I'd prefer not to have any smell, but that is apparently really hard to do.

And why do all products for men have to look like I'm cosplaying a sci-fi tactical commando?

Same reason "gamer" PC peripherals all look like Gigatron's nut sack.

I assume having no smell is really hard to do and to cover up the slight chemical smell they put a stronger smell over it. That being said I am definitely not a deodorant taste tester so 🤷‍♀️

... this makes me slightly suspicious that you are, in fact, a deodorant taste tester.

I have persistent skin issues (psoriasis) and most specialized products are unscented.

This may be the singular upside to this situation ^^`

You are not alone. I have bad eczema and my wife has psoriasis as well and all of our care products are mostly scent free. At this point I think I’d rather not smell like sandalteakvanilla beach wood lol

I also prefer to have no smell, speed stick makes a unscented deodorant and I have a scentless body wash, havent found a good shampoo yet though. Just using head and shoulders.

I found that out when I had an allergy skin patch test and found out one of the things I'm sensitive too is fragrance. The most important thing was finding a hair dye that I'm not allergic too but after 10 years, I'm starting to get a little itchy when I get my hair done.
