    Generally speaking, very cheap scents will smell like very cheap scents. I include Lynx/Axe in all it's forms in that assessment. Fine for teenagers, not so great for an adult man.

    For really cheap shower gel that is less likely to make your skin fall off with irritation, I used supermarket brand baby all over wash as a broke student. Less than a quid and never irritated my skin or smelled of overpowering cheap scent.

    Supermarket own brand anti-perspirant is going to do a much better job of keeping you dry and fresh than a deodorant body spray, which is mainly alcohol to evaporate quickly, mixed with cheap scent to mask, rather than prevent, stale odors. Antiperspirant is the word to look for, not deodorant.

    Find a reasonable cologne and use it at your collarbone, the crook of your elbows, and behind your ears, and forget about body spray altogether. For men, Roget et Gallet Homme is reasonably priced and a major step up from Lynx and it's pretenders, and there are other well priced colognes that last well and smell much, much more elegant than a 69c spray.

    Unsolicited female perspective, over and out.

    Sanex all the way for me. But some of the Lidl/Cien stuff is fine.

    I never use deodorant or antiperspirant, i shower every day. My body is designed to sweat, if i shower often enough i dont smell of sweat and I change my clothes every day. I've always thought that spraying myself with unknown chemicals every day doesnt seem like the best idea.

    Prefer dry deodorant sticks, much nicer than than those wet ones with a ball that you rub on.

    Does that not feel like rubbing a bar of dry soap under your arms?

    Totally agree with the sticky wet balls comment, and the way they catch the hair under your arms... sweet jesus! :(

    Its 69c for a reason. You will only attract other tightwads if you use it.

    Lads at work used to use the cheap crap from Tesco and god it was foul.

    Considering a trusted brand is in legal dispute, is any of this mulch actually safe to put on your body?

    Shower with a spray of water only? No unknown chemtrails? Wash clothes in plain water only?

    Sodium bicarbonate, drop of vinegar. Be grand.

    Would, and do. You don't need to spend Lynx money on stuff you wear to work and back. Only deodorant, never anti-perspirant - last time I tried it, it made me overheat then failed catastrophically.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I find Lynx is great for keeping women away, better than pepper spray anyday.

    The Lidl anti perspirant is good and less than €1. Spraying it directly up your anus is supposed to give relief from haemorrhoids.
