A relative works in the perfume industry, meaning that for Christmas/birthday, I often get a nice perfume that she could buy with her employee discount.

An issue, is that as a person who has facial hair, I shave regularly, and most after shave balm/lotion are scented. They don’t even smell that good, but mixing a nice perfume with an after-shave seems like a major faux pas as the smell will interact with each others, meaning that I don’t use my perfume as much as I wanted

    I have this problem with a LOT of products: Dry shampoo, beard butter, bars of soap, liquid soap, etc. I will probably be OK with a little scent on things but it is almost always actually an overwhelming amount of scent. So I will go out of my way now to get unscented things like this. Often this means I have to find it on the internet because they don’t sell the unscented stuff in stores.

    Sometimes I want to smell better and that’s why I have cologne. I’d like to choose my scent and not wear many scents at once.
