This week on Uncensored, we’re diving nose-first into the world of scent, from newborn heads and fireplace smoke to… whole-body deodorant.

We kick off with a chat about things that smell good but aren’t perfume before getting into the week’s Cringey Convo: the rise of whole-body deodorant. Are we over-sanitising ourselves? Or just chasing freshness a little too far?

Then, we sit down with Dr Chris Callewaert — better known as Dr Armpit — one of the world’s leading odour researchers, to unpack:

What actually causes body odour (hint: it’s your bacteria’s fault)
Why some people smell stronger than others
What happens to our natural scent after pregnancy
And whether deodorant is secretly messing with your microbiome

Plus, we share our favourite products for staying fresh without smelling like Lynx Africa — from gentle feminine washes and gel deodorants to bougie room sprays and minty mouthwash that actually works.
