Me dumb male, me never use deodorant or perfume before (shower everyday tho). What brand or products should me do to smell good but in a low key way? Or just how to get start on the smell good journey in general. For reference, I live in a hot and humid place and I sweat quite a bit. Thanks you!

    I haven't really used anything to manage my smell other than warm water and deodorant for several years. Someone with a good sense of smell that doesnt bother sparing people's feelings recently commented that I smelled fine.

    Here's an article about it if you're interested. I sweat a lot at work and wouldn't feel clean without showering typically a couple times a day but it's still food for thought. https://bigthink.com/life/james-hamblin-clean/

      hmmm just more "hygiene hypnosis" hocum.

      going on about peanut allergies being caused by too much grooming. peanut allergies are typically noticed in early childhood, well before the age when people start engaging in really intense grooming. if personal care products caused nut allergies, there would be a lot more 17 year olds with sudden onset nut allergies.

      Then later is starts talking about clorox wipes. People know you aren't supposed to bathe with clorox wipes right?
