Fragrance Max at 14.

[shortassgingy]

yo i have no idea what fragrances to buy as a 14 yo. tryna smell better but i have no idea where to start. i have a budget of like 200(250 if you really really have too) for like 2-3 colognes. i really like more sweet and ocean like smells, and mainly want to smell fresh.

Perfume has a ton of nasty chemicals, and honestly they're not healthy, but this is just fearmongering, realistically the "estrogenic" effect of some of the compound in a perfume (and even that, it's going to change heavily from brand to brand and the composition they use) isn't going to have the effect in the video, that's just bullshit.

If you care that much, maybe don't use them, but it's a non-issue for the majority of the population. I use perfume every time I go out, my testosterone was like 800 ng/dl last time I got checked, not super high, but definitely higher than average.

why would you use fragrances? You smell bad naturally? The alcohol in fragrances will dry your skin.

Obviously that wasn't caused by 'estrogens' in the perfume that was caused by drug misuse, but fragrances do contain EDCs so I would avoid them.

I don't like ocean-like fragances or smells, and frankly don't have any recommendation. But for something sweet JPG Ultramale is probably a good pick, not very niche, everybody and their father has tried it, but it's a nice initial fragance and it will run you like 100 dollars.

they make you smell weird and unnatural. Women like the natural musk of men, spraying some retarded chemicals on your body will not attract more women, I'm not saying it will repel them, it's just a waste of money and in the long run, bad for your health.

Oh, yes, I'm not denying that, specially if they contain synthetic fragrances. But I don't believe the systematic effect is as relevant as people seem to believe, or rather it's not that I don't think, but that the research simply disagres. Avoiding fragrances is personal, I understand if you're very health-conscious and all natural, but it's not really that much of an issue, if any.

I'm pretty sure humans don't have a "musk" unless you're literally stinking, people just kinda smell neutral. Plus, you never got a lady to tell you "You smell so good today!" when you tried a new fragrance? Fragrances carry memories and can even convey emotions, they're situationally useful

Humans do have a natural body odor, musk is literally just that.

If you smell bad it's probably just adolescence hormones messing with you and probably high cortisol. I'll give you some advice:

1- HEALTH, if you're healthy you will often smell less bad (diet, sleep, modulating stress, exercise, etc.) all can improve the way you smell.

2- BENZOYL PEROXIDE, your sweat doesn't actually smell, your sweat has compounds that the bacteria on your skin eat, and then they poop out aromatic compounds that DO smell. The solution is using something like benzoyl peroxide, you can find it on acne washes, use it on your armpits and crotch area, it will kill the bacteria on the area and avoid making you smell even if you sweat.

I'd look into diet in that case. There are some really weird conditions that may cause you to emit a 'fishy' sort of smell but I am doubtful that is what you have. Of course genetics plays a role but look into fixing your diet.

unfortunately I don't think neither smell like the ocean but they are good options nonetheless

I mean yeah, but that's more like a "neutral" smell more than anything else, it's plain, boring. Look the fragrance industry isn't worth who knows how many trillion dollars for no reason, people have been using things to enhance the way they smell since Ancient Egypt, if you don't want to use a fragrance IT'S FINE, you don't need to justify your choice.

But it is not true that "women prefer the natural musk" lol, factually wrong and many men can validate that experience. The same happens the other way around, a woman simply is more attractive when she smells pleasant.

thats why people say to use moisturizer first (or just put it on your clothes even though it wont project that well)
but realistically cologne isnt needed at all cause smelling like nothing is safer than having a scent people dont like
