  1. Seriously I thought we are not supposed to wear cologne or perfume because it is offensive and sensory overload? Because most places I go have signs up that say NO SCENTS allowed and some of these places you cant avoid.

  2. Not wearing cologne has nothing to do with hygiene. Lot of times it is used to cover lack of hygiene. Wearing cologne is just buying into the marketing to get you to think cologne and perfume is necessary for you to be clean.

  3. There was a whole episode of "My Strange Addiction" where a young black girl (highly suspected to be autistic) talked about how she was addicted to "vabbing" (putting her vaginal discharge on her pulse points like perfume to release pheromones). Yes. This is a REAL thing some people are into! Personally? I think these people need a shower.

  4. I know women who absolutely LOVE when their man smells sweaty. For me though, I just need my husband to smell neutral haha. No cologne. No sweat. No after shave.

  5. No not really, it's not about walking around and not showering. It is simple nature chemistry. Use anti persperant obviously, but use mild and not strong smell products and don't use perfumes. We DO have a personal individual smell, for some it's less good and for others heaven. You smell like you, not like fake strawberrys or whatever.

  6. Oh no, trust me, it's real. I come from a country that was significantly backwater until very recently. Older men genuinely believed, besides the fact the country was too poor to have indoor plumbing across the majority of it until the second half of the 20th century, leading to full showers being a thing of luxury reserved for Sunday mass and big celebrations, that deodorant is somehow unmanly, unnecessary, or ridiculous. Sure, men where in the habit of changing shirts throughout the day to make sure they didn't reek, but "masculine scent" was a real thing. It basically died down with millennials, who all grew up in a vastly different environment (just think, my mother and father, late boomers/early gen X, lived most of their childhood without indoor plumbing. My mother grew up going to the bathroom out in the open behind the house and my father grew up getting weekly showers in a washing basin in the kitchen with a pot of warm water from the stove). It was a rare feat to find millennial men confidently going around reeking of stale armpit, since we had access to amenities and social expectations of any other first world country since the day we were born. If anything, we over showered and overused scented body products, men were applying deodorant five times a day, I still remember my coworker who kept TWO deodorants in his locker despite showering daily. I am devastated to inform you that gen z and gen a absolutely stink. You can smell then walking past you on the street in the winter. And gen z women would come into the hair salon to have their hair WASHED once a week because they found hair washing tedious and couldn't be bothered to do it themselves at home. They often left with wet hair so they could style it themselves, but the washing was outsourced. I genuinely trust that this is not a skit based on empirical evidence.

  7. You don’t have to wear cologne, too many of you soak in it anyway (cologne and perfume should be something you discover, not something that clobbers you when someone walks by). But you certainly need to shower and wear deodorant. If you wanna stink just to move to India or Europe, they won’t notice your bad smell cause everyone smells

  8. Cologne isn't actually healthy for your skin, the chemicals in the formulas are mostly toxic, never use it on skin.
    Regarding showering, it depends on what products you use and your skin chemnistry. Showering with the wrong products too often hurts your skin barrier.

  9. My wife loves my natural smell for about 2 days lol. I do not wear cologne any longer. It does dull our sense of smell. Since ive stopped i notice subtle scents in things but also perfume/cologne is very LOUD to me now.

  10. Well, the perfume and deodorant industry is actually destroying our sense of smell, and thus of true biological attraction. It, like so many other modern gimmicks, creates an illusion, which then makes us believe we're physically attracted to a person when in reality this might not be the case. Normal hygiene, which, under normal circumstances, does not require any additional fragrance ingredients, would be absolutely sufficient and would actually lead to better subconscious, biochemical communication between people, especially potential partners.

  11. I don't use cologne because I work in food industry and that smell can impart on flavors making it worse eating experience I still shower I still use so I brush my teeth I just don't smell like rainbows
