Barrel and Oak - Aluminum-Free Deodorant, Deodorant for Men, Essential Oil-Based Scent, 24-Hour Odor Protection, Cedarwood & Bourbon Aroma, Gentle on Sensitive Skin, Vegan (Bourbon Cedar, 2.7 oz)

I love the scent. Odor protection seems to last all day. It appears that it's labeled under a different company now. Slightly different ingredients now compared to the old formula under Olivina. It's opaque rather than transparent. I would buy again.

Final conclusion (product test below), this product meets expectations for an all natural deodorant, without the obnoxious irritation or clothing staining complaints I’ve seen in other products. User is advised to plan on reapplication 3-4 hours as needed.I will be purchasing the other scents as a result of my positive experience.Current overall rating: 5.0Long-term goals:- Good hygiene;- Healthy lifestyle;Short-term goal:- Detoxify my beauty products;Purpose:Purchased this to get aluminum sulfate out of my topical products.Observations:- Product arrived on time;- Smells good (I get the woody notes mostly);Evaluation:- Evaluation consists of three tests:- All-day test;- Workout test;- Sleep test;All-Day Test- Method: Apply after shower dry-off in morning; go to work; afternoon smell test (reapply if needed); finish day; smell test;- Applied 630am; reapplied 1200pm;- Observations:- Partner smell test (hug) 530pm, no odor detected;- Armpit check, slight body odor on skin but no odor detected in general;Workout Test- Method: Apply before workout, workout, smell test;- 52m HIIT full-body weight-training workout (est. caloric burn @ 783cal, Wahoo RunFit);- Observations:- General smell test returned no odors (fragrance or body odor);- Armpit check returned faint body odor, no fragrance;Sleep Test- Method: Apply before sleep, sleep for 8+ hours, smell test after waking up;- 11hr sleep broken up into two sleep periods: 9hr sleep period, brief awake period less than 15m, 2hr sleep period (Fitbit Blaze sleep monitor);- Observations:- Both general smell test and armpit check returned no smell (no body odor, no fragrance);Forward looking statements:- Slight irritation after extended use 9+ hours (no visible redness; I assume this is due to dryness);- I understand this is a deodorant (not an anti-perspirant) so I expect some sweating - but I’m looking for a lack of significant body odor (whether non-existent or masked by the product);- I understand there is a trade-off of features here between organic, non-toxic ingredients (and therefore increased toxicity - mainly aluminum sulfate) and staying power, anti-perspirant; therefore,- I won’t hold this product accountable for doing the latter, as it is not designed with those features in mind;

I'm a bigger guy, I have to apply 2-3 times a day and scent isn't as strong as I hoped.

Smells good protection last all day but I dont think the smell/fragrance is noticeable later in the day. As long as I dont smell bad im satisfied that its doing its job.

I'm not sure I believe the scare that aluminum is bad for you. I have been using Ban for many years thought about the fact that I don't really sweat a lot so why use an anti-antiperspirant? I am an active person so I did need something that wouldn't let me stink but (I've been told - when I go without) I don't have an odor problem.I did some research and came up with a few choices. Since I use the Olivinia Bourbon Sedar bar soap - which I really enjoy - I decided to begin with the their deodorant. I've been trying it for two weeks and for the most part I have been inactive during this time. During the day I did catch whiffs of the scent which I believe is very pleasant. By evening I couldn't detect the product on my skin but neither could I smell my odor. However, it was there the next morning. In my opinion if I was active at all during the day I'm afraid I might be putting out odors.In conclusion, as much as I like the scent of this deodorant, it's not working at all for me.

Great

Uncapped the product, took a whiff, and my first impression went something like "okaaaay..." I was shocked. I ordered it because I really liked the shampoo and conditioner in the same scent, but- apart from the slightest hint- there was almost no scent at all.Still, I decided to give it a try. So, being a big guy, I layered it on thick and went to work. After spending an hour at my desk in a chill, air conditioned office, I felt (and smelled) as though I'd forgotten to put on deodorant that morning. I applied more during lunch but by dinnertime I had begun to smell like musky fish juice with a hint of lotion. I hopped in the shower more to rid myself of the after stink, which was substantially worse than my usual B.O. The next morning, I put some on before going for a short 15-minute walk and the deodorant had failed long before I got home.Most expensive ineffective deodorant I've ever purchased, frankly. I don't recommend it (and I switched to aluminum-free Mitchum shortly thereafter...)One plus, however; I react quickly to hygiene products and, despite how short I time I tested it, I have to say it didn't irritate my skin at all. Thumbs up for that!
