I keep seeing in this thread about the too much concern, yet I have very rarely run into the problem. I have on the other hand run into the B.O. problem with much higher regularity. It seems to me based on my experiences that people are worried about the wrong things.

Exactly, after I started wearing fragrance I just felt naked without it. Yet wearing it feels more than just clothed, I feel well prepared to meet the world head on.
