deodorant /Re: baking soda and aluminum

<<I've yet to find a natural deodorant that reduces the stink to a level

that is undetectable or at least unnoticeable by my fiance...and so my

search continues. >>

As anyone in a romantic relationship will tell you, the Other's personal

smell rapidly becomes just their aroma, an identifier, and even (as

natures intended it) an arouser. Its not supposed to be undetectable or

unnoticeable by our beloved.

IMO, people often forget how important personal aromas are. Did you know

that most mothers can pick out their own children's worn tee shirts by

smelling them?

I understand all the theories about maintaining personal space by

blanking off body aroma with perfumes and deodorant etc etc, but surely

a relationship is two personal spaces that sometimes intedrmingle - if

your fiance can't come to terms with your own natural aromas, I think

that I would be looking for a new fiance!
