Body sprays primarily serve to mask odors temporarily, while antiperspirants tackle the root cause: sweat.
Interestingly, sweat itself is odorless. The unpleasant smells arise when sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin. Body sprays help minimize odors by preventing this interaction, offering a quick refresh.
Similar to colognes or perfumes, body sprays and mists are typically light and invigorating, making them suitable for application on both skin and clothing.
