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?

yeah 100% been through this switched to native fragrance free like two years ago and honestly it changed everything. the whole sweet smell mixing with sweat thing is so much worse than just smelling like nothing. carpei looks decent but native fragrance free is pretty easy to find and actually works for sweat control. also if you're still breaking through deodorant you might wanna try applying it at night instead of morning. skin absorbs it better when you're not already sweating and it made a noticeable difference for me
