The best way to smell good is to know your body.

Understanding how you react to different scents and wash


routines is a surefire way to ensure 24/7 crispness. Perfume is another classic solution. For centuries, people
rich and poor have used different kinds of fragrances and scented oils to freshen up. With so many options on
the market today, it’s essential to know what will work and what won’t with your natural body oils. However,
there are other ways to ensure you smell great, whether you have perfume around or not. Here are our 18 tips
for how to smell good all day.

1. Drink Plenty of Water

If there’s one thing you can do to keep smelling good, it’s to drink water. Truly the elixir of life, H2O
keeps your body running normally. As it relates to helping you smell good, water dilutes scents that
may be a little unpleasant — like garlic, onions and coffee breath. We recommend drinking at least 96
fluid ounces per day -— three Nalgene bottles worth.

2. Spritz in the Closet

If you want to establish your scent and make it stick, hit your closet with a couple sprays of your go-to
fragrance once a week. Depending on the desired strength of your scent, you’ll want to be cognizant
of how close to a rack of clothes your spray stream is — the closer and more direct, the stronger the
scent.

This method gives you a lasting signature scent that isn’t overpowering, making it possible to mix and
match with other perfumes to give yourself irresistible allure.

3. Store a Scented Sachet in Your Underwear Drawer

To keep your whole body smelling great, keep a perfume sachet where you store your underwear.
Similar to how spraying a closet gives you a subtle yet signature scent, a sachet in your undies drawer
ensures a pleasant undertone of fragrance.
The method works especially well on athletic compression shorts and bras, which naturally take on a
perpetual scent over time, during and after a workout.

4. Perfume Your Hairbrush

Spray your hairbrush with perfume, not your hair! Contrary to tradition, spraying hair directly with
perfume can damage roots and wither fresh locks. Instead, apply your chosen scent onto a brush – this
helps to dissipate the perfume, lower the concentration of the scent and soften the chemical impact
while creating a subtle, pleasant trail of
scent.

5. Spray Your Bare Torso with Fragrance

An unusual yet effective place to spray perfume is on the torso. This method works best if you desire
a subtle scent throughout the day. Since this area also sits lower than nose height, it causes the given
smell to have a pleasant all-around aura rather than an “in-your-face” effect. It’s ok to be a little more
liberal with the amount here — your clothes will not only cover the scent up, but also help dissipate
the fragrance through contact.
