To be honest, I think this can also depend a lot on the climate that you’re from. In cold and dry climates you don’t necessarily get as smelly. When I moved to a hot and humid place it was like “okay, showers are a multiple times a day thing here, I guess.” Even when staying inside and loafing about in air conditioning it was noticeably worse. There’s a number of factors that change from person to person too… some people are greasier, some people are stinkier. You should probably shower and deodorant up whenever you’re going to leave the house and be near other people as a rule of thumb, but I think a fair number of people don’t shower every day and can get by okay.
I'm used to a drier climate. When I've visited some places that are more humid, I've been surprised how much more I can smell everything. Every person. Every place. Around corners. What's on the ground. Everything.
I do wear a scented antiperspirant because I like how it smells, it doesn't react badly with me and I don't wear a lot of other scents. But yeah, some places require more than that even.
This 100%, for me at least
hell, I shower once a week, when I'm not doing manual labor like, say, construction or weightlifting. (which I then shower immediately after.)>
I don't smell at all by day 6, but my hair gets mildly greasy, so I wash it.
live at 6273ft above sea level, in a "high desert plains", acccordig to google.
YMMV, obviously.
worth noting that I've also been noseblind since birth, and the only feedback I have in my scnents (or lack thereof) has been my family's noses, and my partner's nose.
Definitely. Me personally, I sweat in humid and hot climates in a certain way but even when it's dry and cold I get this weird sweat where my body is cold but my armpits are sweating like crazy. It also doesn't help that you wear warmer clothing you constantly have to shed when going inside...
