As we all know, deodorant is a substance we use to mask our more foul bodily smells. So why do deodorant companies feel the need to add some sort of a stupid smell to deodorants or perfumes?
Since I'm male, I didn't really get much of the bad side of this. That is, until I first entered the world of P.E. locker rooms. The men's deodorant/cologne brand known as Axe was and is popular, much to my dismay. Puerile children just go around the locker room spraying these noxious fumes, whether to make themselves think they're cool or to generally annoy everyone, I'm not quite sure (I suspect the latter). I don't know what genius thought of the idea of sprayable deodorant, but they should've thought of the repercussions before they released these products to the public.
Calling something with scent a deodorant is a false statement. It's not really a true deodorant because rather than actually eliminating smell, it simply masks that smell with other, "more pleasanter" smells. Which is fine if you're into smelling like fake fruit all day, but I can't say that I am.
