Sam’s Natural Deodorant - Patchouli - Holiday Gifts - Stocking Stuffers - Aluminum Free DEO - No phthalates, parabens, sulfates, or dyes - For Men, Women, Unisex - Vegan, Cruelty Free - 3 oz

I have been using the original Scent for about 4 months now and I love it, I have not tried any of the other scents! I wanted to detail my experience and what has worked for me. I am a very active guy that works out and runs daily both at the gym and outside.Helpful hints:-It works best on trimmed or shaved pits (yes guys no deodorant works great on a jungle, this one works best with direct contact to the skin).-If you are switching from a different Antiperspirant Deodorant it will take about a month for your body to adjust to this deodorant give it a chance (I used Old Spice beforehand for many years in different scents but wanted something natural and without aluminium).-Do NOT use a lot or it can irritate the skin, one or two passes works great as the manufacturer states. I accidentally applied an exuberant amount once and experienced very slight irritation but have not had any irritation since then, everyone is different.My Use cases:This Deodorant will last all day and into the morning without crazy physical activity, I only reapply before either a very long run or high intensity gym workout (I hate the smell of BO).I run anywhere from 3 to 10 miles and the deodorant hasn't failed except once when it was 80 degrees out and I had only applied in the morning and went through the whole day and run 6 miles in the heat.At the gym I usually have high intensity workouts where I'm soaked in sweat by the end. For the Gym I apply before going in the evening to avoid any funk just in case just because of the intensity of my workouts and the amount I sweat..I would recommend this deodorant! I have tried many other natural deodorants where I would stink half way through the day sitting at my desk. This deodorant lasts all day and smells great and can hold up during workouts and runs (might require a reapply before gym or run if its been all day to be on the safe side).

This deodorant is the best natural deodorant i’ve ever bought. Over the past year and a half, i have tried every scent they make, except for Sport. The first few time’s i ordered through Amazon, i received the product with broken tops, and have never received a single response from the company. However, i like the product so much, that i ordered many more, and most of them have been fine. The “cigar” scent, smells like a fresh cigar (unlit). The Aloe is fresh cut.. clean smelling, perfect for summer. One of my favorite’s is the, only occasionally available, coconut. It smells exactly like the Hawaiian sun tan lotion from when i was a kid. Love it! The “Bay” scent.. smells like you just went to the barber shop for a hair cut. Leather.. scent.. smells NOT like a watch band, but instead.. like leather from the leather shop (however the smell changes within a few hours to one i didn’t like). The same with Vetiver .. at first.. it smells like your sitting around a campfire and brings back awesome memories.. however.. within an hour or two.. it begins to smell like an electrical fire (really strange and gross). The oak moss has a nice “woodsy” smell to it and is nice for daily wear. However.. bar none.. my favorite.. is Cederwood. It smells like fresh cut cedar when you put it on.. and throughout the day. Never had to “reapply” the cederwood either. Chestnut is also pretty good.. smells like the interior of an old hotrod.. if you’ve ever owned a classic car.. you’ll know what I mean. Original scent smells like the original “right gaurd”… As for “sage lime”.. it smells clean and summery at first, but is not that good within a few hours.Basically.. as far as natural deoderant’s are concerned. This company’s products actually smell like the name implies (unlike other companies attempts). They have a large selection for men, woman, other(s). They last all day without needing to be reapplied..My only advice is to take the companies advice… apply with one swipe up, and one swipe down the other side.. another words “less is more”.. if you over apply.. it will burn .. leave stains.. or cause trouble. Adding more.. will NOT make it work better, or last longer. On average. A container last me a few months because of how thin you apply it. If your switching from an anti-persperant to this product, it will take a few days for your body to adjust. You can also do this… if you take a shower at night… you can use an anti-perperant (especially an unscented one.. if done this on the hottest days of the summer), and the next morning.. after showering, apply Sams (the scent you love the most). This will make you sweat less during the worst summer days, while still using the scent you love the most. I’ve only needed to do this a few times in a year. I used another product, which is a pad containing simply the anti-persperant (called sweat block; which last up to seven days and is unscented), and then used Sam’s as normal; during 100 degree days. Even on day’s that are in the eighties and nineties.. Sam’s works fine on it’s own.As for staining… i’ve only had one Sam’s product cause stains.. and that was the Coconut one. Because it has coconut oil i assume.. this one caused problems. However, for the most part, Sam’s washes out of clothing very well.Summary: I have tried numerous “natural” deodorants.. and Sam’s in bar none.. the best. It smells like the name implies.. last longer than other “natural” deodorant’s.. doesn’t stain clothing (except for the one i mentioned). And, even though it is expensive.. you put it on so thinly.. that it lasts as long as any other deodorant you might buy.

*EDIT* (2/22/18)After use for about a month I need to amend my review of this product. While I still am using it and like how it works, I have had mild irritation that will not go away. I don't know if it is an ingredient or what the cause is. Both underarms right in where the arm meets the torso has a small rash in that area. It isn't really all that noticable unless I look at it but still there. I do have sensitive skin so that might be the cause, but the odd thing is that it is not everywhere I use the deodorant. I use one swipe top to bottom, but that isn't where the irritation occurs, so I am not totally sure the cause. I still would recommend this product, but felt the need to update the review. I also have taken one star off for this, and will replace if I can figure out the exact cause and that it isn't caused by this product.*EDIT*I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by this deodorant! The scent is awesome and works perfectly with my other products that I use. (beardbalm, cologne, ect.) I have been using aluminium free deodorant for a while so I didn't have to worry about the "adjustment" period which was nice. I will say that if I put more than one swipe on, that I have seen some irritation occur. Other than that this deodorant works really well. I can go a full 24 hrs without starting to smell at all, much better than the 6 hrs from my last deodorant. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a better product that works and offers a nice variety of scents to choose from!
