I just need something that doesn’t turn my jacket arms blue, which has apparently been happening. What do I buy for that?

Might you be using an aluminium based stick? I know there can sometimes be a chemical reaction, although I don't know how you would get blue stains.

i legit dont sweat when i workout. you have to nearly kill me in a hot ass room for me to get sweaty. like i can bust out a crossfit metcon and just be a little damp.

Was staining my Tommy John undershirts with regular deodorant. Switched to this stuff. Seems to work as advertised.

I really think instead of worrying so much about the brand of antiperspirant/deodorant you're using, you should just apply your antiperspirant at night before you go to sleep. They're actually more effective that way, and you don't have to worry about them staining your clothes.

Not really worried about perspiring, just smelling. Simple deodorant works well and doesn't stain my shirts.

I don't understand using anything else. I've tried a bunch and this is the best.

I tried ordering some on Amazon through a third party, but it never arrived. Opted to get some other natural deodorant at Whole Foods instead because I didn't want to wait any longer.

I may decide to pony up for M+G or Aesop if they really are effective for at least half a day. For me, one side can smell more than the other and the ones I've used only tend to last for a few hours max.

That’s what I was wondering, whether it’s some kind of chemical thing that can be avoided, or if the colors are just smearing because of sweat.

i'm a pretty sweaty guy and have had reasonable success with dove stain defense. keeps me dry and does as it says, no issues on my shirts in over a year. it's relatively cheap and potent so a light spray lasts all day.

@kjb so you're sayin' you just spray this on in the morning n you don't sweat/smell AND it doesn't stain?

yeah i'd say it works pretty well for me. a light spray in the morning and no real issues with smell or sweat, and nothing on my shirts. i don't wear undershirts either so this has been a nice find.

From your resident lover of 95+ degree weather, what keeps me smelling great is some Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and:

My favourite scent!

Have you tried any of the 1821 products? I use the bodywash and hair putty - has a scent very very similar to the above. They even make a cologne which smells close to TF at first.
