What is the best way to smell good after eating lunch?
I smell pretty fresh... until I eat lunch. Every time after I eat lunch in school, I think I smell like food, and I hate it. How can I solve this? Also, I'd like some tips on how to stay fresh the whole entire day. Thank you for all of your answers. Also... I have these two Adidas colognes, "Pulse" and "Force."
