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.

Longest lasting bar I can remember. No residue. Blocks oder with minimal scent. Won't compete with your cologne of choice. Quality, sturdy and soft housing. A confident repurchase!

Like what other people said, I can understand why someone might not be able to get the best everlasting odor protection if they do a lot of strenuous movements throughout the day. I usually don’t have to deal with that because I do a bit of strenuous activity in the morning and then shower afterwards before putting on this deodorant. Which smells very nice for the first, I’d say, two or three hours. Now this may sound like not enough, but to be honest other deodorants, even one’s that smell very “loud,” fade and don’t last much longer than that, either. It also does the trick throughout the day of keeping the bad smell away even if the nice smell is very faint. The smell itself also is not the strongest, but smells very natural and clean. Less is more sometimes and it still does the trick. It’s quite an intriguing smell, and I personally feel sexy wearing this deodorant.Like imagine just a minute, you’re a Wolverine out in the forest but. This time you actually washed your ass beforehand and so you smell like a fresh and fierce but also cute wolverine. but still too sharp for anyone to want to double-cross. that’s what this smells likeThat brings me to my last point. I also add my perfume/cologne on at the same time of adding this deodorant and I feel like this particular deodorant (the one with bergamot) wouldn’t work with two out of three, of my more feminine perfumes. I’d definitely be considering trying another one once this one is done to see if another one is a little more universal or on the more feminine side. It’s ultimately a really nice deodorant and would DEFINITELY get it again.One more thing I forgot to mention is that sometimes it’s wet when you put it on. It IS a BIT weird, but it dries and is a very minor issue for me.

The only real positive to this are the scents. They smell nice, they don't last anywhere near as long as stated. I tried seeing if I could get past some of the irritation, seeing as it's something new I switched to, but after a month of using it daily, I eventually noticed my armpits much darker with red rings. I tried two of them, thinking maybe it was that i had an itchy reaction to. Nope. I WOULD not recommend this product. Unfortunate waste of $40.

I've been on an aluminum free non antiperspirant deo kick for about 3 years now. I've used 3 other popular brands, and so far I think Oars + Alps in my fav! It has a pretty good sent, not over powering, and its applied clear, plus no sticky icky feeling once applied. Just note, this deo like all other non antiperspirant products don't last 12-24 hours. This has a pretty good pit life... I can go all day (8-10) hours feelin and smellin "so fresh and so clean" (in my OutKast voice), but definitely don't think you're going to leave the gym or the Texas heat without needing a re-application... but again, this is with all non antiperspirant deos. I'm definitely re-uppin Oars + Alps when I get low. The price point and the product quality is worth it. Check it out!

Doesn't really work as a deodorant for me. Smells nice and I like that it doesn't have aluminum in it but there are better brands out there.

Love this brand, I like most of the scents. The deodorant is my go to for the last 3 years and hopefully it will be around for 50 more years

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.

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.

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

Bought this because I was sick of ruining shirts as the armpits get stained when using the usual anti-perspirant as I work in the Middle East. It’s got a nice fragrance too. I don’t use anything else now.

The smell is so good. Barely have mark on the clothes
