I once witnessed funnies thread in my life, so I made it into meme. Feels like it fits here.
It's like when someone's used the shitter and sprayed a load of flowery shite all over and you walk in and you're like "oh wow holy fuck that smells like shit and also flowers" That's how you smell putting lynx on your BO. You smells like BO, and also some lynx - which is, honestly, not a great smell in and of itself.
Just have a bloody wash. Even just a pits and bits wash if you're in a rush.
The people at my gym! Half the dudes don't "believe" in deodorant, half the women smell like a perfume store.
Just yesterday, soon as I got on the treadmill, a young b.o. smelling dude got on my left, and an old lady smelling like perfume got on my right - I lasted 8 minutes before I couldn't take it and got off.
LOL, you'd hate my wife. Smells like she bathes in perfume, but only fairly close, no idea how she does that. Also, she's Asian, doesn't have any smell of her own. Floats my boat!
It's like using air freshener in a dirty bathroom. It doesn't smell any better, now it just smells like poop and flowers.
My god yes. Came here to day that. Mom would take a dump and spray flowers around. "Thanks, but I'd prefer my shit neat, no mixer."
You're supposed to spray it in the bowl before you go tho
Are you actually? Is that really a thing?

Finally someone who sees things the way I do. I always hated it when after sports/p.e. my classmates would add the smell of cheap deodorant to the smell of their sweat. The sweat smell on its own would have been less offensive. (Provided it was relatively fresh sweat. But even in the case of days old rancid sweat, nothing can really take the place of plain old washing yourself.)
Some people in HS absolutely reeked of weed, and one day before class someone spayed some apple scented air freshener to cover themselves. I joked "Ahh yes. I love the apple and dumpster fire weed smell, it really mixes well"
Like that shit is not saving you, stop trying to pretend like you don't smell like weed
Using cologne can actually increase the smell. Part of how cologne works is it uses a compound which easily evaporates and carries a smell sensitive molecule with it. If it also picks up your BO shit gets 100 times worse. It doesn’t cover up anything it just amplifies it.
I've got an incredibly sensitive nose. If you've used more than one spritz of perfume or cologne I literally can't be in an enclosed space with you. My nose begins to feel like it's burning, my throat tightens, I can only think of how to escape your wretched stink.
IDK why anybody wants to smell like a mix of stale piss, dead flowers and sandalwood.
Do you also have a very good sense of taste? If you're a super taster as well it's a rare thing and there are some career options for you.
The excessive quantity of the cologne is absolutely a problem.
This is why I specifically look for antipersperants and not deodorants. I want to not sweat; not just add more smell to to the stink.
Degree used to be perfect. Actually stopped sweat, had no added scents. Now that shit does fuck all, and has all the typical dumbass scents like "cool sport" and "gunmetal." 😬
I use degree's "prescription strength" stuff and it actually is the best antiperspirant I've ever used. I used to sweat through basically every deodorant I ever wore from middle school to my early 20s till I found that stuff
If your skin is not sensitive and white cast is not a deal breker simple unscented aluminum based anti perspirant works just fine.
If your skin is sensitive an issue or you want to avoid a white cast look for a magnesium based or probiotic option.
I would focus on the active ingredient rather than brands or marketing.
I have extremely sensitive skin, but aluminum antiperspirant has been fine on it. I really get into trouble with aluminum-free brands, especially if they have baking soda in them. I have to say contact dermatitis in the armpit is a unique method of accidental self-torture.
Same. As long as the antiperspirant is unscented, the aluminum kind is fine for me.
But woe is me if anything scented goes in that general vicinity. Hives in the armpit is a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I use Arm and Hammer Antiperspirant/deodorant. I have to skip showering for a full day to smell any funk and the deodorant part really doesn't smell like anything.
While I'm shilling, all their products are like that, well, the toothpaste, kitty litter and laundry soap anyway, don't know what else they sell. Smells good, kinda neutral, works a charm, no gagging perfume, no overwhelming mint, no premium price tag. Did I mention their products get shit clean? If they enshittify, I'm throwing in the towel. Kinda like if Zippo enshittifies, punch me the fuck out.
Deodorant is supposed to inhibit bacterial growth, which is what makes the sweat smell

I’m a huge fan of Drysol. You apply it once every few months and it prevents you from sweating. It’s a little itchy while drying but after that you’re sweat free for weeks! Then you can go without a daily product, or just a light wipe of deodorant if you like the smell.
In my opinion there may be a better option for you (unless you have a clinically bad case of extra sweat, which obviously is another thing). Try a deodorant that aims to control the population of bacteria on your armpits. Bacteria are what actually produce the chemicals that smell bad. Since switching to a scentless bacteria controlling deodorant, I still sweat but my stink is gone. Same for my partner. And it's much healthier for you in my opinion.
This was for real life changing for us.
BO? Back Orifice?
Body Odor
Psst (they know that)
All sides my brother.
Clean yo self my friends.
Stay spring fresh out there

Ah that makes sense. It is true.
The art style invokes some Kingdom of Orungu vibes from the ancient equatorial African period.
I loved Princess peach in the Mario movie.
Also: fucking patchouli
Best feeling when you know that colleague is in the office because the smell of vanilla singes of your eyebrows the moment you enter the building.
