What gets me is that, according to the gender stereotype, women enjoy the flowery type scents, so you would think that if ladies find that pleasing that men would want to smell that way.
Personally, I like to smell clean and I don’t buy soap based on the color of the bottle or whether it says “for men” in it. My shampoo/conditioner has a nice citrus aroma, but more importantly it does a great job on my hair.
You probably think that freshly mown grass after a spring rain smells good. You would probably be weirded out if your chocolate cake smelled like that. Just because women like flowery scents doesn’t mean it is a good idea for a man looking for women to wear one.
Edit: You are comparing an unrelated “pleasant” smell (I’m neutral on cut grass, but I get your point) with something that people already know how it’s supposed to smell.
With fragrances, neither males or females naturally smell like flowers. A lot of women seem to enjoy smelling/smelling like flowers.
As a man I also enjoy smelling flowers (but I’m not big on artificial fragrances in general) so I don’t feel like a grass smelling cake is a good comparison.

Why would you mow the grass right after it rains?

That’s not the stereotype, the gender stereotype is that women are supposed to smell that way.
Needless to say, it’s a stupid stereotype, as stereotypes generally are
