Being scent is a large portion of my hygene. It is not only the appearance, but the feeling of being clean and clean feeling. Someone who smells good is someone that takes the time for themselves and has respect for other people. Unfortunately not everyone thinks about that or even cares, and a lot of the time I'm around people who do not smell too good. Be it body odor or breath, those are always awkward moments for me.

I am not comfortable standing next to somebody who stinks. I don't want them to be offended though because I know that that is a troublesome thing to bring up. For example, if one of my friends has bad breath or body odor, and they are talking to me, I will simply look for a way to move away from them, without being too rude. Like for instance when I say that I have to go do something or when I say that I have to step away for a little while. The reason I do it is because I don't them to feel bad or embarrassed. I would never want to hurt someone’s feelings over something like this, but at the same time, it’s hard to ignore when I’m close to them.
Like the time I had to sit next to someone with an extreme odor problem in a long meeting. I felt trapped because I couldn’t just walk out. I had to breathe as softly as I could and try to think about anything else. Moments like these make me realize how important it is to keep myself smelling fresh.
As far as my hygene is concerned, I take a bath, and I clean myself. I know that body odor can develop if we’re not careful, so I pay attention to keeping myself fresh. I am not a big wearer of perfumes or sprays, but I do wear deodorant, and that is a whole new world. I'm accustomed to mostly wearing deodorant and even that's not an all the time thing. A little goes a long way with me, and I know that I smell clean and fresh.
I wear body spray or real light perfume sometime, usually when I have something important going on or I'm going to be in a crowd of people. In a sense I think smelling good is just a sign of respect for others. I would like to make others feel at ease when they are around me, as I would like to feel at ease around others.
At last I think that smelling good is a very small aspect of personal hygiene that goes along way. It’s not about being fancy; it’s about cleanliness and showing respect for myself and those around me. Hopefully other people will take it seriously because it has to do with all of the people that surround us. But ill still do my best to stay fresh and nice no matter if I meet those who aren't that way. It's just a small thing that makes everyone's life a little easier.

Although smelling good doesn't cost a fortune, but it's only unfortunate how so people don't take it serious with even with the cheapest perfume.
Honestly. You understand, there are also those who feel they don't need and some who don't know they need it till they are told.
Dealing with bad odor can be a challenge, unfortunately some people don't even know that they smells bad.. depending on our relationship, I can politely tell someone that he or she can get some body care products for a nice cent...with that the person can understand or get angry..lol
Overall, good cent gives us confidence
Your relationship with a person determines if you can tell the person or not. There are some people I'm close to but to tell them to get deodorant is kind of difficult because I don't know how I'll put it for them to understand and not get angry.
