Please, please, please. Put on deodorant.

Let’s be honest, you can have the crispest outfit and a flawless skincare routine, but no one is going to compliment your youthfulness if you’re known as the guy who smells like a locker room (no, really). A solid deodorant (which kills odour-causing bacteria) or antiperspirant (which keeps sweat at bay) is the absolute foundation of your routine. Everything else is secondary. To help you find your new go-to scent, here are 10 of the best men’s deodorant on the market right now.
