        You can email p and g or Unilever and ask. That should get you most deodorant brands.

        Here I can get the cheapest for~1,70€. I don’t want axe or such stuff, I don’t like this pungent smell. Just don’t want to smell sweaty. If I want a special scent I take parfum, smells much better and I guess is cheaper for me

    Unlock the deodorant, lock up or straight up ban cologne and perfume. I’d rather smell someone’s BO than be assaulted by someone’s perfume on the bus.

      I agree to a point.

      There are people who use much lighter scents and don’t bathe in it. That can be pleasant.

      Anyone using stupidly strong scents or just absolutely overdoing it should be charged with sensory assault or something. Also, people who don’t outgrow the high school mentality of bathing in perfume or cologne to hide BO instead of just taking a shower.

        I do a single spritz of cologne on the chest before I put on clothes. That way I can smell it, and anyone that gets very close can smell it too, but i dont think I stink up an elevator.

          Yeah, I also try not to go overboard with it. I try not to use too much and prefer cleaner, less overpowering scents.

          I’m not trying to warn people of my presence when I’m a room away. It’s meant to be a pleasant background scent in my immediate bubble.

        Until everyone does it and you again get assaulted by 50 different vanilla or citrus scents making the bus smell like a soap bar.

    I honestly didn’t think deodorant was stil a thing since I decoupled from advertising. I’m a man who can cook and eat well so apparently I smell great even if I go a couple of days without showering sometimes.

      You either have East Asian ancestry, and therefore an ABCC11 mutation, or you reek to high-heaven and are nose blind to it. Diets are not correlated with a lack of body odor, our bodies likely produce strong odor for mating purposes so there would be no circumstance where you wouldn’t have one, sans the aforementioned mutation.

      So, either you got dry-ass, clumpy ear wax (another mutation symptom) or you stink and can’t tell. Sorry bud, if it’s the latter.

        I think it might be because I mostly wear wool and linen clothing (including underwear). Body odour is mostly bacteria and wet cotton is excellent growing grounds for them. I often have people (mostly women) tell me I smell great and ask what schampo/bodywash i use. Thing is I use the most basic perfume-less one.

          Nope. Your body odor is associated with your secondary sex traits, not cotton. You start stinking when you hit puberty. You might not smell as bad because you never made an antibacterial nest in your armpit where just whatever can grow once it’s gone, instead it being filled with your natural flora, but that does not change that you have more body odor than those around you (for both good and ill)

        It’s just something people say to me quite often. Even before I met my wife. I don’t think it’s politeness or flirting. People have literally done a double take and inhaled deeply.

      I honestly think deodorant is 70% advertisement. People were fine without it a century ago. BO doesn’t bother me, except after intense exercise or if the person doesn’t shower, those are the only genuine use cases I can imagine. Otherwise—meh, a five minute shower every morning and after exercise would result in less consumerism and is preferable IMHO.
