Sometimes, life calls for throwing your hands in the air like you just don't care — but when you've got B.O., you really, really care. Living your life with your armpits sealed is no way to live, so we enlisted a pro to give us shopping tips. Is there one smell that can banish B.O.?
"If you're feeling sweaty, very light, aquatic, and airy scents will give you a sense of freshness," said Rachel ten Brink, fragrance expert and founder of Scentbird. "Those can make you smell a lot better, especially if you layer with an anti-perspirant."
In honour of confidently raising the roof on the dance floor of all your Summer weddings, keep reading to cop our nine favourite watery scents.
Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day
Even if your middle school viewing of Titanic left you afraid of getting near a boat, you'll like Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day ($126) a yacht. The unisex perfume has notes of aquatic accord, salty coriander, and red seaweed, because as Sebastian the Crab says: "Darling, it's better down where it's wetter."
Commodity Rain
Getting caught in a downpour sure isn't fun, but the drizzle-inspired Commodity Rain ($105) sure is. It's made with water musk, lotus blossom, and lemon, so it will remind you of shower-soaked flowers.
Nest Fragrances Wisteria Blue
The Nest Fragrances Wisteria Blue ($72) was inspired by the career of Mary Delany, an 18th-century British artist who found late-in-life success with her floral paintings. As the name implies, wisteria, rose, and jasmine are heavy notes in this fruity fragrance, but it's also packed with water to keep things light. It's perfect for those days you don't want everyone and their Uber driver to know you're wearing perfume, but you've got to cover up a stench, STAT.
Pinrose Sun Saint
Get sexy with this coconut and ocean breeze-infused Pinrose Sun Saint ($65). You'll want to wear it — and nothing else — to a private beach.
Flower Cosmetics Flower Turquoise
Drew Barrymore's beauty brand came through with its Flower Cosmetics Flower Turquoise ($20), which will not only mask your B.O., but also leave you feeling like a seductive Old Hollywood siren. It's packed with blue lotus, honeydew blossom, and figwood, so it's both refreshing and weighty.
Bobbi Brown Beach Eau de Parfum
Much like Summer, PTO doesn't last forever. If you've used up your last holiday day, then Bobbi Brown Beach Eau de Parfum ($78) will bring the Hamptons to your cubicle. It's packed with sand jasmine, sea spray, and coral honeysuckle — and pairs perfectly with a (safe!) tan.
Tilly Perfume Oil
This Rosie Jane Tilly Perfume Oil ($40) is made with a blend of coconut and essential oil, plus grapefruit, pineapple, and gardenia. That means it's vegan, cruelty-, paraben-, and phthalate-free. Swipe it on and nail that Australian-model-off-duty vibe — just add sunscreen.
Fresh Life
You know that feeling when you're poolside, and you take one last evening dip before dinner? This Fresh Life ($50) is that Summer feeling in a bottle. It's made with lilac, cucumber, morning dew, and tonka flowers, so it's damp, invigorating, and the embodiment of a hot pink sunset.
Tory Burch Vek Azur Eau de Parfum
What, you don't jet off to the French Riveria on your Summer Fridays? Yeah, neither do we. Luckily, this Tory Burch Nuit Azur Eau de Parfum ($126) is the next best thing — notes of neroli, bergamot, and cedarwood keep us satiated with this crisp, bright fragrance.
