do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

      Deodorant only masks the B/O scent for long enough for the wearer’s nose to forget about it. The rest of us still smell it when you enter a room.

          Bad deodorant, sure. The good ones will try to eliminate the bacteria causing the BO so you don’t smell without having to mask it. There’s definitely loads out there that don’t get rid of the smell though.

          But yeah, people should wear good deodorant and not antiperspirant in my opinion.
