A quick (and totally discreet) way to tell if your deodorant wore off

As summer rolls around, it's pretty normal to walk into a room and get a whiff of B.O. And no matter your level of hygiene, we assure you, not a single soul is completely immune to it. So how do you know if the stench is coming from you or one of your neighbors?

Quickly sniff a cup of coffee. It's the ultimate palate cleanser and resets your olfactory system (which is why you frequently see coffee beans in the fragrance aisle at Sephora).

OK, now (discreetly) give your underarms a sniff. You should know in two seconds whether the offending smell is coming from you or someone else.
