worked at first [SEP] so this was a purchase at first i tried the bay rum single order i was not really excited about the smell but is was better than bo so i ran with it had a few issues with it not lasting but i know there is a phase you have get through for your body to adjust for not have the antiperspirant or so i read i figured i would try the lavender next and its a little better but not by much i get everyone likes different smells so i am not bashing whether i like the actually smell but more that it prevents the bo i used it for my arm pits and under my belly the belly sweat did not go well after a few times maybe a week of use there was a weird odor that was coming from that area was not pleasant so i am about weeks of full use not switching to anything else if i sweat then my pits do not get the hour claim of protection i bathe daily and with the heat maybe a day the body odor is not suppressed and i even tried adding a helpful amount to try an prevent i am a bigger guy and sweat sometimes because of anxiety or stress and was really hoping this would help with any unpleasant odors but does not seem to stick
