    Using cologne can actually increase the smell. Part of how cologne works is it uses a compound which easily evaporates and carries a smell sensitive molecule with it. If it also picks up your BO shit gets 100 times worse. It doesn’t cover up anything it just amplifies it.

    The people at my gym! Half the dudes don’t “believe” in deodorant, half the women smell like a perfume store.

    Just yesterday, soon as I got on the treadmill, a young b.o. smelling dude got on my left, and an old lady smelling like perfume got on my right - I lasted 8 minutes before I couldn’t take it and got off.

      LOL, you’d hate my wife. Smells like she bathes in perfume, but only fairly close, no idea how she does that. Also, she’s Asian, doesn’t have any smell of her own. Floats my boat!

      Try POOPH Pet Odor Eliminator in one of those atomizer spray bottles (super thin mist).

    It’s like when someone’s used the shitter and sprayed a load of flowery shite all over and you walk in and you’re like “oh wow holy fuck that smells like shit and also flowers” That’s how you smell putting lynx on your BO. You smells like BO, and also some lynx - which is, honestly, not a great smell in and of itself.

    Just have a bloody wash. Even just a pits and bits wash if you’re in a rush.

    Finally someone who sees things the way I do. I always hated it when after sports/p.e. my classmates would add the smell of cheap deodorant to the smell of their sweat. The sweat smell on its own would have been less offensive. (Provided it was relatively fresh sweat. But even in the case of days old rancid sweat, nothing can really take the place of plain old washing yourself.)

    The art style invokes some Kingdom of Orungu vibes from the ancient equatorial African period.
