Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Invisible Cream Tube and Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Skin Safe - 3.0 Ounce Tube and 2.6 Ounce Solid Stick Bundle (Clean Tangerine)

If you have been waiting to try Lume, let this be your sign to try it. As a menopausal woman I was having persistent odor in one armpit that kept coming back, immediately after showering almost, no matter what I used... apparently this is a thing when our hormones are shifting and changing. Having cut my ties with anti-perspirant and detoxed from all that aluminum years ago, I was not willing to go back to a traditional combo like that, but all my trusted natural deodorants, even the one I make on my own, were not helping this particular problem. Lume enters the chat... I was hesitant because of the price, but ordered the scent sampler cream deodorants so I could test out all the scents... and WOW, it totally, 100% took the odor away, and lasts 48-72 hours! I decided on my fave scents and ordered this set of Clean Tangerine (my number one pick)... the stick works just as well as the cream. The magic is in the mandelic acid, which does have a weird scent at first in the cream deoderant, but that 100% goes away once it's on. Here are my favorite scent picks. 1. Clean Tangerine, a delicate citrus but really just as it sounds... very clean smelling... not too strong and not too fruity. 2. A close second is the Lavender and Sage, only if you love lavender, it is very herby and delicious smelling, a bit stronger than the clean tangerine and heavy on the lavender. I love it. 3. Peony Rose, flowery and not too cloying, a bit strong at first but dries down light and floral... very girly. 4. Toasted Coconut, many people love this one the most, but for me, I don't love my armpits smelling like food... it's very warm and foody, almost more hazelnut creamer smelling to my nose. It does eventually smell like coconut after a few hours. 5. Fresh Alpine, I wanted to like this one more, but it reminds me of a typical, sweet, men's cologne... which I do not mind, it just smells more masculine than I want to smell. It lasted a long time too. 6. Cucumber mint... nah, too basic bathroom air freshener smelling for me, and too strong. I did not test the unscented, but that is a great option if you want 0 interference from scents, and the soft powder, because that did not appeal to me at all.

The cream smells of cheese. And that smell does not dissipate. I'm not sure why anyone would want to smell like cheese. It's supposed to be unscented. Perhaps it's gone off. The stick is unscented and works well but not perfect. Needs reapplying and does not last three days - although I've never tried for three days, it has needed reapplying after a few hours.

The solid is great - (cream, not so much - has a weird smell.) I'd go with simply the solid another time, but it is very effective. I got the soft powder scent, and it is quite nice.

This stuff works SO well for body odor. The only reason I tried it was because the inventor is an OB/GYN, and obviously she’s a genius to come up with this. My brothers and I always joke that “we’re a sweaty people” because we cannot do anything without sweating. This product doesn’t prevent sweat (no aluminum), but sweating for a good chunk of the day = odor. And honestly I’ve never found a product that I can’t sweat through. I usually carry a tube of old spice and a bottle of perfume everywhere with me. I tested out the cream deodorant by using it in my buttcrack. I had to get a true feel for the effectiveness. After 30 minutes on the stair master the NEXT DAY, I did a swipe before my shower and my butt still smelled like coconut. Gross test, but it doesn’t lie. However I do not love the toasted coconut scent. To me, it smells kind of like buttered popcorn and coconut? It’s fine for underboob/armpit, but that scent with inner thigh/butt use was just gross. I’m still figuring out my favorite scent, but I’ll never give up on this product. Also - amazing for ingrown hairs. Unlike a lot of other whole body deodorants, Lume has a gentle chemical exfoliant, which helps prevent ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation. As a truly truly sweaty person, this product feels like a miracle.

This product is supposed to be Unscented, but it is still a little scented, but I like this product controls odor, much longer than other regular deodorants.
