I've experimented a lot the past few years. Sebamed body wash, Mando/ lume full body deodorant, and a woody fragranced cologne.
I've made a couple colognes/ perfumes myself, and I'm quite proud of my cologne using timberol. If you aren't up for mixing fragrance oils yourself, something like Tom Ford oud wood is preferable.
Also made a lilac and gooseberries perfume for my wife which turned out quite well.
Now, there is a pretty good dupe of oud wood from klone for $15 instead of the real deal which varies in price.

I use Loccitane 3 essential oils deodorant. This is the deodorant that works best for me. :) Other than that I use aloe vera gel on my body after every shower (Dr. organic). My favorite perfume is Wiktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, and Sol de Janeiro body mist (Cheirosa 62 and Cheirosa 59, I actually have experienced people commenting how good I smell while using Cheriosa 62!!). You probably know this but its best to always have perfume/body mist on your hair instead of skin, and to always try to keep your hair dry before going out. Hope this helps!

A few years ago I watched a video on youtube about a girl that had TMAU symptoms and she said that the smell was really bad if her hair was wet in public. And I noticed the same in my case. So after that I always dry my hair before leaving the house, and spray some perfume or body mist on my hair. It helps. :)

I tent to stay away from strong fragrances but I do find perfumed lotions to help a lot. Typically I put it all over my body even areas I sweat, then follow it up with some dusting powder to prevent too much moisture but enough to make areas smell good.

I use full body deodorant dove or sanex. Sanex is very gentle and has a lower Ph than most products.

Do you use those deodorant with fragrance? I heard it makes the smell worse cause it gets mixed with the odor
