I'm with you on that, Razor. Since I love Clubman for fall/winter(plus Bay Rum on occasion), I'll try to keep my deodorant as neutral as I can(but it must say "Men" on it). In the summers, I would probably go with Mennen Skin Bracer and Mennen Speed-Stick Regular.
Looks like a buncha complaints with Old Spice: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/cosmetics/old-spice.html
I have been using the "Best Deodorant on Earth" from RazoRock. I have to say, it works pretty well. I got the tea tree scent, but the scent is gone fairly quickly after putting it on. It just keeps me from stinking.
A good deodorant for me is something that doesn't have a scent or smell. It also has to be healthy for the skin and easy for the wallet. Hence, I make my own! Coconut oil mixed with baking soda. Works for more than 24 hours of sweaty endurance for me.
I use 2:1 coconut to baking soda. Usually 1 dl of coconut oil (just ordered some scentless refined instead of organic) and 0,5 dl baking soda. And a small amount of Vitamin E, around 1 tsp. But I have absolutely no idea as to whether those 1 tsp Vitamin E is too much or too little? I think even half of the baking soda I use here will suffice. I tend to get some redness under my pits with prolonged use, so my next batch will be 3:1 I think. Baking soda can, in greater amounts, be quite aggressive although still harmless.
I did just that. Works perfectly still and no redness. Also, the refined coconut oil as carrier-oil is so great. Zero scent, just the way a deo for me should be.
I want to reduce any unnecessary contact with aluminum as well, so only deodorant, no anti-perspirant. I use Speed Stick Ocean Surf by Mennen. I wouldn't mind an unscented option though. I may check out a few of the offered alternatives.
Have been using PAA CAD deodorant the past few days and I love the scent. It goes on kind of thick but it seems to work.
I've switched from Schmidt's to Primal Pit Paste as I like the texture better (not grainy). I'm currently using PPP sensitive/unscented, but I took advantage of a sale and bought a couple scents too.
There are a few shaving soap producers that also produce deodorants, including I Coloniali, DR Harris (Windsor in stick or Arlington in roll-on I believe), Irisch Moos. If you're really adamant on only smelling one thing. But then again, you would have to have an unscented shampoo, laundry detergent/softener and so on.
I've been using the cheap Lynx/Axe line, and find that some of the scents complement my fragrances very well. Axe Anarchy is aromatic/woody, and goes well with Burberry Brit Rhythm Intense and the cheaper Adidas Extreme Power (which are similar). Axe Africa has been likened to Minotaure - I haven't worn the latter yet, but will get a bottle soon. The chocolaty Axe Dark Temptation can go with chocolate- or vanilla-based fragrances like Body Shop Chocomania, Body Shop Madagascan Vanilla Flower and Versace Eros (which turns into vanilla on drydown). Gatsby made a citrus-type deodorant years ago, but it was discontinued - this could go with similar EDTs like Clinique Happy, CK One Summer and 4711 Acqua Colonia Mandarin and Cardamom. On the whole, however, the scent of a deodorant tends to vanish on me within ten minutes... I use deodorants to keep my lionpits from smelling (and it works), not for the perfume, and I go very sparingly when applying. So ultimately it doesn't matter if the deodorant's scent clashes with my EDT, since the former is gone by the time I step out. :3
