Take a shower using scented soap, shampoo and conditioner. Brush your teeth with a scented toothpaste and floss with scented floss. Use scented deodorant, lotion and wash hands with scented hand soap. Put on clothes washed in scented laundry detergent. Style your hair with scented hair care product.
Maybe even use scented toilet paper (seriously, scented toilet paper was commonly available until the 1980's, but fell out of favor when people thought better of putting chemical-drenched paper in their most intimate of areas. However, with some Googling, I see it is still available).
All of these scents combined can lead to a cacophony of odors.
Additionally, when Procter and Gamble give their products a scent, do you think they're using some centuries-old recipe handed down from Cleopatra involving rose water and anise seed (for example) or do you think maybe it is potentially-harmful chemicals designed by Dow? My guess would be the latter.
Between the olfactory assault and the chemical implications, maybe we need to take a hint from the scented toilet paper example.
It takes an additional minute to find them in the store, but all of the above items can be bought unscented.
Still want to have some scent? That's reasonable. Buy one scented item. Buy a scented lotion, or better yet a cologne or perfume as they are designed to last. My current favorite cologne is Acqui di Parma. (cough, cough, Cary Grant used it).
And why are you all of those scented items anyhow? If you have an odor problem look at your diet, limit your coffee intake and drink more water. If this does not clear it up, go to your doctor. Seriously.
