Most "odor" products work by masking: they cover one smell with a stronger one. Deodorant sprays, body sprays, perfume, and scented body washes all do this.
Masking is like spraying air freshener over a full trash can. It smells nice for a while, but the trash is still there. Once the fragrance fades, you're back where you started, or worse, because now it's trash plus air freshener.
The alternative is to neutralize the odor instead of covering it.
In Japan, where age-related odor has had its own name (kareishū) for years, people have long turned to one ingredient for this: persimmon tannin.
Persimmon tannin, known in Japan as kakishibu, has been used there for centuries in dyeing, preserving, and deodorizing. It's a natural plant compound from the persimmon fruit that binds to odor molecules like nonenal, so they rinse away with the lather instead of clinging to your skin.
The result isn't a scent. It's the absence of one. You don't smell like perfume, and you don't smell like "old soap." You just smell like nothing, which is exactly what clean is supposed to smell like.
That's the idea behind Saiju Bloom Persimmon Soap.
It's a Japanese-inspired bar made with persimmon extract, designed to be used head to toe in the shower every day. Lather it on the places nonenal builds up (neck, behind the ears, chest, back, and underarms), let it sit for about 30 seconds, and rinse.
There's only gentle fragrance, not covering anything up. You get clean skin and a bar you'll actually look forward to using.
