Xmas is a great time to stock up on cologne free samples.

I think cologne is overrated, and far too frequently overdone. (I'm looking mainly at teenagers who bathe in Axe, but it goes beyond, too.) Done right, your missus should be the only one getting close enough to smell your scent.

Definitely wear deoderant, though.

Not necessarily. Some people really don't need it. It entirely depends on your body's biome. Bacteria are the culprits behind body odor -- pure sweat doesn't smell like much at all. There are some people who's bacteria don't emit noxious fumes, and for whom a daily wash is all that's needed to smell just fine.

Might be worth experimenting over the course of a weekend, and maybe extend that by a week.
