Nope. Doesn't work for me. Covering up the odor isn't the same as washing it off. Easy to accomplish for the body (rinse or shower) - not so easy for the clothing (laundry). Once the odor is in the fabric, there it is. All day. And when I say I sweat, I saturate my riding clothes. Dripping wet. Not cool to have soaking wet khackis and oxfords/"golf" shirts.

For me, it is just bettter to have clean clothes to wear at the office and exercise clothes for the ride.
