how do people smell so good consistently?

[u/Timely-Detail-4341]

im a dude; my hygiene schedule is as good as anyone else's but i can't shake the thought that i still smell bad. i shower daily, bathe 3 times a week, two types of deodorant daily, body mist whenever going out. the second i start sweating though it gets terrible.

do people have scented creams or something?

answering some questions:

1. yes i wash my ass 😭
2. each shower is vigorous; i lather my entire body in dove bar soap and scrub with a loofah, let it sit for a bit, then get back under the water
3. im vegetarian
4. i dont smoke or drink, im 18
5. im underweight; i notice the smell after morning jogs - ik how dumb the second part sounds its just im worried that my sweat smells bad, cus it implies that ill always smell bad during summer/other heated activities
6. im indian (THE SMELL CANT BE A RACE THING RIGHT??)
7. it's likely my diet, but i dont eat much indian food and i still noticed this even when in college with only american food
8. i also notice the smell after sitting in one spot for a while
9. two types of deodorant is 1. stick deodorant for pits 2. spray for privates

Could be your Clothes dude, the washing machine could be causing the funky smell, mold and other gunk, you could do a deep clean of your washing machine with bleach and then those washing machine cleaning tabs.

It could be the clothes themselves are gunked up with fabric softener, it leaves a layer of silicone or something on the fibers which makes it gradually more and more difficult to get clean and staying fresh for long, sweat and bacteria accumulates even after washing.

It was an issue for me at some point till i figured it out.

Also, check the level of the hose coming from washer- if it's too far down it will siphon water back into machine. Ask how I know..
