Daily Fragrance vs. Antiperspirants | Inspiration

Everybody sweats: it’s a simple fact of life. The real problem comes when ordinary sweat becomes extraordinary body odour. Smelling less than fresh can get in the way of your confidence, whether you’re on a date, at a job interview or just hanging with friends.

The key to keeping body odour and sweat under control is finding the best deodorant or antiperspirant for you. Maybe topping it off with a few sprays of daily fragrance. If you’re feeling fancy.

Since Sweat 101 isn’t a mandatory course and you’ve had more important things on your mind than the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant, we’ve done the leg work for you.

Read on for a breakdown on sweat and how to combat it so you can stay fresh all day long.

What Makes Sweat Smell?

To understand the benefits of deodorant and antiperspirant, you’ve got to get to grips with sweat and body odour first. Your body actually produces two types of sweat.

First, you’ve got the sweat that comes from your eccrine glands, which keeps you cool by secreting water and salt. This type of sweat doesn't smell bad at all.

You also have the sweat that comes from apocrine glands. This type of sweat leaves deposits of fat and protein on your body. Mix these with the bacteria on your skin and boom: body odour hits.

Deodorant Helps You Smell Fresh

If your main concern is odour, deodorants help stop sweat from smelling. Deodorants work by targeting the bacteria on your underarm skin that make your sweat smell in the first place. Most deodorants are also scented, providing an added defense against odour. AXE Phoenix Deodorant Stick gives you 48-hours of high-definition scent of crushed mint and rosemary, so you can smell like an irresistible summer drink all day long.

Antiperspirant Helps You Stay Dry

Like the name implies, antiperspirants keep you from sweating. They work by covering your sweat glands to reduce the amount of sweat on skin that generates odour. If you’re worried about wet patches from sweat on your clothes, this is the thing for you. It doesn’t hurt that antiperspirants also offer the added protection of fresh scent to combat odour. AXE Phoenix Antiperspirant Stick gives you 48-hour anti-sweat protection plus the revitalizing scent of crushed mint and energizing rosemary keep you fresh way past bedtime.

Daily Fragrance Makes You Smell Fly

Daily fragrance is applied to the chest and adds that extra bit of scent to make a lasting impression. After all, senses and memory are closely linked thanks to how close the olfactory system (sense of smell) is to the memory hub in the brain.

Now you’ve got the facts. Wear a deodorant or an antiperspirant together with a complementary daily fragrance like AXE Phoenix Body Spray every day to help you keep dry and smell great.
