Brilliant
Brilliant. I love the smell and it lasts a good while. Make sure you soften up the product with your hand as instructed so it's not too rough on the skin. I was a bit concerned I may still sweat but it's the best deodorant I've ever used and you only need to apply it once a day. It would be handy if the printed info on the container was easier to read, I can't see it with my eyesight. Also I feel packaging in plastic wrap slightly defeats the point of the rest of it being wholly environmentally friendly but that's easily rectified. Overall I would highly recommend...Yes it's a bit more pricey than regular deodorant, but it's much better for your body and the planet and you probably break even if not save money due to how long it lasts...I've bought this product 3 times now, and I will most likely buy again.

Truly works, long lasting, great scent + healthy
This is the first natural-ingredient deodorant I've found that actually works, after 12 years of using various natural products. It actually leaves me not only odor-free and drier, but smelling good– I got the patchouli scent.The results last for 24 hours on a low-perspiration day, and at least 16 hours on a high-perspiration day, even through workouts and stress or detox perspiration. I'm still smelling good even after my workouts!I even notice it absorbs perspiration, going beyond just neutralising odor. So I'm left drier, without my sweat pores being blocked like how heavy metal-ladened 'antiperspirants' work– blocking your body's release of sweat is terrible for you and toxic! I'm so glad I've discovered halfway through life that it IS possible to be healthy And not stinky. What a God send!I only need to use a little., less than what the container recommends even. The tube lasted me about 4 months.It's a great compact size, and the round shape makes it easy to throw in your bag, even makeup bag, and to travel with.The consistency is smooth and comfortable, absorbs easily. Sometimes I just hold it to my underarms for 3 seconds before gliding it across my skin, to get the best application results. This softens it up with body heat so it glides on the best.I have sensitive skin – this stuff does Not irritate my skin or create clogged pores.I love that the packaging is also plastic free.I used to think £10-£12 for deodorant was too much but I was only stubbornly wasting my money on deodorants that didn't work just because I thought £7 was a more 'reasonable' price for something I put on my pits. Considering this stuff works for real and the tube lasts months, it turns out the price is reasonable after all!I hope that the company and people behind it are as lovely as the product, and I like to think I'm supporting a good company and people.

Smells gorgeous
I liked the packaging and the simple method of pushing up from the bottom to expose the deodorant stick. It smells really nice initially but sadly that fades quite quickly. Even so the deodorant stick goes on fairly easily especially when it's been warmed up a bit and doesn't leave sticky residue on my clothes. It lasts all day too. So overall I like it. It's a very natural product and works well. It's just a little expensive. Will I buy it again? Maybe. I'll see how long it lasts before I decide. I do recommend trying it though.

Worth every penny
Deodorant I’ve been using for around 15 years suddenly stopped working following major surgery & I was smelling very sweaty even through just sitting for an hour or so. Prior to that I had found a natural salt crystal deodorant which worked but fairly expensive & crumbled leaving sharp edges (therefore unusable) before it was half worn, so hardly economical. Spotted Ilex Wood online - another natural product so thought it would be worth trying. Can honestly say this is the best deodorant I’ve ever tried. One application in the morning & still completely odour-free when I wake up the following morning regardless of what activity I’ve been doing in between. Takes a bit of getting used to applying as it’s quite dry to touch, but leave touching skin for a few seconds & it softens enough to easily spread a thin layer which is all that’s needed. Dries quicker than spray deodorant & doesn’t leave sticky residue like other stick-type/roll-ons I’ve tried. Has a pleasant, lasting but not overpowering scent (if having a scent is a decision factor) which is neither masculine or feminine dominant, so good for everyone. One stick has just about lasted 4 weeks of being used once daily (I’m quite heavy-handed with it, so more cautious use might get another week out of it) - I’d have used 3 of my previous spray cans in that time, so although it’s a fair bit more expensive per unit the Ilex Wood definitely compares favourably cost-wise especially considering the far better deodorising performance. Product container/tube contains no plastic, & is eco-friendly if that’s a concern (although it did arrive in a small plastic bag which maybe needs a re-thought), & the product is also entirely vegan - not a decision factor for me, but important for those who follow that lifestyle. Product arrived very quickly & suitably packaged (other than the small plastic bag). Impressed with both product and seller will buy (have bought) again.

Very good product and to think it's natural
Fantastic. Tried after every shower, lasted all day and some. Then put it on once and didnt shower for a few days: still smelt fresh. And this was tested in the current weather we'rehaving:hot and sticky. No irritation, no awful stains left on the shirts armpit.
