Oars + Alps Aluminum Free Men's Deodorant, Clear + No Residue, 1pk, 2.6oz

Smells amazing!!! Does not leave a crazy white cast when applied, if you wear multiple layers or a lot it will leave a bit of one but not like other white deodorants where it’s a big layer of white cream on your armpit. The ingredients are great and I feel good about using it. Did I mention it smells incredible! I love using this deodorant and will purchase again in the future.

For decades I have tried numerous deodorant products that claimed their product would not stain undershirts. ALL failed to live up to their claim. I also spent hundreds of dollars replacing stained undershirts. In December 2025 my wife purchased Oars+Alps Deodorant and gave it to me for Christmas. I am very happy to report it WORKS!!! It has been nearly nine months and not one undershirt or tee shirt has been stained, and the fragrance is clean and manly. Stop spending your money on those cheap perfume deodorants that are advertised on TV or in sports magazines. Once you use this product you also will be happy to submit a favorable review. DM

So far so good - though the scents are very faint, and the odor protection doesn't last as long as traditional antiperspirant/deodorant products. This is not a miracle product, but no aluminum-free natural deodorant will be. I've tried several competing products and this one seems to balance the best of all worlds. Whereas other similar products tend to have overbearing, cheap-smelling perfume scents intended to mask body odor, every Oars & Alps scent is very pleasant and sophisticated comparatively ("California Coast" and "Eucalyptus Spearmint" are particularly nice) - however very subtle, and don't last very long. The scents last a couple hours at most. However, the natural odor protection ingredients generally do a fine job of keeping body odor to a minimum for most of the day - though re-application is necessary on hot or active/gym days. The product also goes on clear, which prevents short and long term staining of clothing - a key attribute I require in a natural deodorant. My main gripe about this product is the package and applicator design. The package and applicator is cylindrical (like a small, mini can of soda), and the surface area of the product is round and quite small (as if designed for a small woman, or a child). This makes application difficult, as you can't make a few easy up-down swipes - rather, you need to swipe the product in several directions or in a zig-zag motion across the underarm. I haven't quite settled on a technique that works best - maybe a swirling motion? I wish the package and applicator had the flat, elongated/oval shape of a traditional deodorant for easier application. Also, the cylindrical plastic packaging itself is oddly thick and heavy - very heavy, like a small grenade or something - and the top doesn't simply snap on and off, rather it screws on and off. It makes the product feel "premium" but it's a bit excessive.

If you are coming from a mass-market anti-perspirant, this review will only be somewhat helpful for you. Your body will have to adjust to a non-anti-perspirant deodorant first, then a “natural” deodorant on top of that. It will take a few weeks like the Oars and Alps product listing states. I’d recommend finding a mass-market deodorant (only) first, use that for a while, then go to a natural deodorant. Why? Natural deodorants can be irritating to the skin and you don’t want to deal with too many transition issues all at once. I’ve been using non-anti-perspirant deodorant for nearly 10 years. I have tried at least 15 natural deodorant brands over that time, usually coming back to a conventional deodorant because the natural deodorant either: stopped suppressing odor before early afternoon, or irritated the daylights out of my skin (baking soda bad!), or couldn’t be applied without feeling like a piece of crumbly chalk. I’ll leave financials out of this for now since all the naturals did one of the above regardless of price point. I sort of found one natural that was still chalky, but at least suppressed odor nearly all day and didn’t irritate my skin by drying it out, but did cause breakouts! Well, Oars and Alps finally does everything I want it to do. I will say to anybody trying this for the first time to give it two weeks. And that two weeks is AFTER having already transitioned from your anti-perspirant to an intermediary mass market deodorant and having gone through the “detox” process. The first week I switched to O+A, I did have some redness and dryness to my pit skin, but it went away in week two. I’m glad I stuck it out. The O+A deodorant smells great, works all day, goes on smoothly, doesn’t cause breakouts, and lasts longer than many other deodorants, natural or not. Thank goodness … the search is over! (Please O+A, don’t change your formula). Now we get to a sticky subject, which is price. O+A is about twice as expensive per unit than even the already expensive natural deodorants. That might be a deal breaker for some, and that’s a fair reason. I do think O+A lasts a week or two longer than most, but I haven’t actually measured that, and the reason could totally just be there’s more product in a typical unit sold. I think there are a lot of people that will find O+A deodorant to be worth the premium. It will change your mind about natural deodorants. If you’re committed to the idea of using a natural deodorant but don't want to compromise, give this stuff a shot but stay patient to let it work without irritation after proper transitioning.

Smells good(ocean splash) but nothing special, your generic blue/aquatic scent, which i like……but that’s where it ends. I have never worn antiperspirants so I didn’t need any detox period or whatever made up nonsense they come up with to make you think a product that doesent work for you is working lol but I digress. That being said I’ve still given this several weeks to work……it didn’t. I’m not very hairy and even when I sweat profusely I’m still not that smelly. The scent is weak and gone within 20 minutes and I can lift my arm and smell B.O. within a a couple hours and that’s without any strenuous activity. I don’t really care that much about the scent longevity but if the actual product isn’t going to do anything about the bacteria which causes the smell then a longer lasting scent to cover it would be nice. Many natural deodorants work on this premise so I don’t see why they haven’t done this here. So in closing the formula doesent work to neutralize the bacteria which causes the odor and the scent is too weak to mask it. Remember this is coming from someone who is at the low end of the “smelly” spectrum lol and it didn’t work for me so I can only imagine how bad it would be for someone at the high end. I got it for $10 on sale which I think is still way too overpriced for deodorant so the normal $15 or whatever it normally is astounding. Everyone’s body chemistry IS different though so it may work for some……flip of an expensive coin Good Luck. One star for the scent.

I purchased this deodorant back in November and, by the end of January just a few months later, the deodorant was effectively emptied as the roll would no longer rise no matter how many twists I made to the bottom of the container. The weight of it is misleading as it feels like there should be way more to use, but there is not. In fact, I might as well just keep it around in case of an intruder because it feels like a hefty rock that could shatter something. This was the first roll-on type of deodorant that I used and I've come to realize that I much prefer stick deodorant as the stick at least lasts more than a few months before I need to replace it. I suppose this is one product which would benefit from Amazon's 'subscribe & save' feature where you should have it automatically delivered every two to three months if you really do enjoy this particular deodorant and were a daily user of it like I was. I'm also not sure the deodorant really persisted as long as I'd have liked it to, as I could sometimes smell myself before my eight-hour shift (I work outside all day) concluded. I'm not at all dissatisfied with the deodorant and it was perhaps one of the better scented deodorants I've used thus far, but it can't be something that sits on my shelf for only two months before I need a replacement. Stick based deodorant is far more durable in that regard so I'll be moving to that after trying this.

When I sweat, I sweat! My day to day I am very active and when I am one of those humans who sweat a lot. Previously I was using Dove Men's deodorant and overall it worked but I was ruining my shirts with white marks under the arms I also had some irritation at times. I tried Oars + Alps after randomly finding it while searching for good deodorants to try. It is a little pricy, and it wasn't an overnight success. The first few days I did notice some BO by about halfway through my day. Nothing revolting and honestly I had to sniff for it. A few more days (probably a week after using) I noticed the smell only under one arm. Now I am about 3-4 weeks into using it and I can go all day with out noticing the BO smell. Overall the product is pleasant, has not caused any skin irritation, and best of all my shirts are saved! I purposely purchased a bunch of new undershirts and not a single one is stained.

Great smell and it didn’t make my underarms red or peel. I used it for about 3 months and threw it out. The biggest problem with this deodorant is that it does nothing for odor. Even if you shower once a day and apply. You’ll have to re- apply several times a day. In a few hours you can smell yourself and I work a desk job. So no exercise or anything. If you want to constantly worry about stinking around others then go and waste money on this. Great idea but not an effective product. Just sad.

Because it was a twin pack the second one once opened did not screw up so is defective and ive missed the return window of time can you help .

The scenes smell great and natural. The deo doesn't leave any marks on my shirts which is highly appreciated. The deo doesn't last long at all. Special on us brown folk that trend to expire more often.

excellent

this deo might not be for everyone, as for me my skin got iritated and got body odor after use which I seldom have from my previous deodorant

se siente bien al aplicarlo
