      Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.

      I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

        Now I really want to make Piperonal since it apparently smells really good. I just lack money, equipment and skill.

        Also I don’t know how legal that would be since it could be used as a MDMA precursor and even if it’s legal I don’t really want to get the house of my parents raided.

        I’m a generally masculine-presenting cis guy and I’ve never liked cologney smells. My favorite deodorant all my adult life has been one from the women’s section that has a picture of cucumbers on it. The scent is subtle, not overwhelmingly chemical or perfumey, it keeps the B.O. at bay, and nobody really notices it but me.

      I’m allergic to the scents in women’s deodorant. I get hives. I use a pleasant (imo) smelling old spice and it is great. Especially because I sweat a LOT.

        Are you sure it’s the scents and it’s deodorant, and not antiperspirant? I have trouble with antiperspirant but deodorant is fine.
