Schmidt'S Deodorant Natural Rose And Vanilla Stick (3. 25 Oz Odour Protection And Wetness Relief Aluminium-Free)

Perfect for sensitive skin. Doesn't need liberal application, a dab or two is quite enough. Not too strong, keeps it natural. Would buy it again.

I'm not sure whether I like this fragrance. It's a bit too sweet and it dries up very quickly unlike the charcoal one or the fragrance free one.

The deo stick is too thick and sticky.... the smell is no way near to that of either vanilla or rose...and it's a very non-existent smell... after 5 minutes no one can tell if u are wearing a fragrance...and that's for me as I don't sweat much and neither have body odor.

Love the smell!

I so badly wanted to LOVE this deodorant. In fact, I did the first few days of use and couldn't wait to get on here and post a review making sure the world knew I thought it was wonderful!! It was the FIRST natural deodorant I've tried that didn't need to be reapplied multiple times in a day. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised the sweet vanilla rose scent could still be smelt the following day when I woke up! It seemed to be such good quality, I thought 1 application might last 2 days in a row (of course I didn't want to experiment with that so I always reapplied the next morning. Ha!) As does, life happened so a few days turned into a few weeks and I still hadn't got around to writing that review. During that time, my opinion changed... drastically. The first thing I noticed were the sweat stains on my shirts. The only thing worse than having black shirts stained with white deodorant marks is having white shirts stained with BROWN deodorant marks. I'm not talking an old shirt that had gradually been stained in the armpits over time like all shirts do. I'm talking a BRAND NEW white shirt that had never been worn. I started paying more attention and every light colored shirt I wore stained brown / orange sweat marks; because, as you can see from my picture, the color of the deodorant is brownish. So that was the first big bummer. But like all natural things, the deodorant is more costly than something from a drug store and I can't just keep buying a new natural deodorant every time one doesn't work. And because I love the scent of this so much and love the lasting protection it gives, I decided to see my deodorant stick through to the end. A few days later I noticed a few red bumps on my armpits. I thought it was a razor burn or from my bra digging into my armpit. I stopped wearing that bra and gave it a few days to see if the bumps went away. And here we are 2 weeks later and the bumps have gotten WAY worse. They aren't itchy. I don't think I'm allergic to the product. And I've never had any issues like this... like EVER. I have zero allergies to anything that I've stumbled on so far in my lifetime and don't have sensitive skin. So I do believe it's due to this product. My hunch is that because the deodorant is so thick, that's why it lasts so long and even the second day I still smell it on me; yet, BECAUSE it is so thick, I think it's clogging my pores and causing bacteria to build up. I don't think the product is crap. I really believe it is a quality product. It just doesn't work for me. If it did, I would never use any deodorant but this as long as I lived. That's how much I wanted to love this product. All of you who it works for, you are so lucky!

I always buy natural deodorants that are aluminum free so I've tried more than a few. I was previously using Piper Wai, which I love, love, love, but I was missing the ease and convenience of having deo in a stick (Piper Wai is in a jar and you put it on with your fingers). So I decided to give the Schmidts a go. I like it, but I don't LOVE it. Here's the pros and cons:The pros: it has a great scent. Rose and vanilla can sometimes come off as a weird, old lady-ish kind of smell, but this one is nice and light. It's floral without being overdone and the vanilla adds a mild powdery scent that I like. My grandma used to have this rose scented powder with a huge poof that she would put on after a bath and it reminds me of that, in a good way.It also works well to control odor. I can sniff my pit at the end of the day and get no stink, only a slightly more faint whiff of that same rose and vanilla scent. It keeps BO at bay even after I've sat out in the heat and humidity or worked out. I would give it an A+ in the stink prevention category.It's convenient. It comes in the traditional stick container that I can throw in my bag without having to worry it's going to melt or leak like the jarred deodorants can. And, a little goes a long way. You can go light on the application and still get good results.The cons: a little goes a long way. All of the Schmidts info says to go light on the application but with a lot of deos, if a little is good, more is better. Not true with this one! Seriously, one, maybe two swipes and STOP. If you over apply, the deo ends up rubbing off all over your clothes. And this scent is a deep rose pink, so especially on light colored clothes, it can make a mess. I have more than one light colored tank top with pinkish pit stains. It does wash out in the laundry so that's a plus. I find myself waiting until I'm totally dressed then trying to reach up under my clothes to put it on so I don't end up with deo stains on my clothes from the dressing process. I should not have to adjust the order of my morning routine out of fear of deo stains! Light application does help but it doesn't completely alleviate the pink residue on my clothes.It's scratchy when you apply it. You know those pumice stones you use on calloused heels? Well this deodorant sort of feels like a pumice stone on my armpits. It's not bothersome enough that I want to stop using it and it hasn't caused a rash or redness, it's just mildly annoying enough that I notice it every time I put it on.The summary: it works well enough that I will probably buy it again. I like the ingredients. I like the company philosophy. I like the scents and the cons aren't annoying enough for me write this deo off. I think I'm going to go for a different scent, hopefully one that's a lighter color that will be less noticeable when it inevitably rubs off on my clothes.

I have been aluminum free for years and wanted to try something new, so I purchased Schmidt's' Rose Vanilla deodorant. First of all, I love the smell and since there is no aluminum it doesn't make your armpits smell funny. Not only does the smell last, it keeps you dry as well! Staying dry has been my main problem with going aluminum free.RASHES: Now, this deodorant is a little abrasive and can pull your skin when applying. I've read and seen the rashes but I do not believe it is due to the ingredients but the application. When you apply the deodorant it pulls the skin, creating micro-abrasions, then the deodorant get into all of those, what are essentially tiny cuts and your skin becomes irritated. I started to develop a rash myself but not until weeks later, so I knew IT WAS NOT AN ALLERGIC REACTION. I then figured out the micro-abrasion thing. So I took a 2 or 3 day break from using it, used an alternative deodorant during the day, applied a rash cream at night and washed my pits gently during those days, this allowed the abrasions to heal. After a few days I went back to using the Schmidt's but I now WARM IT UP WITH MY BLOW DRYER TO SOFTEN IT BEFORE APPLYING. I've been using this method for about a month and HAVEN'T HAD ANY MORE PROBLEMS. I strongly suggest you give it another try, using this method. I would hate for you to miss out on the best dang aluminum free deodorant there is out there! Believe me, I've spent tons of money trying numerous brands and Schmidt's has proven to be the best so far.I discovered SCHMIDT'S HAS A SENSITIVE SKIN DEODORANT LINE, so I just ordered the sampler of that. It claims to be "Smooth and creamy in texture, with natural magnesium. Formulated for sensitive skin." This may be the remedy to having to blow dry my deodorant in the morning! :)Good Luck, Stay Fresh and so clean, clean!

Im always a bit skeptical about “natural” cosmetic products, but need them as i react to many commercial products.This actually works extremely well and doesn't seems like im settling for a compromise.
