Being the bergamot lover I am, I'd been eyeing this brand but at the time felt the Kopari deodorant I was already using was a bit expensive at $14. What I had liked about that one was the cruelty free aspect and it didn't streak on clothes, but it also didn't totally prevent odor for me. So, with a Black Friday sale price of $20, and liking the M+G brand story, I went for it late 2023. Two years later, it's all I will use and it's definitely worth the money for me. A stick lasts me nearly a year (I am female, but I'm active and do sweat a lot). The scent is wonderful and it prevents odor for me all day, even if I skipped a shower. I don't ever have a skin reaction to it and it doesn't streak my clothes. The price is more than many people want to pay, but it's an honest, high quality and cruelty free product that works. Rare combo. Read more
The MALIN+GOETZ deodorants smell fresh and sophisticated without being overpowering. The eucalyptus and bergamot versions are crisp and energizing, while the Otto scent feels a bit warmer and more elegant. The formula goes on smoothly, doesn’t irritate my skin, and lasts well through the day for a natural deodorant. It’s a bit pricey, but the clean ingredients and refined scents make it worth it if you prefer something gentle and premium. Read more
So I decided to take a risk and spend 25 bucks on a deodorant based on its claims and the reviews. I did enjoy the light scent and the fact that it did not leave any residue or stains on my shirts. It worked well but did need reapplication throughout the day if sweating a lot, which is understandable and I didn’t mind. But unfortunately for me I would break out into a rash/ irritation after using it for a couple days in a row. But my rating is simply for the fact that when I contacted the company about it, they said they could not help me since I bought it on Amazon, but ironically Amazon can’t help either. So just know that you are taking a risk with buying it if you end up being sensitive or allergic to it since the company will not help you out if you buy it here. Read more
I wanted to switch to a natural deodorant (rather than combined deodorant + antiperspirant) and after doing some research decided to try this one. I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner. The smell is so nice, very earthy/natural. I also have sensitive skin and haven’t had any issues with a rash or negative skin reaction which is great. It works really well and the only time I’ve noticed body odor is if I’ve been stress sweating at work for a while or if I was super active all day - even then I barely notice any BO, it seems to really reduce odor in ways that antiperspirants I’ve used in the past can’t even compare to. Only thing I had to get used to was it does go on a bit wet but that doesn’t bother me, just had to adjust to the feeling. It dries pretty quickly. Read more
Aluminum-free deodorant that actually works for everyday activity. The gel formula goes on clean with zero residue on clothes. Eucalyptus scent is subtle and fresh without being overpowering. Keeps odor at bay through a standard workday and light exercise. Won't survive intense workouts or summer heat the way antiperspirant would, but that's the tradeoff with aluminum-free formulas. If you're switching away from traditional antiperspirants, this is a solid option with realistic expectations. Read more
This is a good light scent and produces no irritation but after having used this on a trip where there were frequent bouts of very warm weather it did not provide cover for my stinky pits. I would not recommend if you sweat easily or for warm weather. Read more
Smells great! not super strong, simple sleek canister Read more
I was super excited to try this product. Natural ingredients and aluminum free. After a few days, I realized by the time I got home from work that this deodorant was not keeping away odors. I have ended up purchasing another brand and it works much better for me. Read more
