I am only aware of one thing, Potassium Alum, https://www.razorus.com/alum-the-miracle-used-for-centuries Other than that, perfumes, herbs, or bathing. And remember, people smelled different than they do now. 300 years ago, Humans were not consuming all kinds of chemicals, preservatives and overly processed foods. You really do sweat what you consume. And, just like today, body odor is a genetic thing. Some people sweat less and stink less. And here is an article about how many Asians do not sweat, or sweat very little. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/east-asians-no-body-odor-dont-need-deodorant-rcna156778
