Vanilla Skin Natural Deodorant, 1.76 Oz – Aluminum Free Deodorant for Women & Men, Long Lasting Odor Protection with Vanilla, Sandalwood & Pink Apple, Deodorant Stick

PHLUR has officially become my go-to deodorant that I wear every single day. Living in Florida, I need something that can actually hold up against extreme heat and humidity, and this deodorant genuinely performs so well. I apply it once in the morning, and it lasts all day long, even through gym workouts and being outside in the heat. While it still allows me to sweat naturally, I never feel like I smell bad when wearing it, which is exactly what I want from an aluminum-free deodorant. One of my favorite things about this deodorant is the scent. It has a very light, pleasant vanilla fragrance that smells clean and subtle without being overpowering. The formula also applies really smoothly and does not feel greasy or sticky under the arms. I especially appreciate that it does not leave behind chunks of residue like some natural deodorants do. I also have very sensitive skin, and this has never caused irritation, redness, or discomfort for me. I really like that the ingredients are fairly clean and aluminum-free because that is something I specifically look for in body care products. While it is definitely a little more expensive than standard deodorants, I honestly think it is completely worth the price for the quality you get. One stick lasts a surprisingly long time too — I have had some last up to six months before needing a replacement. The packaging is also very sleek and posh looking, which makes it feel even more luxurious. Overall, this is one of the best deodorants I have ever used and I will continue repurchasing it.

OBSESSED is an understatement! This deodorant is my favorite! The smell is incredible! It’s not sticky and last so long. It’s easy to apply and mess free. It’s made with clean ingredients and is safe! I feel comfortable wearing this, no matter what physical activity I may be engaged in that day.

This deodorant is really nice and the vanilla skin scent is so soft and pretty it genuinely smells luxurious and clean. On cooler days it works really well and keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day no problem. Where it falls a little short for me is on warmer days or when I’m more active the protection just doesn’t hold up as long as I’d need it to. So it’s definitely more of a fall and winter situation for me personally. The formula feels gentle on the skin and I like that it’s natural. For the right climate and occasions it’s a really lovely deodorant. Just keep your expectations realistic if you run warm or live somewhere hot!

Packaging: Is there supposed to be any sort of sanitary seal on these deodorants? The deodorant was delivered in an Amazon bag mailer, without any other packaging, tape, or shrink wrap. There is a rounded plastic lid within the main lid, but it wasn’t sealed. Used Product: Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed when I opened the bottle and found a hair and specks of dirt/lint on the deodorant itself. See photos. It’s not insanely dirty, but I also wouldn’t want to use the product after someone else did. Nor should I have to. Vanilla Skin Scent: In the bottle, Vanilla Skin smells nice and complex. Not like a fake vanilla or desert. The jasmine note (which I’m generally not a fan of) doesn’t stand out to me. It’s not too feminine. I think it would complement a variety perfumes/colognes with sandalwood esk notes. Scents often give me a headache, but I doubt this one would bother me. It’s not a super strong scent, but it’s not weak either. I can’t speak to how it smells on, but I’m hopeful it would wear well and last— of course these things will vary person to person based on PH etc. Closing thoughts: - I hate reading reviews from people who haven’t tried the actual product, but wanted to warn others of a possible sanitary issue! - I hope this bottle was a return fluke and that new products are sealed properly before leaving the factory. - I plan to ask for refund for this product and go to a store irl to repurchase it. - There’s a lot to look forward to in trying this deodorant. After years of using Native deodorant (and starting to smell skunky, a common report on Reddit) I’m specifically looking for a BHA deodorant to neutralize the source of the oder. I like the scent and hope it will wear well on me. - Unless this product is normally sealed, I suggest you pick up the product irl, so you can inspect it before buying.

I’ve repurchased this deodorant several times and it’s easily the best aluminum-free deodorant I’ve found. I have sensitive skin and sweat more than average, so finding a deodorant that actually works without causing irritation has been a challenge. While no aluminum-free deodorant completely stops sweating, this one keeps odor under control far better than the other brands I’ve tried and actually helps me feel drier throughout the day. On especially hot days or when I’m sweating a lot, I may reapply, but it does an excellent job keeping sweat odor at bay. The formula glides on smoothly, dries quickly, and never feels sticky. I’ve had no irritation, burning, itching, or darkening of my underarms, even after using it consistently for over a year. It also hasn’t stained any of my clothing. The Vanilla Skin scent is subtle, warm, and pleasant without being overpowering. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, it’s noticeable but not strong. I’ve tried multiple aluminum-free deodorants over the years, and I continue to come back to this one because it simply performs better for me. If you want an aluminum-free option that is gentle on sensitive skin and provides reliable odor protection, this one is absolutely worth trying.
