Oars + Alps Aluminum Free Men's Deodorant, Clear + No Residue, 2pk, 2.6oz

I like this product a lot. I always look for no stain type of deodorant. This works great and leaves no marks. A little goes a long way. The scent is nice and mild

So far so good

I wanted something mild without the harsh smell of most deodorant antiperspirants so decided to try this. I was quite impressed with the results, it definitely reduces sweating and didn't irritate my skin at all. I'm not a heavy sweater in general but this was really effective for me. I really hate artificial or chemical scents and this has very little odor at all. Overall I'm very pleasantly surprised and this is now my go to choice.

Pros: unscented really is unscented. Nice pure ingredients. Blocks odor..up to a point Cons: Was good on a day that I did light chores. However a little smelly after a day of hard work. I developed a cyst in my pit after using this, I can't blame the product directly just thought I should mention it. Price can be pretty ridiculous I would get this again for the right price. It's in the rotation for my aluminum free deodorants. Not my favorite, but it's fine. Make sure to use a rock salt based deodorant first if you're going to be sweating, then this over it.

Finally, a deodorant that works for me. Don’t know why others did not work and these do work.

To give background on the scent and deodorant that I like and use. I use to use Denali before they changed it and not the antiperspirant variant. I now use L'Occitane Aluminum Salts Free & Alcohol-Free Eau des Baux. Go there to check out my review of that. I put all of the deodorants, shampoos, and body washes through the same rigorous tests. I run 14 miles 4-5 days a week, swim over 20+ lengths (or laps) in a junior Olympic sized pool 3 times a week, do 2 or 3 intervals in a Sauna for 15 minutes each 5 days a week, and use weights 4 times a week. Saying all of that, this was the hardest product to finish. I try to finish all the products. Let's start with the immediate smell test of Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood. A quick smell of it, leaves me wondering where is the wood smell. It does not smell like wood. The next major issue is that this leaves white streaks galore. I ended up having to wait to put my shirt on to try to prevent this from happening. This was one of the worst deodorants that I've tried for leaving white lines. Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood scent was not long lasting by any stretch and I was continuously putting it on multiple times a day. This was the only good thing, if you want to call it that, for Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood and that me using it so often meant that I was able to get through and finish it pretty quickly. On my buy, borrow, or bury rating scale, for Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood it is a bury. Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood should be buried so not to see the light of day. Do not waste your money on it and stay away. I brought an additional one in case I wanted to review and I will not be reviewing it. Finally, all three different Oars+Alps scents that I bought, none of them came with the plastic protective covering that's on the actual deodorant. I'm talking about the piece that once you remove the lid, you have to remove the plastic cover that's on the deodorant in order to use the deodorant. It's not a major issue but it does give me some peace of mind when I see it. Thanks for reading, please check out my other reviews!

Smells great and definitely works. Problem is it did cause irritation for me so I can’t use it.

My boyfriend was the first to try Oars and Alps and he got me liking it after I tried his. I tend to have sensitive skin so when I saw they had sensitive scents - I knew had to get some. This scent smells SO good and actually keeps me smelling fresh all throughout the day unlike many natural deodorants. It smells so good that when I've lifted my arm up and caught a whiff of the deodorant throughout the day I kept saying "Oh my god. This smells so good!". It is definitely a little more expensive than what I was using before but it works so well and smells so good I will continue to buy and use.

this deo might not be for everyone, as for me my skin got iritated and got body odor after use which I seldom have from my previous deodorant
