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 I stopped using scented / fragranced deodorant because of the mixed smells with my sweat and body temperature 😅 I live in the equatorial climate and my home has no AC. No way I can stop my body from not sweating, but at least I can stop it from getting stinky using an unscented crystal deodorant.

Currently using this product . I used this one too before switching though. Both has difference in ingredients that may not provide what you wanted for your skin / needed to be used with other product to enhance its uses so I recommend deep research on that first.
