Merino is wonderful and it never seems to stink. Except on sheep. Merino rams smell like arse.

Fresh sweat doesn't smell really

Well, depends on diet. If I eat full on Mediterranean, garlic odour exudes from ever pore, and my breath. And not "yum, pasta" garlic odour, but ... well, if you have smelt it, you know it.

No more than having a couple of agapanthas in matching pots each side of your front door.

Your grammar is appalling, by the way.

Prolly coz it was taught absolutely piss poor in secondary school until very recently. My Fench teacher was agog when I fessed up to not knowing what a past participle was......tried to explain that it had not been taught in English lessons, but she woz avin none of it and refused to inform us because 'we should know already'. Dozy old bag. Who's laughing now Mrs Robertson? Moi

It itches like crazy though if you sweat into it.

Not for me, and I am the original eczema kid. But yeah, if that happens for you, then avoid it.

I can't wear old school wool against my skin, but modern ultra fine merino, no problem.

Of course, I only "glow" not sweat so ....

I was told as a kid that only horses sweat! Men perspire and women glow ...

Mind you that was back in the 60's

tap tap tap .. is this thing on?

The first time I heard the quote you have bowdlerised here, it was in a comedy skit.

Horses sweat.
Men perspire.
Ladies glow.

In a sentence "Don't dance with me, dance with my friend. I'm glowing like a pig."

Note: Wow, I got to use bowdlerised is a sentence!

Half the joke is missing. Your character needs to come from a non-english speaking background and the assistant asks:

"Do you want ball or aerosol?"

"Neither, it's for my armpits"

Spoiler: this is usually a spoken joke

... so the question would be pronounced "ball or @rsehole"

In winter I wear a thin polyester vest next to my skin and a merino one over it. I probably smell. BTW, Helly Hansen merino/synthetic vests really take smelling to a higher level.

That's a different joke.

Keep doing what you are doing, but polyester is a stink magnet. You have my sympathies.

No it's not. "Ball deodorant" is borderline smile. "Ball and @rsehole deodorant" is actually funny.

I sweat like Cliff Richard when the doorbell rings.
