Men's anti-perspirants - which do you use?

I have always used 'fresh' smelling ones like Vaseline Intensive Care or Right Guard 3D Invisible Roll-On.

I don't like anything with a musky smell at all.

Can anyone recommend any others worth trying, bearing in mind I prefer fresh, light smells?

PS Before you mention them, have never found a Lynx smell that I like.
 
lynx is amusing referred to in Ross O'Carroll Kelly books as "skobie shower" - that said I persist with Africa roll on. Roll on cos its more environmental innit, pity they put SFA into each "bottle" though!!

yearrah plenty of washing & au naturale .... equine perspirers excluded
 
Once upon a time Imperial leather did a good one but don't see it any more.

I've tried them all. These days, there is only one for me:

Nivea for men roll on.

Fresh smelling (in fact there is a variant of this called 'fresh' or 'cool' I think and it's the nicer one IMO) minimal white marks, no alcohol and very effective IME.

I've been using this for years now.
 
Whatever the Lidl roll-on one is called. No smell off it and no smell off me, perfect!
 
I used to swear by Sure roll on. Then they came out with a new and improve version, which used to stain my clothes and was quite sticky.
 
used dove anti-persiperant recently and found that quite good. spray can, no marks on clothes, bit a whiff off it but nothing too over powering. also sure for men is good. lynx reminds me my teenage years, ah the good times down the back of the disco quivering like a mess working up the courage to ask the girls.........
 
Don't like anti-perspirants - I look for deodorants that aren't anti-perspirants, which seem to be few and far between. Gilette seems to be the only option at the moment.

Strange. My impression was that there are loads of these around. In fact until I settled on Nivea I had the opposite problem - constantly checking to make sure what I was buying was also an anti-perspirant and not just a deodorant.

Why not? Is this tied into the scary e-mail that did the rounds a few years back? I thought that was all knocked on the head?

There are loads of them about.

In fact I'd say there are more plain deo's than anti-pers's.

I have mistakenly lifted quite a few roll-ons in recent months that I believed were anti's, only to discover they were plain old deo's.

Nah, much more mundane than that.

Sweating is the body's mechanism of losing heat. I take the view that when you need to sweat, you need to sweat.

Deodorant makes sure my sweating doesn't impact others.
 
Anyone else, like me, who doesn't sweat and doesn't need deodorant? Maybe I'm odd (alone in the Universe, like Gonzo).
