      flashbacks to high school where some of the boys smelled… bad… like skidmarks and not showering for 5 days mixed with half a can of Lynx Africa

      It’s both, it’s both.

        It can be both, but I’ve definitely been punched in the face by pure cologne/perfume on multiple occasions. Probably even more often than I’ve ever smelled BO equally as bad, including my own on those lazy stay at home days.

        Though I do try my best to not get within smelling range of others regardless, so maybe cologne just has a larger radius most of the time. I’m definitely not sniffing pits to see how their BO mixes with what ever extra rank they’ve added…
