I was on the search for an aluminum free deodorant, since hearing about the harm of putting aluminum on your skin. This was one of the first I tried. I got the smaller sample size, which was still almost $15! I got the grapefruit scented one. It smells absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, it's the worst deodorant I've ever used in my life. If I miss a day, I don't smell bad. I may sweat a bit, but I never have that BO smell. With this deodorant on, within an hour I just STUNK. I don't know if it was a bad chemical reaction with my sweat, but holy smokes, it was vile. I almost smelled like extremely strong chlorine mixed with just plain awful. I gave it an honest go for about a week or two, then had to stop using it, because every day it was just the same thing. I looked up reviews and apparently I'm not the only one that has experienced this!

After finding out how harmful the inclusion of aluminum is in antiperspirants, I began searching for a natural deodorant to use instead. I tried a few other brands first and then I discovered Lavanila -- and now it's been my go-to deodorant for the past couple of years! One thing to remember is that it's a deodorant and NOT an antiperspirant -- so you will still sweat while wearing this, which is actually better for you anyway, because it's one of your body's ways of flushing out toxins. Also, it does feel a bit wet when you first apply it, but that has never bothered me -- I quickly got used to it after a couple applications. I love the variety of scents that the company offers; I've tried quite a few of them but my current favourite is their Vanilla Grapefruit scent. I find that it keeps me smelling fresh, and doesn't enhance body odour like some other natural deodorants I've tried in the past have!! I even use it when I go to my hot yoga classes and it keeps me smelling great! I really love that it's an all natural product and that the company does not test on animals -- it makes me feel great about purchasing from this company! I also love that it does not contain any petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates, or parabens! I really love that instead of putting harmful chemicals into my body after shaving and opening my pores I know that I'm using a carefully crafted, all natural product. The only major downsides are the fact that it's not available in drugstores (I buy it from Sephora) and the price -- it is quite a jump from drugstore deodorant prices! I really wish it wasn't so expensive, but for me the pros definitely outweigh the cons. :)

After switching up my deodorant several times and finding that they didn't always have lasting powers, even switching to Old Spice for a month or two because the scent was delicious, I ordered this product in "Vanilla Summer" through the Sephora website and haven't regretted it ever since it came in the mail! The scent is very fresh, fruity, and of course vanilla-like as expected. It goes it nearly clear, a little more damp that other dry stick deodorants, but it dries within seconds and protects against any sort of unwanted bodily scents all through the day. The only semi-downside is the price. It's definitely most than your average drugstore deodorants, but for its effectiveness I would rank it up there with the clinical strength products! A definite recommendation if you can get your hands on it.

I liked that this product is natural, and surprisingly it worked pretty well. It is quite pricey though and since it is so small and gets used up so fast -I would say 'save your money- not worth spending nearly $20 on a two week supply of deodorant

I would never buy this product ever again, I got a sample size of this from sephora and have been completely disappointed. Not only does this product not hold up against a workout, running errands or anything. Do not buy this product.

Love naturals products / the scent is incridible , i feel sexy With this odor on me . I would like a parfume With this odor ! Works well but not if you wanna do Zumba or other training !

I've been using this deodorant for about 2 years and it's my favourite. I've tried coconut vanilla and pure vanilla. My favourite is the Pure Vanilla. It just smells so good. What I like about the deodorant is that it's 100% natural, there is no aluminum and you don't have to scrub to get it to come off. These things are really important to me - especially with breastfeeding when I don't want to poke my baby's nose into anything with a lot of chemicals.

This deo isn't cheap. I buy mine from Sephora for $17 a pop. Occasionally I've found a 2 pack for a slightly lower price.

The one thing I will warn is that if you are a sweater (as I am), you will need to reapply throughout the day. Because it's natural, it wears off faster than most deodorants. But, I've tried so many deodorants and most of them don't work all day for me anyway.

I highly recommend this for anyone who prefers natural products and likes their pits to smell dreamy.
