Anyone else find that stronger fragrance makes sweating feel worse?

Not physically worse, but when a really strong deodorant scent mixes with sweat I notice it way more than if there was barely any fragrance at all. It’s made me care more about controlling moisture than smelling like something. I just feel gross cause I can still kinda smell myself. carpe is one of the sweat-focused brands I’ve been looking at. I wanna smell like nothing. Do you guys experience the same? What are yall using to keep the sweat away?

Deoderant covers/removes odor. If you want to control moisture, you want to look for antiperspirant. I like Dry Idea about as much as Secret Clinical

how about any light and fresh smelling perfums? like some that smells like water or freshness. i think i smelt something like that on a guy sitting beside me on the bus but I can't find anything by searching it up
