Cremo Palo Santo Aluminum Free Deodorant for Men, 48-hour Long Lasting Odor Protection, 2.65oz

A premium product with extraordinary scent profiles
These are extraordinary deodorants! Cremo is trying to do something different than most products in this space, and the result is a category-killer for men’s deodorants.I was a fan of Cremo’s earlier generation of deodorants (such as the bourbon oak, or the blue cedar) and I was deeply disappointed when they canceled them because they had long lasting, powerful, and unique scent profiles.This new generation of deodorants is even better! They have multi-layered scent profiles more akin to premium colognes than what you’d expect in a deodorant. There are distinct top notes and base notes in each. Rather than fading, each scent will evolve and change over the day you wear it, never unpleasant, sometimes even better later in the day than when you initially put it on in the morning (I find this especially true for Italian Bergamot, which “blooms” several hours after you put it on). The longevity of the fragrance is certainly enough for a single day, and it carries over to the next morning.Although these are not antiperspirants, which in my book is a good thing, there is something in the formulation that significantly prevents odor. Unlike most deodorants that simply try to mask over odor, there seems to be something active in this formulation that prevents odor generation in the first place.The formulation is quite firm; the stick doesn’t glide easily. But it applies with no visible residue, and I have had zero issues with skin irritation.I strongly disagree with other reviews that suggest that this product does not deliver value for the money. In fact I am surprised this generation of Cremo deodorants don’t cost more. I agree it’s unfortunate that they chose a large container for a smaller amount of product; a more compact stick would lead to less waste. But what you are paying for here is not the volume of product but rather the quality of the product, and the fragrance in these products is unsurpassed by any other deodorants on the market today. You’re basically paying for a top-shelf cologne combined expertly with an all-day odor blocking deodorant that can be applied in a single swipe.

Smells Pleasant, Needs Better Packaging
About two weeks after placing my order on March 3, 2025, I began using this deodorant every day. One of the first things I noticed was its pleasant smell. The scent was just right—not too strong but fresh enough to make me feel good throughout the day. Whether I was going to work or hanging out with friends, the deodorant did a nice job of keeping odors at bay. Since I usually take a shower and put on more deodorant afterward, I couldn’t tell how well it works for a full 48 hours without reapplying.One downside was how the product arrived. There wasn’t any seal or tab to show it hadn’t been used before, which was a little worrying. I think products we apply to our bodies should be sealed to make sure they are new and untouched. I decided to give it a go, but some people might be uncomfortable with this aspect.Overall, I believe this deodorant is a good pick for those who like nice-smelling products and don’t mind reapplying after a shower. When compared to other similar deodorants, this one is well-priced and smells nicer. However, the lack of a protective seal could be a concern for others. Taking everything into account, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Doesn’t smell as strong as I would like
I got this because I recently discovered Cremo body washes, shampoo, and shaving cream and I’ve loved all their scents. However, I feel like this deodorant could really use some more scent. Usually when I first wear a new deodorant, I notice it throughout the day because I’m not used to the scent yet. I couldn’t smell this even in the moments directly after I put it on. With that being said, I’m pretty sure I didn’t smell like BO while wearing this, but that leads me to my next gripe.This is sold as a deodorant, but it’s a white stick like antiperspirants usually are. I don’t use antiperspirants because I don’t usually sweat that much to begin with, and I’ve had issues in the past with antiperspirant clogging pores and forming cysts. So not sure what’s going on here – the actual product label says “deodorant,” but I couldn’t smell the palo santo but also couldn’t smell BO, so it seems as if maybe it was preventing me from sweating to begin with? Who knows, but this is definitely the first Cremo product I’ve been disappointed with.
