a little goes a long way [SEP] this pretty frank natural deodorant has a pretty strong jasmine scent the instructions say to use a piece size amount i didn t read that at first and applied too much making the smell over powering if you use the appropriate amount the smell is not too strong it helps keep you fresh smelling all day keep in mind this does not have anti perspirant in it so it will allow you to sweat however it should help prevent odor i like the fact that this is aluminum free paraben free toxin free and petroleum free it is also free of imitation perfumesso far i like using this product but need to put it to a test on a hot humid day while exercising if that does the trick i will update my review to five stars the weather in my area is very stormy so i am unable to give this a full testing however this has worked for me so far wearing this under normal daily activities
