Deodorants are very hit and miss, they can work for a while and then suddenly stop. This can be for many reasons such as the brand trying new formulations and of course the natural changes that our bodies have over time. Hi hormones, yup I am talking to you!
The whole natural movement needs to be looked at with a critical eye though, as it has its own pros and cons. Plus, they can be pretty expensive and not live up to its claims.
Thanks to ChickAdvisor, I was able to try out a sample of Schmidt's Deodorant in the scent Rose and Vanilla.
WOWZERS... this scent is strong! Opening up the lid, you are hit with the smell of roses right off the bat. I honestly couldn’t smell any vanilla but after a few more times of sniffing, it was there, or shall I say barely there.
The application stick was easy to use, just twist once or twice for the product to come to the top, and then swipe each underarm area.
After approximately 8 hours of wear-time today, doing house chores, cooking, and getting in my daily exercise, I’m STILL smelling like roses.
PROS
✔Glides on easily
✔Texture is good. No stickiness or residue left on the skin or my clothing
✔Somewhat effective at curbing sweat, a little goes a long way (I didn’t need to re-apply at all)
✔Cruelty-free
✔Sensitive skin friendly (this may depend on each person as certain scents can evoke an allergic reaction whether synthetic or natural – so still be cautious of a reaction - I usually prefer everything I put on my body to be totally fragrance-free)
✔Reasonably priced, in comparison to many other natural deodorants on the market
Other aspects that may appeal to you: Cruelty-Free (Leaping Bunny Certified) and Certified Vegan

CONS
❌This particular scent is too strong (although others may like it) for me. If they could reformulate, I would like something much more milder, maybe less rose, more vanilla. I feel like if I was out in public at an appointment where they have a “scent-free” environment, I’d be asked to leave because it is that potent. Wheeewie!
❌ A bit of that "sweaty" feeling (not scent though) after a few hours in.

So would I ditch my other deodorants and go by this one? Probably not yet. The scent for me is just too overpowering. However, it is so far fairly effective at keeping sweat at bay, so maybe another scent has potential.
