Schmidt's Moon Flower Natural Deodorant Stick 2.65 Ounce (2 Pack)

So this definitely smells a bit strange... it's floral at first and then finishes with a bit of anise or black licorice. For me, it's not big deal for two reasons. First, for some reason, the scents in deodorants don't really last on me, especially these natural ones. And second, this stuff WORKS!I have a really strong natural body odor and it is way more intense if I'm stressed. It's my body and I accept it but I don't need to impose it on others. So I've been searching high and low for a more natural option (Native, Lume, other wipe on crystal things, and so on) and the Schmidt's line really works for me. The only reason I purchased this scent is because I was confident it would work and the price was too hard to beat. My husband won't wear this scent, so he gets the more expensive other scents and, franlky, doesn't need something that works so well so he'll be using the rest of my other fails.A couple of things -- this has baking soda in it so it IS ABRASIVE. I have found that my tendency is to over apply. I really try to press it against my skin for a solid 5 seconds, then swipe up once and down once. Usually after that, I can gently rub any crumbles off and I really try not to rub anything "into" my skin -- again, it has an abrasive substance in it so if you rub it on your skin, you're probably going to get irritated skin. I know I have!And that's another thing... these deodorants DO seem to create small crumbles. I just apply and then stand over the sink and gently rub or brush the crumbles off. It doesn't bother me but if it that will bother you, probably look elsewhere. For me, the effectiveness of the product makes it impossible for me to dislike it for any reason.

This is the best non-aluminum deodorant I’ve ever found. The scent is unusual, but not unpleasant. Some have said it’s like licorice, but I haven’t found that. It’s sort of floral, but it’s something else I can’t put my finger on. It works, though. I can use it daily or even every other day (on the days I skip a shower) and there has never been any odor. I have tried crystal deodorant, as well as a lot of different types - and none of them worked for controlling odor. This does. It can leave white marks on your clothes, so be careful when putting on a pullover top, but otherwise, it’s the perfect deodorant. I’m on my 4th container of it and I bought some extras to make sure I have it for a while. I hope they never stop making it.

For the people posting pictures of the look of the deodorant- it’s supposed to look like that. Hence “moon” flower… it has a texture/look like the moon….Okay so the reviews seemed so mixed as far as scent goes.. let me give my mixed feelings haha. My initial thought was that the scent was interesting, but honestly didn’t think about it too much at all. No natural deodorant on the market has that overwhelming deodorant scent like traditional-full of bs and toxins-deodorant. So this was no exception, it had a scent but I couldn’t put my finger on what it reminded me of.Then my darling partner was laying NEAR me on the couch and looked up and asked me if I was wearing a new scent… I shared how I bought a new deodorant scent because it was dirt cheap- $12 for a 4 pack. I love this man but he is by no means the most opinionated or observant about such things. He did however share that he very much preferred a different scent and that this scent was very overwhelming to him and smelled “not the greatest”… he has not made a comment on my scent good or bad in almost 6 years of being together. Needless to say, for some people it can be quite pungent.I tolerate it but I will say over time it does have a funky smell to it. It smells like black licorice. Which I enjoy eating but have no desire to smell like it. Over all, won’t buy the moon flower scent again but happy with the price point for my fave natural deodorant!

I have never experienced this with a deodorant. At first it smelled very light and pleasant when I opened the cap and I was so excited that I enjoyed the scent because I ordered this on a risk (not knowing what it smells like beforehand), but the first time I used it, there was such a bad-smelling chemical being released that it had me nauseated badly ALL DAY. I tried it the second time the next day and same thing. I have to keep my arms down the whole time so I don't get a whiff of it, but somehow the scent escapes and I smell it again. I can't compare the scent to anything besides a bad-smelling and nauseating chemical. I wish I could return it, but my 30 days are up, sadly.

It’s crumble-y. It’s grainy. It smells like stale good-n-plenty candies. But y’all - IT WORKS.The smell isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just weird. And the texture is straight up yucky. All that said, I live in Florida and I have tried every natural deodorant available (Native, Curie, Cleo and Coco, Toms, magababe, Myro, etc) and ALL of them left me stinky by lunch time. Not Schmidt’s Moon Flower tho!! Hot yoga? No problem. Day at the beach? You’re all set. Outdoor wedding in July? No BO!! And this stuff is CHEAP compared to other brands that don’t work half as well..If you can get past the smell and texture - which is a bit of a challenge - then you won’t regret this purchase, because it does tame smelly pits!!

This natural deodorant works so much better than all the other natural brands I’ve tried. It does have baking soda in it which is fine for me but some may not like the feel. It does clump a kettle but can be smoothed quickly. The other scents they carry are equally as good. I’ve like to try different ones and have not found any of this brand lacking. The ones with baking soda work the best.

I like the fact that this product is long acting, and the smell is pleasant. The one drawback for this product is that you have to hold the deodorant to your arm to warm it up before it will spread. Do not force it like I did, since not waiting got me a little sensitive spot under my arm.This is my 3rd time buying this, and I will buy is again.
