Gents.

Im trying to find a deodorant that works all day but is aluminum free. Spray preferred.

I've tried mando and it stinks. It has a weird smell and honestly doesn't work.

Im currently trying dove deo and it only lasts until you start working and sweating. Then you have to re apply.

Is there anything out there that works?

Dove 72 Hour Clean Comfort.

Also take a ton of magnesium, bad odor is your sign.

Aluminum is in antiperspirants, not deodorant. They're different products. Are you sure you know which you want?

I've been using Old Spice High Endurance DEODORANT for decades with excellent results. Usually the stick format. Give it a try.

I like Native, as much as for what it doesn't have in it.  No Aluminum, no Parabens, fairly natural ingredients.

THIS is what you seek.

Smells good and works.

I worked 44 year in the Oilfields.  A lot of it sweating so much you had salt on your coveralls at the end of the shift.
Offshore Africa for the last 20 years.
Bar Soap and Scrub Brush in the Shower.
Deodorant and some cheap cologne.

I use Native as well. Why he posted a pic of the least manly scent is beyond me though.  

I work outside in (7 years) Vegas heat and get home to no smell pits. Here in UT with higher humidity it works just as well.



They also have sprays OP

Dr Squatch .  I like the wood barrel bourbon.   I thought the fresh falls smelled like laundry detergent.  I may try the pine tar as well.

I use Mennen Speed Stick Light deodorant, FWIW. They claim it has less fragrance than the regular. It works fine for me.

PSA/general information: Antiperspirants work by clogging the pores of the sweat glands, which causes them to turn off. The sweat glands have a feedback mechanism. Antiperspirants work best when applied in the evening, which is when the sweat glands are least active.

OP, if you want to avoid aluminum, that’s your choice. According to the experts in sweating disorders, there is no evidence that aluminum in antiperspirants causes breast cancer.

I've been using Dr Squatch, which is available at Walmart. It works better than the Old Spice I was using.

Because coconut and vanilla smell good and women like those scents.  I don’t wear deodorant for men and I don’t need to smell like the forest or a tree!

I went on an aluminum free pilgrimage years ago.  The Native brand was one of the better performers without feeling slimy.

I used Doc Spartan for years and it did better than anything I used previously, but did not really work all that well.

It would cake onto the underarms on my shirts and I ruined quite a few shirts. My wife started using this and I reluctantly switched. It took me about a week or two two see the value.

I promised this works and it is cheap. If your pts stink it will take you the better part of two weeks of regular use to knock that stank off. you'll feel better and won't be dropping $100+ annually.
