Nubian HeritageAluminum-Free Deodorant, Patchouli & Buriti – Natural Deodorant with Organic Shea Butter, Rosehip Oil, and Aloe Vera, 2.25 Oz

Works perfectly. Nice smell.

I tried going aluminum free a few times with no success - Native, Harry's, some of the older brands back in the day. All left me embarrassed and warning everyone around me that I smelled bad while I reapplied every 5 minutes. I did some research before this and discovered it might've been due to the baking soda, and after looking for some patchouli and baking soda free scents decided to take a stab with this.As a heads up I don't use this alone. At night I dab a small amount of Lumi on my pits after showering then use this during the day. I reapply after my afternoon workout. So far though aside from that it smells divine and lasts all day. I still have yet to weather summer but absolutely no odor (I wore the others during WINTER and they left me smelling line I ran a 5K and never showered). Buying this in bulk!!Bonus - I have very sensitive skin and no rashes!

I've been using natural deodorants for the past two years. I admit, it's hard to find a good one that holds up throughout the day without sweat and smell sneaking through. I'm a female in my mid-40s and my hormones are not playing nice these days. This deodorant came to the rescue with a wonderful smell, smooth application, and minimal wetness throughout the day. Remember, it is natural, not a miracle worker, so on days when I'm more active or stressed out, I need a mid-day application to avoid embarrassing moments.The smell is not as "patchouli" as I had hoped, but does have a very pleasant, natural smell. My 13-year old daughter had to use it in a pinch, and now insists on this one in her athletic bag. Our favorite before this one was Native. Not anymore. This one outlasts, dries quicker upon application, and smells much better. I also really like the Nubian lotions and body butters. They're great for people with sensitive skin.

I like this stuff, especially the scent. It works well for me, but I am not out in the heat much.Be warned that the last time I ordered it took forever to get this- delay after delay. I can't for sure blame the seller - Not sure what the deal was, but I thought I would never see it and I was ready to cancel the order the day it arrived at last.

Personally, I really enjoyed this product. It worked well to combat odor and leave me smelling nice, but I have to be sparing when I apply it because my skin is very sensitive and it can be a little irritating. Still, Patchouli and Buriti by Nubian Heritage will always be my comfort scent!

I think they’ve changed the formula over the years because this “used” to be my favorite deodorant. I was a big fan of the Shea butter formula for ten years (which I loved and they seem to not carry it in stores or online anymore) and over the past several years I’ve had trouble finding it. And if I did, the product just doesn’t hold up for 24 hours anymore like it used to. I’m one of those that’s still hanging around and hoping that maybe another scent will work. I tried several and currently trying this patchouli formula. I put it on in the morning and by the afternoon I smelled like a burly man just after a workout. I’ve pretty much tried all of their scents and they are either too perfume-y or glide on wet or both, and I have to use a tissue to pat my underarms of the moisture before getting dressed. All of the Nubian deodorants have gone down in quality over the years in my opinion. It’s not the same.

This particular deodorant stick may be old, I don't know. First time user.The stick is very hard and dry and drags across the skin. Never sure of getting enough on.The patchouli scent is very light and absolutely no carryover while wearing.I'm hoping, with use, that the deodorant stick softens up and becomes easier to apply.

Healthier personal care products and food choices are key to a better quality of life.This deodorant is one of my favorite products that uses the good stuff and leaves out the nasty chemicals.
