I've used a lovely Lush deodorant bar almost all year round. But in the summer, even with current low temperatures, it just can't cut the mustard. I'm not even particularly sweaty so I don't mind being a bit damp, I just don't want to pong.
So today I'm trying a Tisserand roll-on with no aluminium and no something-else-which-I've-forgotten. Very expensive at about £4-something. I've spent the afternoon sniffing surreptitiously 'towards' my pits as there's a fusty old body smell in the office. Eventually I couldn't take it any more and ran off to the loos to have a proper sniff. Just a wee bit humsome, could be worse. I then washed myself sparkling clean, only to be hit by the 'aroma' again when I went back into the office. It's not me! It's some other stinky bod!
So, what's the solution?
a) use conventional deo/antipersp with foul chemicals that will kill my pores and cause me to develop skin lesions and abominable pestilences - but all the while smelling fresh as a daisy?
b) carry wipes in my handbag and reapply my natural deos on a regular basis?
c) learn to live with the smell (or the fear of the smell)?
What would YOU do?
