No. DS just started wanting to wear it and he's 14. No kid in elem school needs cologne.

The stench is the sweaty smell from kids.

Have to hold him down to put deodorant on him.

No. We would never allow that.

Truly nauseating. It’s bad enough even when there’s a hint of it but some of these boys seem to bathe in it.

Gag. Please don’t allow this.

No. I spend a lot of time with groups of 9/10 yr old boys coaching an academic competition (indoor practices in a confined room) and leading Cub scouts activities. I can thankfully say that I have not yet noticed Axe / body spray smells OR body odor.

Farts and stinky feet, yes. Teen boy smell, no.

Is this a serious question? No. Our boys just started using kid's underarm deodorant at around 10yo.

FWIW our 9yo daughter has some perfume that my wife had let her put on a few times for fun/play, but she doesn't own or use any regularly.

Please no. Just stick with deodorant. (Speaking as someone who has taught for years)

No
