You know I thought about this just now and came back to comment on its possible relation to diet, curry or garlic are both big time offenders, only to see that you'd drawn the same idea. You are what you eat you know.It may also have to do with a South Asian diet...which is high in things like onions ginger garlic.... It is occasional but I do get tired of it and have to apply deodorant/shower daily. Sometimes I forget to
Excellent points.Another thing to consider is that many deodorants use a base of fatty alcohols like stearyl alcohol or saponified fatty acids like sodium stearate to help the deodorant "cling" to your armpit a deliver the active ingredients that help prevent "body odor" but when those active ingredients wear off and you begin to sweat then those "inactive" ingredients like the fatty alcohols and saponified fatty acids are still there clinging to the hair and your armpits and the sweat then clings to them delivering a not-so-wonderful-smell of sweat! If you wash with soap then you may get some of the "inactive ingredients" to come off but it would be better to use a face cloth on your armpits and wash until they are "squeaky clean" and all of those ingredients and the scent has been removed! This would be my suggestion!
