The Best Deodorants Around

I'm a huge believer in smelling clean and fresh at all times. Yes, I can say it. I'm a bit of a hygiene freak, which has always annoyed any roommates that I've ever had. What can I say? I like things that smell good. And so I am a fanatic about a good deodorant. And I've done a lot of research to find the best smelling deodorants and antiperspirants that can keep you smelling fresh as a daisy all day (or something like that - I don't know that I necessarily want to smell like DAISIES, of all things... but I digress).

So I HAVE done my research. And I've even polled my friends and found out what their faves are. And here is my brief rundown of the best deodorants on the market (both genders included). 

Dove's Cool Sensations Antiperspirant and Deodorant is amazing. The cucumber and green tea extracts make it feel soothing on the skin, and it's totally translucent and clear (won't get on your clothes - thank goodness). The best part is, you're protected for 24 hours (yes, one whole day) against odors and wetness (ick).

So indeed, a high quality deodorant!

Axe Deodorant Body Spray for men is another terrific odor and sweat fighter. This deodorant is durable and even has an alluring, magnetic fragrance. What could be better than combining both freshness and effective protection with smelling like a true Casanova? Nada.

Secret Flawless Antiperspirant/Deodorant is terrific for those who want an unscented option (because yes, fragrances can be obnoxious at times). This deodorant nurtures and conditions the skin while providing strong protection against body odor. Killing two birds with one stone, yes! This is another fantastic "clear" deodorant too....'cause who likes that flaky white stuff? Gross.

Old Spice Classic Deodorant in stick form is indeed a classic. This sucker will completely annihilate odor causing bacteria while neutralizing all odors before they even get the chance to start and ruin your day (and reputation, perhaps). This is a great deodorant/antiperspirant option for men, and the fragrance is clean, fresh and distinctly masculine.

That's it. Thanks, people. And please, keep wearing that deodorant. Or start, at least.
