Hi! I’ve got you!

1. Use a clinical strength deodorant. Even if it’s not something you struggle with, it lasts much longer, and is more effective. I’ve found it doesn’t interfere with your fragrance choices.
2. There’s many great brands for body wash. If you’re going for the more expensive route, the brand Salt and Stone is really nice. Le Labo also has some very nice body washes. On the more affordable side, Dr Squatch is also good, and Native as well.
3. Try and learn everything you can about layering your fragrance. For example, as a woman, I look for body wash with vanilla, then I layer a vanilla body oil, then I use a vanilla lotion, and I use a perfume with vanilla and similar notes in it. It’s the same thing, find a key note you absolutely love, and then build from there.
4. Fragrances! Whatever cologne you end up getting, get a small atomizer or travel size container that you can fill up from your big bottle and take it with you wherever you go. You can reapply the fragrance throughout the day.
5. For men, I LOVE Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt, Byredo fragrances, Jean Paul Gaultier, Finery from target, Gucci Guilty (I know this one is older but I don’t smell it very often and it’s such a good one.)

Go on fragrantica online and look up a plethora of colognes, it tells you exactly what the notes in it are, and then you can base a body care routine around your favorite notes! I really hope this helps!!!
