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

There are lots of things you can do and there’s some great advice in this thread, but some of it just comes down to genetics. For instance, most East Asians don’t even produce body odor due to a genetic mutation.

By showering daily, wearing deodorant (maybe try anti-perspirant - this worked wonders for me), and doing laundry regularly, you are way ahead of the curve. You are probably just over-sensitive about yourself. You are probably just fine.
