How to Smell Good All Day (Without Overdoing It)
About this video
Centeno teaches men how to smell good throughout the day by establishing proper hygiene routines, understanding fragrance application, and maintaining clean clothing and personal spaces. He covers showering practices, moisturizing, fragrance selection and application techniques, laundry care, oral hygiene, and managing odor in shoes and bedding.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that scent is primal and directly influences perception, citing research showing people view individuals with pleasant scents as more competent, attractive, and trustworthy
- Centeno recommends daily showering with mild unscented soap, followed by moisturizer, and applying fragrance to skin rather than clothing to avoid scent overlap and understand each fragrance’s projection strength
- Centeno advises rotating shoes with cedar shoe trees, changing pillowcases twice weekly, washing sheets weekly, and changing towels every two to three uses to prevent bacterial odor growth
- Centeno emphasizes using undershirts to protect outer clothing from sweat and body odor, and recommends specialty laundry products and spot-cleaning for delicate items like wool sweaters
