    Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.

    I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

      Now I really want to make Piperonal since it apparently smells really good. I just lack money, equipment and skill.

      Also I don’t know how legal that would be since it could be used as a MDMA precursor and even if it’s legal I don’t really want to get the house of my parents raided.

      I’m a generally masculine-presenting cis guy and I’ve never liked cologney smells. My favorite deodorant all my adult life has been one from the women’s section that has a picture of cucumbers on it. The scent is subtle, not overwhelmingly chemical or perfumey, it keeps the B.O. at bay, and nobody really notices it but me.
