- PHLUR Vanilla Skin Natural Deodorant, 1.76 Oz – Aluminum Free Deodorant for Women & Men, Long Lasting Odor Protection with Vanilla, Sandalwood & Pink Apple, Deodorant Stick

I've tried so many natural deodorants over the years, and PHLUR’s Father Figure & Vanilla Skin combo is by far the best I’ve found, especially for someone like me who deals with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). If you have sensitive underarms, are prone to flare-ups, or struggle with finding deodorants that don’t clog pores or cause irritation, this is a game-changer. What I Love: No Baking Soda & No Aluminum – This is crucial for anyone with HS or sensitive skin. Baking soda often causes dryness or burns for me, but this formula skips it and still controls odor effectively. No Bumps or Irritation – After weeks of use, zero bumps, redness, or friction. That’s huge for me. Long-Lasting Odor Protection (Really Does Last 48 Hours) – I live in the hot Southern climate, and whether I'm running errands or out for hours, it holds up beautifully and keeps me fresh throughout the day. Clean Ingredients That Actually Work – Ingredients like salicylic acid, arrowroot powder, and tamanu oil do more than mask odor, they keep skin balanced and calm inflammation. The salicylic acid gently exfoliates, which helps prevent clogged pores (a big plus for HS flare-ups). No Residue, No White Marks – It goes on clear and dries down fast. I can throw on a black shirt right after without worrying. Scent – "Father Figure" is warm, earthy, and not overpowering - think subtle sophistication with a gender-neutral vibe. "Vanilla Skin" is soft and slightly sweet but still clean. I layer them sometimes and they blend beautifully. Texture & Application: It’s a smooth solid, not too hard, not too oily. It glides on effortlessly, which matters when your skin is sensitive or healing from a flare. Final Thoughts: If you’re navigating Hidradenitis Suppurativa or just have ultra-sensitive underarms, this deodorant might be your holy grail. No bumps, no stinging, no weird residue - and it actually works. It’s a little pricier than drugstore options, but for the comfort and confidence it gives me daily, it’s worth every penny.

I love the smell of Phlur Vanilla Skin Deodorant- it’s warm, creamy, and addictive. Compared to the perfume, this deo feels a bit softer and creamier since it’s a solid and I love it! I’ve never had much luck with natural deodorants, but I switched to this one in June and I’m still using it which honestly says everything. The formula has completely changed my underarm skin. It healed irritation I didn’t even realize I was dealing with, and my skin now feels nourished, calm, and healthy. I do reapply a few times a day, which would normally annoy me, but the scent is so lovely that I don’t mind at all. The screw-top packaging is also a big plus, it’s easy to throw in a bag and I never worry about leaks. If you’ve struggled with natural deodorants before, this one is absolutely worth trying. Highly recommend.

In a sea of vanilla and musky, woodsy deodorants, this one was a literal breath of fresh air. I’ve always preferred clean or light/unscented deodorants, but I love this scent — fruity but also earthy and a little musky so you don’t smell like a teenage girl. Not overly perfumed at all. And it actually works really well. I do moderate to high intensity cardio 4-5 times a week and it holds up at the gym. Doesn’t stain clothes or transfer as easily as some others. This is the first natural deodorant I have been able to easily switch to for good.

I’ve been using the Phlur Vanilla Deodorant for a bit now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it works. The scent is warm, soft, and not overpowering—just a really lovely vanilla that feels elevated rather than sugary. It keeps me fresh all day, even on long, busy workdays, which is more than I can say for most natural deodorants I’ve tried. My only hesitation is the price. It’s definitely on the higher end for deodorant, and I wish it were a little more budget-friendly. That said, the quality is there, and if you’re willing to splurge a bit for something that smells amazing and actually performs, it’s a great pick. Overall, I’m happy with it—just hoping the price comes down someday.

If you love Vanilla this is the one. It also seems be working well at keep arm pit BO at bay for me. Being over 70, retired, I’m not as sweaty as when I was working, I have not put this to any heavy duty testing but I am pleased so far. I may like it better than other popular brands I’ve tried and thought I loved. shhhhh. We’ll see what Summer brings with being outdoors more.

When I first started using this product I feel that it did an excellent job keeping bad BO away and replacing it with a lovely vanilla smell. However, over time it started to mix with my pheromones in a weird way and eventually stopped working for smell. Considering it is aluminum free it is not a good antiperspirant if that’s what you are looking for. I’m a sweater so I have gotten used to the moisture if using aluminum free deodorants. Maybe it will work long term for others. It sucks bc the product quality is amazing so I wish it worked long term for me.
