In a hot and humid country like ours, the one factor which remains constant through a major part of the year is heat and sweat. One of the sad outcomes of such weather conditions is body odour. In the olden times, it was a standard practice among people, in regions of India where water was never in shortage, to have a bath twice or some times, even thrice a day. Among the rich and famous of the past, the use of attar was a given.
With the coming of modernity, the use of talcum powder became a standard practice to wade away unpleasant smell. The use of perfumes is barely a 100 year old tradition in India. The West has had a more sophisticated experience with the fragrance industry - apart from perfumes (France has a reputation here), one can also find deodorants and roll-ons. Less fancy than perfumes but just as effective. Many of us may not be aware of the difference between a perfume and deodorant - so here's a simple explainer. Both perfume and a deo have a good smell and meant to mask odour, while the former is more about fragrance which gives a sense of wellbeing, a deo is meant more to balance or prevent body odour.
We have curated a list of some of good deos and roll-ons from Amazon which you will find useful.
