The Scent of Civilization, A History of Deodorant

Description

Why do we go to such lengths to smell good? In this episode of Info On The Go, we roll back the (sometimes fragrant, sometimes funky) history of deodorant — from sacred rituals in ancient temples to the science labs behind today’s slick sprays and roll-ons.

But this isn’t just about BO. It’s about biology, identity, and billion-dollar branding. Discover how body odor became a social crisis, how marketing shaped our insecurities, and how different cultures sniff out the “right” way to smell.

We’ll explore sweat science, tackle persistent myths, dig into ingredient labels, and peek at the future of underarm innovation — from probiotics to plastic-free packaging.

So raise your arms and your curiosity — the truth about deodorant is anything but dry.

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
Kat & William
