Oars + AlpsAluminum Free Deodorant for Men and Women, Dermatologist Tested and for Sensitive Skin, Vegan, Travel Size, Mandarin Woods, 2 Pack, 2.6 Oz Each

I really enjoy the scent of the Oars + Alps but they do not do a good job at fighting odor or sweat. They claim to be long-lasting and odor fighting, but within 3-5 hours of work, I smell. I really like this deodorant for not causing itchiness or redness, but it's clear I can't use it during work days. I have to stick with Native or Hume, despite those causing side effects like itchiness, they do an amazing job at fighting odor and sweat for 8-10 hours, sometimes even longer.

To give background on the scent and deodorant that I like and use. I use to use Denali before they changed it and not the antiperspirant variant. I now use L'Occitane Aluminum Salts Free & Alcohol-Free Eau des Baux. Go there to check out my review of that.I put all of the deodorants, shampoos, and body washes through the same rigorous tests. I run 14 miles 4-5 days a week, swim over 20+ lengths (or laps) in a junior Olympic sized pool 3 times a week, do 2 or 3 intervals in a Sauna for 15 minutes each 5 days a week, and use weights 4 times a week.Saying all of that, this was the hardest product to finish. I try to finish all the products. Let's start with the immediate smell test of Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood. A quick smell of it, leaves me wondering where is the wood smell. It does not smell like wood. The next major issue is that this leaves white streaks galore. I ended up having to wait to put my shirt on to try to prevent this from happening. This was one of the worst deodorants that I've tried for leaving white lines. Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood scent was not long lasting by any stretch and I was continuously putting it on multiple times a day. This was the only good thing, if you want to call it that, for Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood and that me using it so often meant that I was able to get through and finish it pretty quickly.On my buy, borrow, or bury rating scale, for Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood it is a bury. Oars+Alps Mandarin Wood should be buried so not to see the light of day. Do not waste your money on it and stay away. I brought an additional one in case I wanted to review and I will not be reviewing it. Finally, all three different Oars+Alps scents that I bought, none of them came with the plastic protective covering that's on the actual deodorant. I'm talking about the piece that once you remove the lid, you have to remove the plastic cover that's on the deodorant in order to use the deodorant. It's not a major issue but it does give me some peace of mind when I see it.Thanks for reading, please check out my other reviews!

The scent is splendid!! Not as long lasting as I’d hoped but definitely works for most of the day.

Overall good quality, the scent is really sweet and nice

The scent was like dryer sheets... I took a chance on the scent and I was pretty disappointed. And at the end of the day the scent is definitely gone, but no BO, so it works well enough. I might have liked the ocean splash or cali scent better since I use those body washes and absolutely love them. I simply do not feel that the deodorant is special enough to spent the money.
