Do you use deoderant? (lemmy.ml)

I don't use deoderant; I don't feel the difference and I never really cared much about my smell; but my parent keeps bringing it up and it's annoying.

Also, what's wrong with smell? Human smells differ anyway.

The dose makes the poison. A little scent can be nice, but it needs to be a hint. The problem is that most folks seem to think they need to overpower all other smells in every room they’re in. That’s offensive for sure.

I have learned the best way to put on perfume is to spray it so thin, that other people can only smell it when they hug you. That's a special and intimate moment for them then.
