CorpusNatural Deodorant Stick For Sensitive Skin | Aluminium + Baking Soda Free | Unisex, Non-Toxic, Made In The USA (Cedar Flora)

I got "The Botanist" so I'll start by trying to explain the scent. If you're like me, the little video they have that reviews the scent was not particularly helpful ("Smells like nature" did make me laugh a little), so as a person with no experience describing scents this is how I would explain it.Firstly, I do like the scent, and it isn't overwhelming. When you open up the deodorant you aren't hit with a scent, you either have to wave it around a little or get your nose right up in there to smell it. The first whiff you're going to smell citronella. Which makes sense looking at the ingredients again: "*Citronellol,*Geraniol" both of which come from citronella oil. I don't dislike citronella, but I do usually associate it with bug spray so that did surprise me a little to find in in deodorant. I guess bug spray does remind me of going into nature to be fair. I doubt the deodorant will have any actual bug repellent abilities though. After a couple sniffs you do kind of go nose blind to the citronella smell and start picking up the other scents. I really like the underlying scents, my best description of them is they're herbaceous on the side of floral. Not really floral, but herbaceous that's kind of leaning towards being a bit floral. And underneath *that* herbaceous scent is a kind of deeper more earthy scent that you kind of have to dig at to get. And the lingering tang from the citronella smell (or maybe that's the citrus scent kicking in?) on these underlying scents does remind me of the forest floor after rain.So while I'm kind of indifferent to the citronella smell in general, I do keep trying to smell this on me throughout the day to get to more of the underlying stuff. And I think if a deodorant keeps you coming back like that, it's a good sign of a good scent. And I will say the difference between this scent and the non-natural products is night and day. Comparing them back to back you do notice how the non-natural product is kind of flat and dimensionless in comparison. In general it's a nice gender-neutral scent. When this runs out I might try the "No Green" just to see what that is like. But I will have no problem coming back to this scent if I don't like that one.Now for a general deodorant review. In comparison to Ursa Major, this lasted longer on me. Results may vary, but after about 5 pm, Ursa Major would kind of just be gone. This scent does last longer, and even when I can't smell it any more later at night, I don't smell stinky after it was gone like I did with Ursa Major, so I didn't feel the need to top off. If I wore this to the gym, I can imagine it would be a different story, but for just going to work and only having to deal with work-stress sweats, this held up well.When you first put it on, it is a bit goopy. I'm not sure if I left it to dry for a bit if it would go away, but I don't have the patience or time for that in the morning so I've been just dabbing my pits with a wash cloth to get off the excess goop, and that seems to work. Bonus, this method let me test getting the deodorant off fabrics. I did notice the deodorant dried into a white crust on the cloth, but after a rinse that seems all gone so I don't think it left a stain. That was critical to me when picking a deodorant.A lot of natural deodorants are using coconut oil in their product, which is concerning to me because depending on the dye, oils can lift the dye from your clothing. So if coconut oil stains your clothes there's no getting that out because the coconut oil has *removed* the dye, not just layered another dye over it. I'm not sure if essential oils have the same effect, but since those are used as a scent in this product, theoretically they will be in very low concentrations and not enough to produce stains. If that changes and I do notice stains on my clothes, I will update this review.

Bought this end of July last year, it’s now almost beginning of June and I’ve finally ran out. Used it every day.I had cedar flora, initially didn’t know how I felt about the smell because it was very different than normal deodorants, much more complex-smelling, but ended up loving it.By far best natural deodorant I’ve had. Well worth the money for how long it lasted me. Ordering again.

This is the wife speaking! The scent of No. Green is truly tropical and heavenly. I feel beautiful with it on. It smells similar to agent Nateur’s holi silk styling serum (which you also need if you have long hair!). Stunning scent. Not coconut-like. Tropical Hawaiian lai

Smooth application and nice scent. Unfortunately my sensitive skin still broke out.

Love using it. The scent is soft, subtle and sweet.

I have tried quite a few deodorants over the last year or so in an effort to wean off the old spice that I was continually using out of inertia. Either they changed their product, or my body changed, or both, but it was causing me to end up reeking by the end of the day.Lots of the natural deodorants seem to do very little in terms of actually deodorizing, but this stuff works incredibly well. I rock climb and do cardio, and have never noticed any issue at all with smell. It also doesn't stain your clothing (though if you apply it heavily when your pits are still wet, it will form a kind of damp paste that WILL be visible on clothing for a time, not permanently though).Speaking of paste, the only stuff I have found that is comparable to Corpus are some of the natural paste deodorants. They harden around room temp but begin to form a thick, difficult to use paste when exposed to body heat. You can find a lot of these on etsy or locally, and they are a decent option. But corpus is a solid stick of deodorant that acts 'normal', which makes it easier to use and travel with, so it has become my first choice.ONE additional thing to importantly note: these natural deodorants (and in general all non-aluminum containing products) DO NOT act as antiperspirants. I am not a very sweaty person so I don't really notice this, but it is worth mentioning and considering if you are!Santalum is by far the most traditionally 'male' of the scents I've tried, its the one my wife likes on me the most and the one I have come to prefer. It doesn't have one dominating smell, it smells (to me) like earthy hardwood, with a hint of sterility to it. But absolutely recommend this stuff if you can stomach the price. The fact that it:-has no parabens-has no sulfates-has no aluminum-is not animal tested-is plant basedare all things that make it attractive to me.

I like the scent but the deodorant doesn’t really prevent perspiration at all. So you end up with both the scent of the deodorant and the BO.

I gave it a chance , 2 months actually but it just couldn’t help my B.O. I will say even with traditional antiperspirant I sometimes have it although degree 72 hr seems to keep it at bay pretty well so my B.O. might just be to much for natural deodorant however I still have a lot left and I reapplied throughout the day hoping that might help so there is quite a bit of product didn’t stain my clothes smells pretty when you apply it and I live the packaging , no reactions and my skin can sometimes be sensitive I live it really wish it worked for me but back to degree I go

Absolutely loved this product. Smelt wonderful while not being overpowering, and easy glide. Kept my armpits smelling like roses all day.
