Cremo Palo Santo Aluminum Free Deodorant for Men, 48-hour Long Lasting Odor Protection, 2.65oz

It's a nice one 👍🏽

These are extraordinary deodorants! Cremo is trying to do something different than most products in this space, and the result is a category-killer for men's deodorants. I was a fan of Cremo's earlier generation of deodorants (such as the bourbon oak, or the blue cedar) and I was deeply disappointed when they canceled them because they had long lasting, powerful, and unique scent profiles. This new generation of deodorants is even better! They have multi-layered scent profiles more akin to premium colognes than what you'd expect in a deodorant. There are distinct top notes and base notes in each. Rather than fading, each scent will evolve and change over the day you wear it, never unpleasant, sometimes even better later in the day than when you initially put it on in the morning (I find this especially true for Italian Bergamot, which "blooms" several hours after you put it on). The longevity of the fragrance is certainly enough for a single day, and it carries over to the next morning. Although these are not antiperspirants, which in my book is a good thing, there is something in the formulation that significantly prevents odor. Unlike most deodorants that simply try to mask over odor, there seems to be something active in this formulation that prevents odor generation in the first place. The formulation is quite firm; the stick doesn't glide easily. But it applies with no visible residue, and I have had zero issues with skin irritation. I strongly disagree with other reviews that suggest that this product does not deliver value for the money. In fact I am surprised this generation of Cremo deodorants don't cost more. I agree it's unfortunate that they chose a large container for a smaller amount of product; a more compact stick would lead to less waste. But what you are paying for here is not the volume of product but rather the quality of the product, and the fragrance in these products is unsurpassed by any other deodorants on the market today. You're basically paying for a top-shelf cologne combined expertly with an all-day odor blocking deodorant that can be applied in a single swipe.

Amazing scent works great long lasting. The only thing is the container is only half way full which is kind of weird they could have just put it in a smaller container/deodorant stick. I’m sure the product quantity is correct but why put it in a larger stick and half way full. I thought I was getting more but still really great scent non sticky no mess.

I did not expect a deodorant to get compliments, but here we are. The Italian bergamot scent is genuinely nice, clean and a little upscale without being overpowering. It is aluminum free, which was the reason I tried it, and I was worried that would mean giving up on actual protection. It did not. The 48 hour odor protection claim held up through long days and workouts. It goes on smooth and dries down without that sticky or chalky feeling. No white marks on my shirts, which is a quiet win. The scent fades to a pleasant background level rather than screaming all day. For the quality and the aluminum free formula, the value is very fair. This one earned a permanent spot in the rotation.

Scent 5 stars, Long lasting 5 stars, Application ease, 2-3 stars It feels like I am using a piece of Velcro on my armpits removing hair, exfoliating and preparing me to do battle for the day. If They figure out how to make this slightly easier/smoother in the application it will be a 6 out 5 stars. Old Spice Fiji Deodorant was the gold standard for many years until somewhere after Covid they dumbed it down and it still smells nice but lacks the odor and funk protection like the old formula. Add a couple drops of lube or something to this stuff and make it easier to apply and they will come. LFG.

The reviews are spot on. It smells good. The smell actually lasts. But man oh man is this thing unpleasant to put on. After using it for the first time, I saw several armpit hairs on the bar afterwards. Its really a shame. I actually don't agree with people that it's chalky. It's not. It's glossy and smooth and yet when you try and put it on, it just clings to your skin so it's like dragging sandpaper across your armpit. Why oh why can't they just make it so it glides on well? They'd have a real winner here. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep using it. Coming from old spice and looking for a change.
