LUME Whole Body Deodorant - Invisible Cream Tube - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Skin Safe - 3.0 ounce (Pack of 2) (Minted Cucumber)

Afraid of the STINK many are complaining about? Okay...so I tried every single one of Lume's scents and hands down the BEST scent is the one I thought I would like the least, it's the Toasted Coconut. The other scents DO have a strange scent to them upon first application, but honestly ALL of them work, they really do. Here's the secret to using this product, RESIST the temptation to smell the cream straight out of the bottle. Just don't do it. Ewwww! You'll hate it! Instead, just ignore what your nose is telling you and put the stuff on! No! Don't smell your pits immediately! I told you not to! LOL! (I am serious don't do it!)Give it a try and trust the stuff will work and put your clothes on and get dressed. Later when you remove your clothing before bed that's the time to do your scent investigation. Or for the more adventurous among us, have someone else do the scent investigation for you. Sniff those pits or "other" places you chose to slather this stuff all over and I swear these places won't smell at all or they will have a soft lavender, coconut, or whatever scent you chose...even the non-scented one that smells downright putrefying right out of the bottle will not smell at all on your skin after wearing it awhile...instead you'll just be scent-free and smell-free. Give the underarms of your t-shirt a sniff after wearing it all day and you'll only smell lovely lavender, coconut, etc... In fact, this stuff works so well that I asked my husband to use it--on some of his other parts, and WOW holy guacamole am I a believer! ;) After THAT experience he is definitely motivated to use this stuff daily! (You just gotta reward good behavior!) LOL!Finally, to recap, DO NOT try to smell what you're looking for in a scent directly from the bottle or even right after you apply it... it needs time...seasoning for an hour or so, and then you'll be pleased as punch! Delay your need for instant fragrance gratification, modify your expectations for what scents you expect to come from the bottle and instead focus on the outcome (maybe focus on your WHY)...body odor will not occur if you use this after showering. We shower daily so I cannot comment on the 72hr nature of this body deodorant.Oh, and as far as scent choices go, I did try all of the scents and I like the way the toasted coconut mellows out to LATER, lavender mellows out nicely too so it's my second choice and for times that I don't want any scent as no scent is nice too, the unscented version is perfect (but only after time has passed on your skin...definitely a horrible smell after just applying it, but only if you stick your nose up to it. Ignore the scent at first, tell yourself it's going to be ok and let it ride... let it sit and do it's thing and it will disappear into a gorgeous UNSCENTED version. Just don't pay attention to how awful the unscented one is at first, buuuuut I promise you if you give it a few hours you won't be disappointed! I hope this helps you sift through your dilemma when you read ALL the reviews talking about the "stink"... patience grasshopper!

As a temporal anthropologist and enthusiast of pre-Renaissance brass instruments (particularly the sackbut), I routinely travel to 14th-century Europe for immersive field research. Unfortunately, early ventures were cut tragically short — not by the plague, but by the unrelenting stench of the era. Imagine trying to document lute duets while your olfactory system is hijacked by the smell of unwashed peasants, horse dung, and soup made entirely of turnips and regret.Enter: Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Toasted Coconut.I decided to smuggle several tubes back through the quantum rift. Let me tell you — this stuff is alchemy. One dab under each arm and the villagers thought I was a forest nymph or perhaps an angel from Constantinople. The toasted coconut scent wafts gently, subtly, like a tropical breeze drifting through a plague ward. Absolutely mandatory for time-traveling chrononauts to this period!

This was my second time trying this deodorant with a different scent. I will say i like the cucumber mint scent. I also bought the deodorant wipes, which IMO, have a more subtle smell. Since i loved the wipes I wanted to try the deodorant, but it's very strong smelling. While some comments say the smell goes away, for me it doesn't. I use this in my sensitive areas, not my underarms. While clothed i can barely smell it, when not clothed that's all i can smell. Sometimes i have to make a decision if i want to smell that scent all day versus the natural smell. It does the job it says it will, but it's all in what you want to smell like.

I've ordered online twice and once on Amazon. I've tried the unscented, clean tangerine, soft powder, and toasted coconut.The toasted coconut smells sooo good! The subtly sweet coconut smells delicious. It's my favorite of the 4 scents I've tried. Soft powder is my 2nd favorite. It smells very clean and fresh. I love the unscented when I'm wearing a fragrance. And the clean tangerine is fruity and unique as a deodorant scent.I'd like to discuss the bad smell that people are complaining about and I'd like to share which scents I think smell less off-putting when 1st applying. First of all, of all 4 scents that I've tried, none of them stink after you let them DRY! I use a fan to dry the Lumē after applying and after that, there's no bad smell remaining.I don't understand why, if someone knew that it would only smell bad for like a minute or so while it dries, and then after that, it lasts for longer than any other deodorant AND you will be odor-free, why someone wouldn't just choose to endure that time of it not smelling good only while it dries, to then enjoy the lasting benefit Lumē offers! It's SO worth enduring that short time to get the amazing benefit of it. I've read that the active ingredient is what smells bad while Lumē is wet, so they have to put it in there if it's going to be an effective product.But I have to say that I don't think that the toasted coconut smells bad at all when applying. Somehow the coconut seems to neutralize any odor. The soft powder only has that odor slightly while it's wet. The clean tangerine and the unscented that I bought over a year ago (that might be the old formula that smells worse?) does have that yucky smell while wet, but it goes away when dry and then they're both great.I tell everyone about Lume; even people that I dont know, because I love it so much! I wish it was invented when I was younger, but I'm thankful it's around now. Thank you, Shannon, for making it!I really think that some people might not be having success with Lumē because they didn't get the sweat smell completely out of their clothes first. So that's something to consider here, too, when you read any negative reviews.I'm taking the time to write all of this because I believe in this product and I want other people to benefit from it, too.So, if you find it smells yucky when 1st applying, breathe through your mouth until it's dry. That's what I do with the clean tangerine and unscented. Then it's all good!Also, if you need an antiperspirant, Lumē now has a sweat control version. I like aluminum-free because I don't sweat excessively. I even saw how they now have a spray version. I'm not sure if those last 2 products are available on Amazon, but I saw them on their website, for anyone who is interested.I'm such a Lumē fan that I know my review sounds sponsored or something, but I assure you that these are all my own opinions and I haven't received anything in return for sharing my thoughts. I honestly don't feel like the product deserves bad reviews and I think the reason people wrote them is because they didn't give it a real chance, by letting it DRY before judging it and by thoroughly cleaning the sweat smell out of the clothes first. I think if they did those 2 things, there would be more happy customers. Oh, and maybe they should try the sweat control if the complaint is about wetness.I know that was long, but I really hope that helps any new customers!
