Viking Revolution Sandalwood Deodorant for Men - Aluminum Free with Shea Butter and Tapioca Starch - Stain- Free and Baking Soda-Free - Natural Deodorant for Men (2.65oz)

What in the name of complaints is going on here? I read all the reviews and then I bought it. I love this brand. Yes, it doesn't stay up, that's the point. Otherwise you'd smash it. No, you don't squeeze it guys. Slide it up, put your ring finger under it and use it. It's a deodorant not an antiperspirant. So yes you will still sweat. It smells great and does last a few hours. Just try it. Mother Earth will thank you.

Thought I would try this deodorant a mistake. Bought it in 12/2024 - thought I'd give it a chance before I reviewed it. It neither resembles anything said about it in the company write up on Amazon nor works at all as a deodorant. I am glad that one person liked it because it is cardboard and thus saves trees (my words interpreting what reviewer says). However, it does not save my armpits from smelling like they had no deodorant; i. e. it does not work. I am 85, switched from Mitchum (which always works especially in the modified formula) to see if the scent which people. The cardboard container is lousy, the deodorant stick part does not stay up - either have to put fingers in to hold it up or squeeze card board container to do so. Almost everything I buy on Amazon over the past years that I have taken the time to rate gets a 5, occasional 4 - first time I ever rated something a 1. This is it - does not work as advertised, shoddy cardboard container, and the fact that it advertises no aluminum is a come on for probably some purchasers here. I did not buy it for the "no" aluminum because aluminum is not harmful as virtually all tests over the years have shown especially as now formulated. There is not one single reliable study that has shown this - I am back to Mitchum which will show as a purchase for me recently on Amazon. Thought I'd "pretty up" my arm pits for wife of 60 years (come June) but she noticed it did not work good; and noticed the contortions I have to make to hold deodorant stick up. Sorry, know the makers are trying, dont know why Amazon put it on site. I guess in this day of so many bad crowd funding products this might fit in as a bad crowdfunding product if that's how it came about.

Update 1/25/25: seller gave me a full refund after I expressed my concerns and I hope they can fix some of the issues I mentioned. So I upgraded their rating to 4 stars for a wonderful customer service move.smells good but the stick doesn't hold steady, I have to use one finger underneath to push the deodorant up otherwise it keeps slipping down into its casing. Also page says natural ingredients but on the label it says "synthetic beewax". It shouldn't be synthetic if it's natural, maybe its a hybrid or something.The design needs a fix otherwise it's a pain using this product just to spread deodorant on.

✅ Qué me gustóMe encantó que este desodorante sea totalmente natural y libre de aluminio y bicarbonato. Tiene un aroma suave y amaderado a sándalo que se siente limpio y masculino sin ser invasivo. Ideal para personas con piel sensible o que no toleran los desodorantes convencionales. Además, contiene manteca de karité y almidón de tapioca, lo que ayuda a mantener la piel hidratada y seca sin bloquear los poros.⚠️ Qué no me gustóEn climas muy calurosos, puede que necesites reaplicarlo al final del día si eres muy activo, ya que no tiene químicos fuertes. Aun así, sigue siendo muy efectivo para el uso diario.📦 Calidad del empaque o envíoEl empaque es muy original y elegante. Llegó en perfectas condiciones, bien sellado y sin daños. Además, el diseño del envase es práctico y cómodo de usar.🔁 ¿Lo volvería a comprar?Sí, absolutamente. Es una excelente opción para quienes buscan una alternativa saludable y efectiva al desodorante tradicional. Ya forma parte de mi rutina diaria.

First off, this is a well made product and I feel bad giving it 3 stars, but 3 stars are the most honest reviews, and here is my honest take:I like the packaging and branding. I ordered a sampler pack of their solid colognes and liked the Oud scent, so I went ahead and purchased the beard oil, balm, full-size solid cologne and the Oud deodorant. Out of the tube, the deodorant smells great; however, I believe the main ingredient reacts poorly with my body’s chemistry.Within minutes, my armpits and shirt just smell acrid and nasty. I had just showered and my wife thought one our tweens had BO, but I’m sure it was me.All of the other products are good. The balm, oil, and cologne seem to blend right in to my natural aroma, though I do think the cologne is a bit weak. I use it as more of a skin conditioner, applying a much larger quantity than recommended to my arms and legs. The smell is barely noticeable after a few minutes, which is fine. It seems to be a good “neutralizer” for the bad smells and leaves me smelling clean and slightly woodsy.TLDR; it’s a nice scent, but it reacts badly in my underarm environment. If you know the acrid smell I’m talking about from using other products, avoid this one.

I purchased the Coffee & Whiskey scent. Smells great when you first open it up and put it on. Once you start to sweat, the scent is terrible. I would shower in the morning, apply the deodorant, and head out the door. My job is fairly inactive but it's pretty warm in the office and I run warm most of the time anyway. Either way, sitting in an office chair should not give my pits a reason to smell like they haven't been washed in over a month. I tried everything while showering to make sure the pits were clean. The stench started to stick around even after a shower. I've not been able to finish the stick because I cannot get past the insane body odor this deodorant puts off. This is not a deodorant as it does not deodorize.
