Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother chewed me out for not wearing deodorant and smelling of B.O. I was wearing plenty of deodorant. My shirt just smelled like my boyfriend, whom I'd been cuddling with earlier. FML
Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML
Today, multiple customers have complained about my body odor. Not only can I not smell anything, but I shower three times a day and brush my teeth seven times a day. FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Today, my girlfriend showered ten times, used an entire tube of deodorant, and continued to stink. It’s been like this for the past week, despite it being cold outside. FML
Today, I found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML
Today, while applying deodorant, my mom came up behind me slapped the stick out of my hand, and confiscated it, saying, “No one needs deodorant when it’s this cold.” At work, I got so many complaints about my B.O that I was sent home to go take a shower. I shower every single day. FML
Today, I had to have a discussion with my 54-year-old mother about showering. She thinks it's perfectly OK to shower only once a week. FML
Today, I got into a screaming match with the mother of my kids. I told her they need to bathe more often. According to her, anything more than once a week is excessive and bad for their skin. My kids play sports and smell like puppies from the pound. She doesn’t care. FML

Can you introduce me to your mom?

It is a combination of diet, practice and genetics. Nothing you can do about the last, but like others pointed out your diet plays a lot here (also avoid vinegar). When you shower, you need to work on layers, Shrek. Deodorant soap and body wash (maybe even anti-bacterial on both) deordants and colognes as well as lotions if you use them. You can also see your Doctor for prescription strength soaps and deodorants. see if those can help

Also avoid garlic. It can really come out through your pores. Smoking and drinking (that is, if you’re old enough) should be avoided as well. And definitely talk to your doctor, they can check to see if there are hormonal imbalances causing extra odour/sebum production.

Is she talking about your odor or your personality?

I want to learn from your mom

The secret is rosewater. If she smells like roses, she probably uses it as a perfume. She might drink rose tea as well.

See your doctor.
