I don't use deodorant or antiperspirant, and have not for years (decades even). I have asked and no-one has said I smell bad - although I'm not a heavy sweater. If I have worked out/done heavy exercise then I'll generally shower if I can, but even if I don't it's not a rank smell, just a 'musk' ( I have asked). I've worked with a guy that did use antiperspirant/deodorant and by half way through the day he was rank...
I wish... I unfortunately have to use deodorant because my natural body odour literally smells like cannabis. I get weird looks sometimes if I forget.
Eyyy a fellow weed guy
I generally don't smell like much but after sweating a bit, i smell like weed.
Just to add, I have 2 young kids, They would tell me if I generally smell. They will sometimes comment if I've been out mowing the lawns / clearing scrub / cutting up loads of firewood.
