Review (5/5): Effective aluminum free deodorant, pleasant scent
I actually really love this deodorant for it’s effectiveness and price point. I bought Aesop for about a year and LOVED it - but I am cheap and I don’t want to shell out $35 for a tiny spray bottle. (If you can afford it, it’s SO worth it.) ive been trying cheaper alternatives since the pandemic (working from home means I get less stress sweats and also, who is going to know if I smell on zoom?) Ive tried some alcohol based brands and also made my own. This formula is my favorite so far. The bergamot and elemi scent is pleasant, and it works well for an aluminum free formula. If you’re used to anti-perspirants, you have to adjust your expectations and maybe carry a bottle with you because you may need to reapply mid-day. I sweat a lot and this works fine for me. (Granted, I’ve also gotten comfortable with sweaty smell - if I’ve showered and applied deodorant in the morning, if I’ve only worked up an athletic sweat I don’t even notice a smell anymore, perhaps a result of several years of not wearing anti-perspirant.) work sweat is a different animal entirely.
The best part of this deodorant is the fact that it doesn’t burn after I shave my armpits and cause a rash.
