i want to preface this by saying that i have good hygiene and don't smell bad but i find that even if i layer scented bodywash and perfumes i don't smell at all. like ive had multiple people tell me i smell like nothing and i find that guys like when girls smell good, so how do i maintain a good scent? ive tried the vaseline thing and scented body oil and it never lasts longer than 30 minutes. how do i fix this?

this is literally all i care about so ill give you my routine and if you need anymore help lmk
first thing in the shower wash with dove bar soap every single day; occasionally the dial gold antibacterial bar soap to switch it up to get rid of bacteria
every other day use an exfoliating scrub; i use dove the coco butter one and vanilla one smell very nice but you can smell and decide what you like
and then shave whenver you feel like you need to i do like every three days for the bottom half of my legs and arms and full body shave like every four days
some body parts are better to wax and shave i wax my bikini and underarms because hair can collect bacteria and make you smell there; its super easy to do at home
to shave i like to use the eos vanilla cashmere shave oil but any shaving cream/oil will do
after that use your regular scented body wash; i like the philosophy ones but just choose something in the same scent family as all your other frags so everything smells somewhat similar
last thing in the shower is shower oil; not completely necessary but makes your skin softer + the l'occitane one smells and feels so luxurious you'll feel like a princess
right after the shower slather yourself in a lotion or body butter; body butters for the days you shave
on top of that use either a body oil OR i rlly like the lush massage bars they melt into an oil on your skin; you dont need oil every day tho i again use that like every 3/4 days usually when i do a full body shave
another helpful thing to balance your ph is using glycolic acid on your underarms/bikini before you wax as an exfoliant it kills bacteria
and then spray yourself with a body mist yay

deciding to ungatekeep my #1 secret: sometimes it's the deodorant!

my #1 compliment is how i smell, and tbh usually what they're smelling is either my deodorant (i switch between two: dove white apple and tea, and some men's deo that's like lavender and spring water? blanking atm) OR perfume i sprayed in my hair (i don't use a high enough heat or produce enough oil to have a scalp smell, so i spray perfume in my hair day 1 and day 5- but i wash every 9 days + again dont rlly produce much oil or whatever so take that as u will)

for deo, a stick with a strong smell is best- i love spray tho so they both work fs! whatever u spray in your hair, just know it IS drying... but if u have a long lasting scent it'll work! sauce beauty has some good scents but expensive depending on ur budget. everyone talks about spraying on ur heat points but nobody ever mentions the pits or scalp!! im so fr this might be weird but they're my #1 hacks

use body oil before you apply ur perfume

use unscented soaps then layer scents on top of that, use body oil outside of the shower, unscented is fine but use scented if it matches with your lotion and perfume, pls use complimentary scents and not random ass scents u found LOL. I dont use perfume in my hair, I use a scented hair oil, the &honey one smells HEAVENLY, use hair products that smell similar and yummy because hair holds scents. also spray perfume on ur clothes, fabric tends to hold a lot of scents, hence when they're dirty they smell gross. use glycolic acid on ur pits so u don't stink from BO. I used to shave and wax but I have laser hair removal rn, for shaving PLS exfoliate with a scrub that matches with ur perfume, and use an African net to wash ur body!! loofas mold after a bit and African nets don't.

Get money 🤑🤑🤑🤑 spray infinite amount of perfume , try clothing perfume detergent, and maybe perfume lotion from an actual perfume brand like lancome for example

Good quality perfume for example Burberry or YSL lasts all day for me, even if I leave my shirt on the floor for 2 days and pick it up it still smells like the perfume lol.

Cheaper options like sol de janeiro (91 and 59) hold pretty well, also the light pink yara perfume holds alright for the price.
