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!

    48 hour deodorants are guaranteed to burn your skin. It’s not a sensitive skin issue, apparently everyone has it but no one speaks about it and they get insecure about it. I had multiple guy friends who had painful skin burns from antiperspirants and were ashamed but continued out of fear of smelling bad. Mind you it’s an antiperspirant issue and not a deodorant issue. Antiperspirants basically block your ability to sweat which ofc has consequences. So only use deodorants and only 24h ones, avoid 48h, especially 72h. Only spray after washing yourself, they only work to prevent smell, not after it builds up as they change your skin pH to avoid smelly bacteria. Make sure it gets to your skin under the armpit hair.
