Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Smooth Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free and Skin Safe - 2.6 Ounce (Toasted Coconut)

I have a fragrance contact allergy to linalool which means that I cannot use anything with natural or artificial fragrance. No botanical oils or extracts at all. In addition, certain chemicals are considered cross reactors and therefore I have to avoid those as well. Add to that my vitamin E (tocopherol) contact allergy and finding a deodorant that is safe for me and actually works is near impossible. I couldn't use the original unscented cream stick deodorant because while labeled unscented, it's not actually considered fragrance free due to the aloe leaf juice, isoamyl laurate, lauryl alcohol, sodium benzoate and cocoa butter. Plus it has vitamin E in it. I use the SkinSafe app to find products that are safe for me per my Mayo Clinic dermatologist. I have tried every safe deodorant and none have worked. Some caused rash despite saying they are safe, but most just don't work. They may for a couple hours then they stop. Another thing to consider is will it leave white marks or stain clothing (oil stains can be really hard to remove). The Lume Unscented/fragrance free solid deodorant recently appeared on my safe list and I jumped to try it. First I want to address the smell because I see people complaining about it smelling like all kinds of weird things such as vinegar, mildew, urine, etc. THIS PRODUCT SMELLS NOTHING LIKE ANY OF THOSE THINGS! Please do not be scared off by those reviews. I have a keen sense of smell since I live a fragrance free life so nothing is dulling my senses. The unscented solid has a light smell which is a result of the raw ingredients in it. The whole point in making a product that is free of scents (including masking fragrances) is to have a product free of both natural and artificial fragrance. When you do that, the natural smells of the ingredients will come through, though they are never strong and don't really linger. This product's ingredients give it a smell that is like a mix of citronella and calamine but not as strong as either one. I can smell it if I put my nose up to it or if I sniff my armpits within an hour of application, but that's it, and after that it just fades away. It is not a bad or offensive smell (much better than BO) even if it's not a scent someone with the luxury of using fragrance would choose. For people like me, it's beautiful because it's safe. I don't get to choose what anything smells like. My conditioner smells like cooking oil, my soap smells like glycerin and and my hair gel smells like plastic and vinegar. I couldn't care less. All that matters to me is that it is safe and will not cause terrible, itchy, oozing rashes that take months and a lot of prescriptions to clear, and that it serves it's purpose. I'm grateful to Lume for creating a product for me and the millions of people like me. On to performance! Day one I applied only 1-2 swipes per arm as instructed but I did start to smell some faint BO after a couple of hours in the 106 degree AZ heat. The next day I washed it off and applied 3 swipes per arm. I went all day without smelling anything. When I got up the next day I could smell light BO if I put my nose to my armpit which is fine. It says it eliminates odor all day (that's one day) and controls odor for 72 hours (meaning it will lessen the odor on days 2 & 3 but not eliminate it) so it did what it said it would do. I've been using it for two weeks now and have not had any adverse reactions. I will update if I do. I am happy that it works and I haven't seen marks on my clothes, it feels nice and smooth going on and doesn't feel wet or sticky after it rubs in. I highly recommend it if you truly need a product free of artificial and natural fragrance.

The best natural deoderant that actually works. I absolutely love lume. Your body almost has a short detox while adjusting to this natural deoderant but it’s one of the only ones now that I can wear without underarm smell breakthrough. It’s a cream kind of deoderant so it easily slides on but it’s not sticky. It works great.

I really love Lume whole body deodorant. I usually buy the toasted coconut but decided to try something different. After using this I will be going back to the coconut. The overall product is wonderful but this scent is wicked strong. Lume does last all day which I really like. I have used it in high humidity and high heat and have been happy with the product. I only need to apply once which is nice. This specific scent has caused some irritation when I have used it as a whole body deodorant which I did not experience with the coconut scent.

Attention ladies suffering from changes in your usual smell thanks to perimenopausal and menopausal hormone changes!! Because the chin hair wasn’t bad enough! The story goes like this…..I’m getting in bed and I’m moving the sheets around etc getting comfy and I smell this smell…like the Lumie lady says lol! Anyway I look at my husband whom I totally know is the culprit and ask if he forgot his deodorant to which he replies, “NO”. Hmmmm could it be me?? No way but I take a sniff anyway and to my surprise, IT WAS MY PITS!!! Horrified! I had never had that smell before. Thanks Mother Nature! This went on every night for a week or two. The deodorant I had used literally my whole adult life was failing my hormonally imbalanced armpits! A search for a new deodorant began. Not only did I need to eliminate that smell, I also wanted to kick the aluminum can out of my deodorant, so I went on a search for something different. I tried Schmidt’s with Charcoal and nope, still stinky, albeit less but still stinky. Then I decided to try Lumie after seeing the “smell that smell” lady over and over on social media. Let me tell you, it worked immediately and for the full 72 hours like she claims! No more Mother Nature smelly pits for me!! I love it! I have been using it for over a month now with no mind boggling odors emanating from myself! Here are my two warnings about the product. 1) it burns if you put it on right after you’ve shaved your armpits and 2) not everyone’s skin can handle it. I bought it for my hubby too and it burned him, made his skin itch and it eventually peeled. So just beware of those things. Otherwise, I am super pleased and no longer have smelly armpits to try to blame on my innocent hubby!

Absolutely love the scent. I keep getting compliments because people think its Perfume. This is also one of the few deodorants that have not impacted my Hidradenitis Suppuritiva. So far its a definite keeper.

At the price of nearly $18 for a stick of deodorant, not being able to find an unscented version on Amazon (I have since been able to find single sticks of unscented, and am not sure why I couldn’t find them when I made the mistake of ordering this), I thought at least that the smell would not be cloyingly overpowering, because that’s cheap perfume products, right? Wrong. This stuff is so strong smelling (in a horrible, perfumey way), I can’t imagine what my body might smell like underneath it. How will I know if it works? I prefer my natural body odor to this overwhelmingly strong perfume that makes me literally gag. I hope I can sleep tonight, and am wondering if I should chalk it up to horrible experience and wash it of. I’ve already had it on my body a couple of hours and I can’t smell anything else! It’s starting to nauseate me. I even made a pot of chai tonight, and I can barely smell THAT with this ever-present, cheap perfume smell, that resists nasal fatigue. I’ve already trying dabbing straight essential oil blends that I like on my nose itself, and I have nasal fatigue to THOSE and can only smell this horrible, horrible strong perfume. My God, who would want to smell like this?! I should have known better and just left well enough alone since I couldn’t find a single stick of unscented to try. My husband suggested spraying my homemade bug spray (5 essential oils in water) under my arms to try to mask it, as well as a Thieves Oil spray—because peppermint, citronella and clove would overpower this cucumber perfume, right? Wrong. I can’t smell them at all now, just this sickening cloying perfume! At this point, I really don’t even care if it works, because I would rather smell my own body odor than smell like a cheap slut drenched in scent! After writing the above, I wet a washcloth, put soap on it, and tried to scrub it off. I can’t get rid of it! The washcloth smells terrible now, and so do I. I just took a shower before putting this stuff on, or I would take another! I hope I can get rid of the smell swimming tomorrow. I thought about trying the unscented instead (now that I found it finally on Amazon), but this was such a bad experience, I don’t want to take the risk that the unscented might still smell terrible, too, because I shouldn’t have splurged so much money on a tube of deodorant that makes me hate the way I smell—a friend recommended this to me, and she’s about to get a piece of my mind. Maybe she’ll take this tube, since obviously I can’t return it.

I was very excited and couldn’t wait to try this but it turned out to be a disappointment. I am always looking for natural alternatives to the stuff we use everyday and need. I thought this would be a good one based on reviews. The smell was awesome. It looks white but remains mostly clear after application. However it barely kept me smelling fresh. I started by just putting it underneath my arms before bed. I tried wearing it to work and I work outside it didn’t last more than like three hours and just for the record I don’t sweat that bad at all. It failed to keep me fresh. However I will keep wearing it to bed. The price I thought was high for the one stick you get. I won’t buy this again but am glad I tired it.

I was in dire need for just my pits but really trying them all and nothing worked till this magic. Just standing around I would start to sweat and smell of rotten onions. I tried many brand name 72 hr deodorant but needed to reapply often and still was moist and gross. I seem to make the black circles of 🤮 if I use antiperspirant so I tried all deodorants. Then read a review about someone's beast pits and this worked. So here I am!! Happy and smelling like just like toasted marshmallow jelly bellies taste ( I haven't licked it yet, haha) I haven't felt disgusting in days and not worried about hugging people. I think people even complement me on my smell and think it's my hair. I don't tell them it's my pits🤫 so the smell of toasted marshmallow is strong yet pleasent. It does have a slight whitening effect on the edge of black tank top but I can deal with that. Its lighter then an antiperspirant and it stops the moisture as much as the smell. 10 star!!!
