    I usually don’t but some conditioners smell p nice and I got complimented last week after using this : “Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner”

    Also lavender soap/body wash is my jam but not sure anyone’s ever commented on it

    Sawdust, machine oil, and metal filings. Shit you not.

    I use dove sensitive skin soap and herbal essences rose shampoo and conditioner. I use regular men’s speed stick for deoderant. Basic unscented lubriderm moisturizer. Basic crest shampoo. Tide clothing detergent as i imagine that infleucnes how

    I think there’s a big element where some people find each other’s smell attractive, and that can differ a good bit from person to person. I mostly don’t use any strong smells.

    I swear I’m not making this up like a month ago my physical therapist asked me about the new cologne I’m wearing. I told him I didn’t use any and he kind of persisted he was like no, it smells really good and I’m like I dunno dude. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure I’m not wearing cologne.” I don’t have a sense of smell since catching covid in 2020 so I had no clue. Then he was like “oh, I forgot I put a scented candle down over here, I didn’t think it would be so strong when it’s not lit”. He clearly felt really awkward and I didn’t want to laugh too much to make him feel worse but what the hell dude.

    I’m partial to vanilla+lavender or snickerdoodle scents, I have some homemade rollers for both of them. However the thing that really made people start complementing my scent was switching from cigarettes to cinnamon flavored nicotine pouches. Apparently they made me smell really strongly of cinnamon

    It’s a knockoff of some much more expensive cologne I haven’t smelled. I don’t like generic masculine colognes. This one is like jasmine layered with lavender, sandalwood, and orange blossoms. Wonderful smell if you don’t overapply it, the best cologne I’ve found. When doing laundry I dry it alongside a wool ball that I’ve sprinkled with lilac essential oil.

    In the past I used nag champa incense and hotboxed dank weeds in my room, that plus old spice pure sport deodorant and various fruity cheap shampoos. People would tell me I smelled great but they were usually stoners.

    I rarely bathe and also put on some cheap citrusy perfume sample once every week or two.

      Estrogen’s effects on my body odor were noticable in the first week. I didn’t have a bad natural scent before, but it’s amazing now.

      I use unscented deoderant and a sandalwood/vanilla body lotion, and sometimes a hint of a musky perfume.
