Aromaco

From the day I hit puberty, there was not an antiperspirant or deodorant that could make friends with my underarms. Antiperspirant would leave my skin sore and irritated (and still slightly funky smelling under the floral nonsense), deodorant would smell like someone tried to cover up chili farts with the last gasps of a terrible chemical air freshener. I made the move to natural deodorant almost by accident after I received some as a bridesmaid gift, and I liked it a lot better than the regular stuff, but I still smelled funky by the end of the day. Enter this deodorant; y'all, I have worked a triple shift, and come home to pits that DO NOT SMELL, more than 24 hours after application! Can't get a better recommendation than that.

I love this product. I've been using it for about 4 years. It smells divine, like sandalwood and patchouli bliss with herbal undertones. It took about 2 weeks to adjust from stick deodorant, it was worth it as my pits remain fresh all year round. I keep mine in an empty paprika tin. Complements Karma and Sikkim Girls perfumes well, but doesn't overpower more floral/sweet scents either. Can't wait till it's back in stock.

I've been against conventional antipersps and deods for some time. This is a wonderful alternative. If I'm not taking a shower, I usually wash my pits in the morning (like they used to do in the old days, remember A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?). Against instructions, I wet the bar. It still has a de-odorizing effect, and no abrasion. The bar lasts a long time and I like the scent. I just leave it out in a little tray (left over from rock salt deods, which I also use occasionally). I'm a little bummed Aromaco is on back order, but I can wait.

This is my first natural deodorant, so keep that in mind. The smell was too strong for me and I could tell those around me did not enjoy it either lol. I am moderately active (running) and this did not hold up for me. I very much appreciate the zero waste aspect, but I think overall, it was ineffective.

It works.... but it's just not fun to apply. It's very hard and it recommends to put on when skin is dry, but it doesn't apply well for dry skin, so I dampen the skin just a bit. Otherwise, I'm basically exfoliating my armpit and the product doesn't stay well (this may be TMI- but the exfoliated dead skin then stays on the product.... yuck). With that, it's definitely not for long wear. I have to reapply after 4-6 hours. It's become more a hassle than helpful.

I've been using natural deodorant for a few months now. I hadn't found my perfect match, yet. I decided to order this with a big Lush order, but unfortunately it is not for sensitive skin. I was up in pain and have red marks and welts on my underarms from using this one time. Whatever is in it has a very different reaction than typical natural deodorants. I'm disappointed because I typically love Lush products.

After having and using this on and off for a month, the smell has changed slightly and it's muskier, and even though I didn't really like the scent as much before it's a bit worse now. The smell transfers onto my underarms and smells weird all day so I wouldn't recommend this one anymore. Great at first but not so much now.

Wow! I was worried about Aromaco because people said it became hard, but after two months of use, it's still amazing and I've barely made a dent in the product! I keep mine lightly wrapped in the original wrapper, and seal it in one of my old containers. It's such a great deal I can see it lasting for a year or more! It smells so good - like patchouli - and would be good for men and women alike. I will say that I wish it did not have baking soda, as I have sensitive skin, but once my skin was used to the product (a couple weeks) I was fine. I use this daily and find I don't need to reapply. Not to mention, I actually don't sweat! As a generally sweaty person, I have struggled with some natural deodorants, but not Aromaco! I would highly recommend for anyone and I truly hope Lush hasn't discontinued.

It's easy to use - rubs on just like a stick deodorant. Once it warms up against the skin it glides smoothly. I grew to love the scent too, it's so unique and it lasts all day. Considering this was my first time trying package free products, I absolutely love the aromaco ! Will definitely keep buying as long as it's available.

Read reviews and decided to try. Really like the minimal packaging - I keep mine in one of the empty RubRubRub containers, lightly wrapped in the original packaging. Other reviews reported difficulty applying when it got too dry. The container keeps it in good shape; if it feels a little dry, I quickly rub it across my palm a time or two and it applies just fine. I also use it right after my shower and that helps. It has lasted a long time. To me the scent is light and natural, and it works well for my level of sweating.
