Did you know that Romans used a type of ancient deodorant?

They would often apply a mixture of perfumed oils and spices to their bodies to mask body odor. Additionally, wealthy Romans sometimes used a sponge on a stick called a “strigil” to scrape off dirt and sweat before applying the scented oils.

Now, how does this come to my mind?!
Well, I just made a short trip on a bus yesterday and I got reminded how smelly people are.
