As title ,i have a physical job and can end up a sweaty mess by the end of the day , any recommendations ? as the supermarket brands i have tried have had a nasty sweet or just not nice smell. i prefer fresh scents rather than old leather types, don't mind spending a tenner or so (big spender eh ?)
 
I always use sure for men roll on to stop the sweat smell, although recently due to budget cuts I've tried lynx roll on and it works wonders.

Body sprays don't really work that well.

You can get sure as a spray, but it's not a body spray as leaves a white residue

For body spray genuinely regardless of its association with spotty teenagers for me lynx Africa still smells great, but any lynx overall is great imo.

A body spray, particularly one at under a tenner, will be short lived and not do what it sounds like you want it to do. You need an anti-perspirant & deodorant; the anti-perspirant stops/reduces the sweating itself and the deodorant provides the fragrance. Something like Dove, Sure, or Right Guard etc will all do a roll-on which does both things.

e: or you could go for an unscented anti-perspirant and buy Lynx body spray if you want to smell like a 14 year old schoolboy :thumbsup:

I could up my budget if it was nice but not overpowering, yeah that's the image I get when I think about Lynx

I think the point is that a body spray is just a fragrance; it's a cheap way of avoiding buying proper aftershave, eau de parfum or toilette. If you're sweating then you want to address that first because a body spray will only mask the sweat smell and only for a short while. If you're not a fan of roll-ons then you could try the stick versions.

Dove Clean Comfort is my go to (can get fresh variants of it but I like the neutral talc like smell of CC). I find a lot of the others actually make me sweat and feel odd - like they are overkill.

EDIT: Also means I can wear an actual aftershave or eau de parfum without it clashing.

Mmmm yes, I can't do aftershave as I work where botanicals may get tainted (gin) I don't really over sweat but after say shrink wrapping a couple of pallets it's hard not to, uniform so I cant really alter that
