Support NeoGAF

[JMizzlin]

I moved to America late last year and didn't bring any of my fragrances with me. In an effort to save money over the past few months I've been purchasing Axe as a simple deodorant, however feel it's time for a change with a longer-lasting, stronger scent.

I've tried very types of Axe and although I got generally good feedback I'm just bored and need a change. So far this has been my favourite:

Now I'm not talking cologne or aftershave and definitely don't want to break the bank. Just wondering what (<$20) deodorant the scent enthusiasts of GAF use and what I should invest in next.

speed stick

 

[frankie_baby]

Lynx

You're telling me there is deodorant over 20 dollars? I just buy speed stick, tried Old Spice once and had a terrible rash for like a week.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

i use dove.

 

[giga]

Not a fan of spray deodorants. Old Spice high endurance has worked well for me.

 

[gamma]

Go with the scent of nature, as God intended.

 

[Magni]

Anything that isn't Axe.

Spoiler

I thought nobody used that after middle school :/

i use dove.

This. Oh, and stick >>>>> spray.

 

[Devolution]

i use dove.

?

 

[lunchtoast]

I use this on my days off

And any anti-perspirant on my work days that doesn't smell weird.

I've always used some variant of Degree or other, because I find them to have just enough of a scent but not all in your face.

 

[blainethemono]

Mitchum unscented

Mitchum unscented

And pick a nice cologne.

Degree Adrenaline will last a very long time (48hrs) but you have to be really careful. It powders bad and gets everywhere including your clothes and you will probably end up tasting it throughout the day unintentionally. BLECH!

Mitchum unscented worked really well for me then my body chemistry changed and it didn't last very long.

Same thing with Dove for Men, doesn't last throughout the day any longer.

I have been using Degree Dry Protection (clear stick) most consistently and it holds up well.

 

[heliconsoul]

Roll-ons are far, far better than spray-ons. Especially Lynx (Axe or whatever you call it).

L'Oreal Men Expert Carbon is great, if you can get it stateside?

 

[gryz]

everything is an alternative to Axe. please don't use axe.

I personally go for the original old spice non antiperspirant.

 

[Raptomex]

speed stick

.

 

[rekameohs]

Axe is horrible, as is spray deodorant in general. Just go with Speed Stick or something. It's perfectly fine.

 

[xxracerxx]

Anything.


I use Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant and smell amazing.

Edit: Oh and most "scents" aka cologne smells awful to me and I would never use any.

 

[big_z]

Mitchum unscented

This is the only correct answer. Not only does it work really well but you won't over stink of fragrance.

 

[FairyD]

Nothing! Let the scent of musk be your deodorant.

 

[ipitydatfu]

arm and hammer deodorants

 

[Eric C]

 

[GhostRidah]

Old spice After Hours, I get really good feedback from it and I think it smells amazing.

 

[edgefusion]

Literally anything else unless your aim is to smell like a teenage boy.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

+1 for Old Spice.

Though I'd personally recommend:

if you don't mind spending a bit more.

[You Are Viewtiful]

i use dove.

Get Dove Clean and Comfort Deodourant, none of that Aqua Impact crap that I picked up because Clean and Comfort was sold out

 

[entremet]

I love Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus deodorant. Aluminum free as well.

 

[Bread]

old spice swagger smells amazing, that's what i use

 

[Erasus]

I just use Nivea stick deo.

There are deodorants for over 20$?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

old spice swagger smells amazing, that's what i use

Yep, been my go to choice for 2 years now.

 

[lunchtoast]

I love Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus deodorant. Aluminum free as well.

Is it worth 25$? A few amazon reviews says it doesn't last that long. I wouldn't mind having a natural deodorant that lasts 12+ hours.

 

[captmorgan]

Old spice.

Plus it has the benefits of finding all the girls with "daddy issues"

 

[Zeke]

i use dove.

+1

 

[Steelrain]

Anything without that aluminum shit in it. Ruined a few shirts I used to love Old Spice after hours until I noticed it was fucking up my shirts.

I use Speed Stick now.

It lasts a bit yeah.

 

[LogicStep]

Not a fan of spray deodorants. Old Spice high endurance has worked well for me.

Same. Wonderful and smells great.

 

[Community Forum]

Use an anti-perspirant before bed, wash it off during morning shower, and apply deodorant.

No more ruined shirts.

 

[Victory Red]

You're welcome

 

[EviLore]

Mineral stone deodorant + a good cologne is the way to go.

 

[RiccochetJ]

*dove for men*

This stuff is really good imo. I switched over to it from Mitchums.

 

[Asimov]

Old Spice - Original Scent

 

[injurai]

Mineral stone deodorant + a good cologne is the way to go.

but that doesn't include an antiperspirant

You have my sword, sir.

 

[Rookje]

Ugh, Axe is vile. Some guy legit sprays himself with that for at least 30 seconds after every gym session.

Really anything is better than Axe.

 

[Raistlin]

Unscented deodorant with a quality cologne is the way to go
