Bad BO? BO plus strong body spray is much worse – and highlights the fact that there is smell to cover up.
Stank up the bathroom? Lighting a scented candle over top of it just makes me want to barf.
Strong lingering cooking odors? Spraying air freshener over top of it is nauseating.
Overwhelming your olfaction by assaulting it with multiple strong odors will always be worse than just smelling the bad smell.

Both are horrible. Find the source of the bad smell and get rid of it.
I’ve always thought that too. Some air fresheners heighten it. Idk what some of y’all be eating 🤢
Spraying fruit over the smell of shit just leaves you with shitris
I just said this weekend that I’m not buying lavender scented garbage bags for poopy diapers because it just ends up smelling like poopy lavender.Â
I get sick with too much scented stuff, sneezing and headaches for example, and it’s one of the reasons I can’t leave the house without a mask. And it’s winter here so people just go heavy on the scents of death. I agree with you.
The key is to clean your armpits and not just put deodorant to mask the smell. Most people don’t do this nor do they scrub their armpits. Very odd
Open the fuckin window
Only if the good smell doesn’t eliminate the bad one. If it’s covering it up and you can smell the bad with the good that’s not better
This reminds of highschool, when boys thought emptying a bottle of axe body spray, was as good as showering and would attract girls, it didn’t
Yeah, exactly! If you stink, take a shower. If your breath stinks, brush your teeth and use mouthwash. Don’t cover it up with fruity odors.
Bad breath and body odor totally gross me out. I keep my distance from most people because of that.
But masking someone else’s bad smell with your own is always better. Like when my son farts, I fart over it and it’s immediately much more comfortable.
Totally agree. Instead of air freshener people should actually clean the toilet after themselves and also watch their diets. The air freshener always stinks and reminds me of all the dirty particles in the air which are being masked but inhaled. Also we need better ventilation instead of these half baked solutions
I’ve found that burning incense after a crap neutralizes the stench instead of just covering it up
god my mom wouldn’t shower for months at a time, just smell like shit blood and feet, and some god awful body oil she’d buy called onya that still gives me the chills when i smell a random old lady walk by with it still to this day. please wash your ass, no amount of body oil going onto literal caked on shit is going to smell nice
Seriously. My dad would just stink up the bathroom through some ungodly power. When it’s on vacation, you leave the fan on to take care of the funk in a few minutes but at home, he’d spray an air freshner and that would linger for an hour.
