Americans, what are your thoughts on deodorant/cologne?

Spill it!

deodorant: wear that shit you dirty smelly hippie!

cologne: if you choose to wear man perfume, do so in extreme moderation.

It's what all the rest of you need to use more of. Non-American men smell like week-old choad.

Deodorant of course.

Cologne moderately.

Oh hell you said Cologne.

I'm going to say fuck it.

American men and their altered biology smell totally different from everyone else of course.

i smell good in issy miyake

i have owned 2 bottles of "cologne" in my life

no cologne.

i've gone off deodorant recently. this is really new to me. but i think the use of deodorant requires further use of deodorant. once you're off it for a week your body adjusts. if you have BO then it's going to be fresh-scented BO, but it's still BO. but if you bathe with soap you should be fine. obviously if you're out breaking sweats all day an antiperspirant might be useful.

so yeah, i'm starting to think, none of either.

admittedly though i am a good smelling person at baseline, so my preferences shouldn't necessarily be the norm for everyone else.

i don't wear either. i take a shower and use soap. it works pretty well.

these products are for covering up that which should not be there.

bad smells come from a system that is dirty within and must not be

masked, but dealt with from the inside out.

synthetic and even some natural fragrances can be to strong and

it is unfair to subject other's around us to a headache or a bout of

nausea because we think we smell good.

however, a bit of subtle natural essential oil can be quite attractive and effective.

i say trade in your chemicals for natural in transition and aim to

fix the problem inside so that a sweet smell can be coming from

within always.

i smell like fruit and flowers most of the time

these can't be the thoughts of a real person.

deoderant is pretty necessary. i start smelling BO 5 minutes after i've dried off after a shower. antiperspirant is nice too, but i find that i'm gonna sweat sometimes no matter what glob of chemicals is steaming in my pits.

Give up the unnatural abomination that is your computer and allow yourself to live outside and one with nature.

It is possible to be clean and not smell without deodorant.

dunno about that man.

well it is. simple

if you shower and use soap you don't have to use deodorant, assuming you aren't a really smelly person to begin with. maybe some antiperspirant if you sweat a lot.

This is true. I only wear deodorant if I know I will be physically active and around people thereafter. For the most part I wear neither deodorant or cologne, except for dates. Ladies love a good smelling man. Antiperspirants clog your pores don't they?. My basic routine is showering, and I have never had anyone complain that I stink or smell poorly.

Haha, you guys..

deodorant kind of goes without saying; cologne never.

they are not the thoughts of very many real persons, thats for sure

 

what is real and what is excepted as being real are two different things.
