Gentlemen:

i would be grateful for your thoughts and experiences with regard to the following dilemma.

I seem to buy and be given a large number of colognes (hopefully not a reflection on my odour)- let's say 20 or so. Trying to match deodorants to each of those colognes appears to be a battle that I'm unlikely to win (having tried for quite a while).

My latest idea has been to purchase a couple of Mr Taylor's Gentlemen's Deodrants (virtually fragrance free). These also help allay my slight fears regarding aluminium exposure - since they are aluminium free.

Do other members adopt a similar approach?

Apologies for my typo. I did learn to spell at school but must have been off the day they taught typing

I use Mitchum unscented and wear light colognes made of natural ingredients that, after a while, leave just a faint scent on the skin. Mitchum is very effective with me and causes no irritation (I find it's a matter of body chemistry - most deodorants don't work the same way with different people), but it does contain aluminium compounds.

I use Biotherm homme, which is virtually fragrance free, and has no aluminum compounds.

Arm & Hammer comes in non-scented, and is forgiving to clothing.

Gentlemen:

Based on another LL discussion on this subject, I tried Crystal Stick, a non-scented deodorant made from natural mineral salts. I was sceptical, however, it is awesome. A stick lasts forever.

I second Trey's comment. I recently purchased a mineral rock and have been delighted with its odor-killing abilities.

Best,

Trout

After a week of experimentation, I can confirm that the crystal stick is indeed an excellent choice at an excellent price. Thanks to all.
