Decent smelling body spray ?

[moon man]

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 ?)

Have a shower

It's not Sunday yet ! Seriously though I can be fresh at 8 and not pleasant at 2pm

One I buy is THIS ONE and is currently on offer.

Ah yeah I have a few months of prime never thought about that

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

 

[moon man]

Right Guard has been my go to for years. Various scents too.
If you have an Aldi near you, their Lacura stuff is pretty decent (and cheap).

Yeah I didn't really get on with those

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.

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

 

[moon man]

Guessing you get 6 months plus out of a stick right ?

 

[moon man]

Better off getting an unperfumed Anti-Perspirant and then a little bottle of a nice eau de Toilette for the nice smell overlay.

Yeah that makes sense, nice long lasting one

This will last all day and a few days if accidentally sprayed onto clothing.

Sounds like my kind of smell

• Top Note: Apple, Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Pineapple, Lemon
• Middle Note: Rose, Birch, Jasmine
• Base Note: Musk, Ambergris, Patchouli, Vanilla
• Experience the best Armaf has to offer, this

Are you overweight and do you drink a lot? If so, cut right back or stop altogether.

No ,yes.no

 

[moon man]

dermatologists are wrong, 1-2 showers per day is right
only vegans shower every 3 days

tbf every day seems excessive i have been known to do some soap dodging

 

[moon man]

And you wonder why you smell?

well i worked this morning ,only moderately physical today, my own company tonight , i will probably skip a wash until Sunday night , is this why i am still single ?

 

[moon man]

Body spray is ineffective on smegma and your balloon knot. Nobody is going to want to go near either if they have been ripening for 3 days.

obviously i will wash my crown jewels in-between showers but i don't shower every day for sure

 

[moon man]

That's grim, no wonder you stink

i may have gone nose blind , found some daffidoff cool water in my cupboard and it smells ok but sort of weak , i wont back track though as if its a cool easy day at work i will skip a shower in fact i do baths not showers ,controversial or wot

Shameless AI cut and paste

• Skin issues
  Showering too much can strip your skin of its natural oils, which can lead to dry, itchy, cracked skin. This can also cause skin infections, allergic reactions, acne, and dandruff.
  
  
  
• Immune system
  Frequent showering can reduce the ability of your immune system to create protective antibodies and "immune memory".
  
  
  
• Skin microbiome
  Showering too much can disrupt the balance of microorganisms on your skin, which can lead to the emergence of hardier, less friendly organisms.

A grown man trying to find ways to justify his lack of personal hygiene is tragic. Showering once a day is not too much.

you don't have a life outside of the internet though so probably just have showers to fill your meaningless days, are you really scaley ?

 

[moon man]

Its not that I smell it's a case of 34c on a hot day , with physical work at that temp I will just be damp and not feeling fresh .
Other cooler easy peasy days no probs .
Btw I don't mention this a lot but I am vegan so don't eat red meat I also don't eat sugary things , my vice been 2 bottles of red a week and a 6 pack of crisps.
Not ignoring the comments so I stuck some rock face in my basket and looking at the other suggestions

 

[moon man]

Mitchum roll on. Sprays are cancer in a tin

I did see that in Tesco will pick it up next time ,try a few

 

[moon man]

Mmmm and dove as well maybe it will all get used hopefully before, I retire

 

[moon man]

Used the rock face today, it's definitely a cover up job not that I needed it , I will use it but a little too sweet smelling for me , I noticed the 2 dove sticks in Tesco at 3 for 2 (not sure if 24 HR 72 HR or both) I could combo those with Davidoff cool water I have
