The problem is, they've also cranked up the scent and aluminum burn another notch, now to intolerable levels. Unfortunately, the 25% less performing deodorant isn't available anymore. So I have to abandon my deodorant and look for something different. Like the backpacks, things are a little different than I expected. Here's what I found:
- An antiperspirant whose scent was "Power". Yes, you can smell like power. It's like male privilege in deodorant form.
- Other odd scents: "Clean", "Ice", "Active", "Fresh Shower". ("Wow, you really do smell like ice!")
- Lots of super-EXTREME protection. Do I really smell so bad that I need EXTREME protection?
- I saw an unscented deodorant. Score! Unfortunately, it's the white flaky kind.
- Very few non-antiperspirants.
- There was also one brand that didn't have the aluminum crap in it, but I couldn't tell if it was for men or women....until I found they offered a "lavender" scent.
So I bought a few (not pictured). Hopefully I'll find something that will suit me for another 10 years. ;-)
