It's a vanity thing for definite but I use products that contain deodorants AND antiperspirants but I know people who only use a nice smelling spray, to begin with the effect is the same, but by the end of the day the smelly spray has worn off and the natural musk has come through.
Here is where my comments are probably going to get some backlash...not all natural body odour is nice! You will have probably noticed that your own smell changes depending on what you have eaten, or what you have been doing. Personally I know that if I have been somewhere uncomfortably hot and sticky I smell different to if I have been exercising. I am conscious of this and make the effort to apply a sufficient layer of whichever spray I am currently using so that I do not cause offence to the person who has to stand in the queue behind me later on.
Some people are not that considerate.
So here is my personal advice take it or leave it, Lynx and Impulse is very popular with the teen/preteen crowd, young energetic kids that don't stand still long enough to get stale. It's also popular with the club crowd but let's face it after a couple shots no-one is actually going to notice whether you smell better or worse than the 5 years of beer stains in the carpet. Adults in normal every day situations should not smell like teenagers. Invest in some Rightguard or Sure, then some fragrant EDT over the top.
