I work out daily and use Sure unscented and it works fine. I dont care for scented anything but I do find if I have to use it, it does smell odd when mixed with sweat...musk and a floral bouquet is not pleasant thing.

I've had good luck with Speed Stick and love the Momentum and Cool Fusion scents.

It's been my experience that you just need to try various brands until you find one that agrees with your body chemistry. I found that the deodorants I once had success with before T, didn't work after I started T. I'm the kind of guy who just can't stand not smelling good, so I'm all about finding something that works with *my* chemistry. Even if you're not on T, your chemistry can change. What might not have worked for you before might now work.

Find a good deodorant that works for you and a nice (but not overpowering) cologne. Keep in mind that there could be asthmatic people around you and you don't want your scent arriving before you do. It should keep you feeling and smelling good all day.

Good luck.....I hope my 2 cents has helped some.

I don't think I've used women's deoderant since middle school or first year of high school, but I agree. I've always been very active and women's deoderant never seemed to do much of anything except smell like the perfume section of the Eaton's centre when you take the cap off. I do think men's deoderant is better suited for an active lifestyle, then again many female athletes I know use women's deoderant and don't complain so maybe it depends on the person.

I've used a variety of men's deoderant and they've all worked fine except for the roll-on ones which do nothing but make you smell like chemicals, and then eventually chemicals and sweat after a workout. For the last while I've been using Adidas but avoiding the roll-ons. Mostly use Adidas Intensive antiperspirant, but recently tried Adidas Deep Energy, which I don't find as effective as Intensive. Axe is probably the most effective I've tried after Adidas Intensive.

Btw, what's up with those deoderants that claim to work for 48 hours? What is the point of a deoderant that works for 48 hours (and yet they rarely last even a full day if you're very physically active, like the demographic Adidas caters to) to begin with?

Old Spice Game Day......sweat like a mule....smell like a man

Like EZ mentioned, there's a difference between plain deodorant and antiperspirant and they work differently together and individually. I usually use some form of Degree with both antiperspirant and deodorant. They have one that smells like a peach orchard. It's one of my faves. Well, that and baby powder, because everyone can usually tolerant baby powder, even if scent sensitive. Oh, and clear gel. It must be the clear stuff. No white streaks for me.

white streaks are nasty. white dingling balls nastier. don't do it!

I have used men's deodorant/anti antiperspirant all my life. My sweat tastes sweet.
I have however just found a new formula from the brand I use and women seem to really like it. I seriously can't say how many times people have asked me what I was wearing for cologne.
