Just to set the record straight, if you’re gonna spray perfume to mask the scent of your sweat, please just shower.

Okay, now that that’s out of the way let’s discuss the endless dilemma of if you should use perfumes for the gym or not.
Some people strongly disagree, others agree. But the reality is that everything is not so black and white. There is a lot of gray area in this particular subject.
Some of the arguments against wearing a fragrance are that:
- It’s too strong
- The strong smell will bother other people at the gym
- The scent intensifies as you work out and sweat
- Sweat mixed with perfume is not that good of an idea
And the arguments towards wearing a fragrance to the gym are:
- People like to smell good even at the gym
- Makes them more confident, less self conscious and feel better overall
So from all of those arguments and after hearing a lot of people’s thoughts and opinions, we decided that it varies from person to person.
If you decide to wear something to the gym, we recommend using a refreshing, citrus, aquatic or light floral scent. This will help to keep you feeling fresh during your workout and it’s not too overpowering to the point where people around you are getting annoyed by the strong scent.
Try not to use anything too sweet, musky or overall strong since like mentioned above, it will intensify during your workout and become too muscular (pun intended).
So if you do wear perfume to work out try to keep it around 2 sprays max. This will be more than enough for the sesh.
