I agree, especially for the mouth. But I have since discovered Eau de Toilette.
In the eighteenth century it was very popular to us a spritz of alcohol to kill bacteria. I am a great fan: One can make one's own - with vodka and DROPS of essential oil, or by steeping cinnamon/clove/staranise/allspice/rosemary/lavender in a jar, (shoutout for that excellent no-hangover moonshine). One could feasibly use a dropper, or an old-fashioned art-deco spritz bottle, to dispense the magic Medieval-Victorian scalp/armpit/weird fungus SOS juice.
But many EDT brands on the market will tell you the essential oils they are using, so there is a whole playground out there.
One relatively cheap bottle will easily last for ages. But, IDK, get several and experiment?
Citrus scents are really cleansing, but don't last long. That is actually a good thing, in the 'freshening up' scope of events. And I mean - the sterilizing effects last up to 24 hrs. Then one can tailor things in term of olfactory delights, like going for frankincence scents (power nineties) which work wonderfully. Actually, frankinsence powders are really good too, which is another subject.
Oh and avoid animal musks - cheap women's scnets like Charlie, and many male ones have it, and it turns into cat-piss/essence of gym. Usually a bit of research on an EDT forum will soon tell you if you are buying a little sunshine, or dark satanic mill stuff.
