If being normal is your concern, then you are not alone - many people feel they do not require any fragrance-enhacing chemicals to make it through their day. Indeed, deodorant is no substitute for actually being clean in the first place. If, however, you are worried that you mightn't be smelling as nice as you could, there are various mild deodorants available, as well as scented soaps, shampoos and shower gels if you prefer to avoid deodorant.

I'm the same. Deodorant causes me to itch under my arms, and I don't like after shave. Plenty of soap and water first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Luckily I do not sweat much under the arms.

Perfectly! I have skin reactions to alot of things so if I want to use perfume etc, I tend to use body spray but on my clothes, not the skin. Also there are plenty of wonderful smelling bath/shower products about as NetSquirrel said.

you are normal as long you wash twice a day to keep smells at bay. I dont use aftershave either ... but then I am a woman, so I would be odd if I did, unless I to have to shave facial hair rofl!!!!

I wear perfume but I use a Thai deodorant stone rather than anything smelly. It deodorises but isn't an antiperspirant and doesn't contain any nasties like lead or aluminium. I think your body gets used to whatever you throw at it - if you use antiperspirant then your body compensates by 'over-sweating' to keep you cool. As for smell, as long as you're clean then I'm sure you don't!
