't expect an entire industry to cater to your personal preferences when the apparent majority prefers it the other way.

You just have to decide whether or not the extra cash is worth it not to smell like a dude. Most women seem to think the value is there.

They're minorly different like different proportions of items in vitamins or often smaller portions. Less of a product for more money.

Usually you can find the same product with different flavors and ingredients with a consistent price for the same brand. Variation is no guarantee of price difference.

As with the above, women have evidently decided that they value the product enough that they're willing to make that sacrifice. I feel like there's a real cart before the horse situation going on here.

Businesses will charge exactly as much as they think they can get away with charging. They don't operate as charities. So they've determined men are only willing to pay 10 bucks for their vitamins and women are willing to pay 15 bucks for theirs. You can rest assured that men are also paying as much as they're willing to pay.

Why do men not want to spend as much? I don't know. I'm not a psychologist or a sociologist. But the business evidently has that dialed in.
