great concept does not prevent odor for me [SEP] i have been on the hunt for a natural deodorant for forever i think this is the one i have tried i am also trying to cut back on plastic and packaging so really like the solid form of this the scent of the bar itself is great super light fresh and subtle however this does not protect me from odor at all i did a test using it on one pit and nothing on the other and switched pits the next day in case one of my pits is stinkier than the other in both cases i was equally smelly by the end of the day considering how pricey this bar is i am pretty disappointed that it was not a good fit for me
