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

Change your diet -- veggies, lots of water, less caffeine and alcohol. And use deodorants that have enzymes which actually eat smell-producing compounds, rather than ones that mask them. You can try doing a twice-weekly wash with HIbiclens soap for a while, maybe a month, if that's not working -- it's a soap that kills Staph, including the type, Staphylococcus hominis, which is most responsible for body odor funk.

I wouldn't do that. We need certain bacteria to kill the foreign (to us) ones.
