Sad to say, the stick version isn’t the Lume I know & love [SEP] I’ve been using the cream Lume for several years now. It’s the only deodorant that has ever worked for me and is worth the hefty price tag. I decided to try the stick as a less messy means of application. Sadly, the stick isn’t effective like the cream. I’ll admit it smells nicer than the cream does, but after only 12 hours, I had underarm odor. Using the cream I have zero body odor until I shower.
