L'OCCITANE Solid Stick Aluminum Free Deodorant: Reduce Body Odor, Alcohol-Free, Dries Quickly, Made in France, Fresh Cyper and Lavender Scent, Woody Aroma, Refreshing Verbena

(*Update: A few weeks after daily use I noticed that the deodorant was changing my skin color. I assume this was the result of skin irritation from one or more of the ingredients. There was no pain or redness, just an unpleasant browning of the skin. After three days of no use it went away, but returned upon reapplication. So I've had to discontinue use. I assume this is an uncommon response as my skin is sensitive.)This is a great deodorant for those who are picky on texture, color, scent, and sensitivity. I've used a natural odeo deodorant for half a decade now, but lately its formula has failed to withstand regular exercise. I've looked for an alternative but my preferences are either a light masculine scent or no scent at all and I much prefer a deodorant that won't matte down underarm hair or leave sticky residue. Odeo was a scentless water based spray which was great. This deodorant, while it is a roll on scented stick, meets all my needs. The roll on is smooth, clear, and doesn't matte down underarm hair. The scent is masculine but subdued and doesn't fight my cologne (Monte Blanc Explorer). It actually compliments it well even though they are not equal scents. The scent is just a simple male scent. It does not lean young or old and is neither obnoxious or underwhelming. I can't quite express what it is, but suffice it to say it's all it needs to be as a deodorant, and that's enough for me. I've had no irritation and though I am new to using it, no regrets. I feel it is a good value for the product and will continue using it.

I have been using this deodorant for several years now and I will never need another one. First of all it's a high quality product in it's make up and it's packaging. Alcohol free. Totally effective. It is not an anti-perspirant, which is a good thing. Personally I do not like anti-perspirants, they don't really work anyhow and it's just more chemicals absorbing into your body that you don't need.The smell of this is wood-like but not musky, almost sweet and caramel-esque too. But subtle, not abrasive or over the top. I receive compliments on it very often. Here is the wrinkle for most people I imagine, the $20 price tag. But let me point out something that not only justifies the price, but makes total sense of it.The stick lasts a long time. At least 6 weeks with daily use. So let's say $20 every 6 weeks for deodorant, ok, still a lot. But breaking down what I was spending on all natural sticks like Tom's of Maine, which are $7.99 each but last only a couple of weeks, in 6 weeks time I would go thru 3 sticks of the Tom's for a 6 week total of $22.97. $3 more than the one stick of Tom's that lasts the same amount of time. Plus this stuff works all day. With the Tom's I would have to reapply throughout the day as it just isn't that quality.So it is actually cheaper to get this than other sticks.But mostly I love the smell, it's perfectly subtle and rich at the same time. Earthy.Pretty great stuff.However, their Cidre is terrible. It smells like a high school locker room. Like axe body spray or something. I can't stand it. Stick to this one.

Summary: It smells good, and seems to last an entire year with daily use. Buy it.Expanded:You do not need to apply daily simply due to it being healthy. It smells good and will factory reset your pores. I went from Arm and Hammer (a good brand) to this. This is just better smelling so I like it. For $20? 0.06 cents a day for quality.I am buying this 1 month before my last purchase date (June 1st of 2024). The bare is almost done, but will last the one more month.It WILL last a year.

Great deodorant that doesnt smell so strong. No one is going to get choked up with this one, i can barely smell it on me. Id have to sniff my shirt to even smell it. Woody smell with hints of like pine needles i would say. Lighter scent of like black ice if you've ever bought that for your car

If you value natural ingredients (aluminum and alcohol free) in your deodorant and don’t mind splurging for something a little fancy, I’d recommend this deodorant. I’m going to breakdown some aspects of it for you to make your choice.Packaging: Premium appearance, looks nice on the shelf of my medicine cabinet as I’m getting ready in the day.Scent: Alluring spice and wood scent, if these speak to you, I highly recommend trying on this reason alone. It’s not overbearing at all, extremely subtle.Performance: Does well for the most part, you can get 8-10 hours if you are keeping your day light, but if you are out longer or doing rigorous exercise you may need to reapply.All in all, a pleasant deodorant that id recommend, performance is not the best, but it’s not bad either, solid. Ticks my boxes for being a premium product that utilizes natural ingredients. Going to look in pursuing the rest of the line (fragrance and body wash)

I’ve been an old spice guy for 20+ years and got this deodorant as a gift. I’m pretty sure I’m never going back to old spice. The scent is just right and I stay dry for the whole day. I’m ok with the price tag, as to me it’s WELL worth it.

I really wish this deodorant worked for me because the scent is outstanding, and it rolls on so smooth.Problem is it doesn’t last very long, at least on me. Only use if I’m going out at night for a few hours, but can’t chance it for a full work day in the south Florida heat.I gave it 4 stars because it seems to work well for most people based on the reviews, and in every other way it’s a great product.

My favorite deodorant! Love this smell. I’m also very sensitive to other deodorants, but not this one. I use it everyday.
