I use womens deodorant, not fruity ones but "fresh" ones i guess. Can't stand mens deodorant, reminds me of locker room stank.

reminds me of locker room stank

I wonder why

[–] Persen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

IMO people should just use medical (smelless) deodorant, as smell is subjective, so there is a smaller chance to annoy someone.

But what if smelling like earl grey makes me happy?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I'm using one that's labeled as "Cobalt". Smdh doesn't smell anything like actual cobalt, what a ripoff

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

It had better at least be blue.

Lol, jokes on us they're all blue, cobalt or not

I don't use deodorant with aluminum and parabens. Today I prefer to use a solid stick deodarant made from magnesium and other components

Does cobalt have some particular smell?

I don't know but I think a deodorant with cobalt doesn't seem like a "healthy" thing to put under the armpits lol

I was just joking, I don't know what cobalt smells like. Unfortunately I don't think it actually includes any cobalt. That would've been metal as fuck

It's not even partially radioactive

If it were possible to have a deodorant that itself had no odor at all, that's what I would choose.

"Unscented" still has a very clear scent.

I too prefer unscented, and usually the women's version. Current one I usually use is the thin Tom's of Maine unscented, which I think is the one for women. The thick blue body has the powdery deodorant while the thin white body has the smooth solid.

I want gunpowder or sawdust scents.
