I still sweat, too, Gaisy59. How much is really dependent on activity levels or heat levels in the absence of climate control. Has it diminished in any way? I cannot truly be sure of that. There are just too many variables at play.
As to being able to determine how much I smell, well I have to say that's totally a subjective assessment. I don't think I can be a completely reliable source to say my sweat doesn't stink as much as before. To me it's just too subjective. It seems to me that it's true, but there are so many variable contributing factors that contribute to the odor of sweat, including dietary intake changes, activity level changes, stress level changes, etc. So, I don't feel well qualified to say without a doubt, this is the end-all and be-all of deodorant. But I'm really pretty happy with it and do believe on a personal level it's working very well for me. And when I add the DB fragrance, I absolutely love it for staying power as a fragrance.
BTW, SoaperForLife, I do regularly go some days without deo. My lifestyle doesn't require me to work with other people on a daily basis. Sometimes my activity level is so minimal, I don't even notice myself sweat at all, so don't feel a need to wear deo on some days. If I go out, I do wear it. After a shower, I usually put it on, but when I am at home I do not shower daily; even on the road, I don't always shower daily. Now and then I may feel a need to shower twice in a day and those are days I tend to re-apply deo twice in one day (heat & activity related). But in spite of that, I can't really report on what happens when I go without deo because I've been like this for many years, even when I wore commercially made deo. Days without deo have always been a normal part of my life, except when I worked 60 hours a week, which I did for many years, but even then, I think I didn't always wear it on my days off work. But as to what happens differently than on days with deo? I don't really see anything different. If there is anything different, I have become so used to it, I don't notice.
