LumeWhole Body Deodorant - Invisible Cream Tube - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Skin Safe - 3.0 ounce (Peony Rose)

Afraid of the STINK many are complaining about? Okay...so I tried every single one of Lume's scents and hands down the BEST scent is the one I thought I would like the least, it's the Toasted Coconut. The other scents DO have a strange scent to them upon first application, but honestly ALL of them work, they really do. Here's the secret to using this product, RESIST the temptation to smell the cream straight out of the bottle. Just don't do it. Ewwww! You'll hate it! Instead, just ignore what your nose is telling you and put the stuff on! No! Don't smell your pits immediately! I told you not to! LOL! (I am serious don't do it!)Give it a try and trust the stuff will work and put your clothes on and get dressed. Later when you remove your clothing before bed that's the time to do your scent investigation. Or for the more adventurous among us, have someone else do the scent investigation for you. Sniff those pits or "other" places you chose to slather this stuff all over and I swear these places won't smell at all or they will have a soft lavender, coconut, or whatever scent you chose...even the non-scented one that smells downright putrefying right out of the bottle will not smell at all on your skin after wearing it awhile...instead you'll just be scent-free and smell-free. Give the underarms of your t-shirt a sniff after wearing it all day and you'll only smell lovely lavender, coconut, etc... In fact, this stuff works so well that I asked my husband to use it--on some of his other parts, and WOW holy guacamole am I a believer! ;) After THAT experience he is definitely motivated to use this stuff daily! (You just gotta reward good behavior!) LOL!Finally, to recap, DO NOT try to smell what you're looking for in a scent directly from the bottle or even right after you apply it... it needs time...seasoning for an hour or so, and then you'll be pleased as punch! Delay your need for instant fragrance gratification, modify your expectations for what scents you expect to come from the bottle and instead focus on the outcome (maybe focus on your WHY)...body odor will not occur if you use this after showering. We shower daily so I cannot comment on the 72hr nature of this body deodorant.Oh, and as far as scent choices go, I did try all of the scents and I like the way the toasted coconut mellows out to LATER, lavender mellows out nicely too so it's my second choice and for times that I don't want any scent as no scent is nice too, the unscented version is perfect (but only after time has passed on your skin...definitely a horrible smell after just applying it, but only if you stick your nose up to it. Ignore the scent at first, tell yourself it's going to be ok and let it ride... let it sit and do it's thing and it will disappear into a gorgeous UNSCENTED version. Just don't pay attention to how awful the unscented one is at first, buuuuut I promise you if you give it a few hours you won't be disappointed! I hope this helps you sift through your dilemma when you read ALL the reviews talking about the "stink"... patience grasshopper!

I purchased the Lume lotion in the scent 'Minted Cucumber'. I've smelled a number of their scents including the Powder, Coconut, Unscented, Peony, and Tangerine. The Minted Cucumber is THE best at masking the brief initial funk of the mandelic acid, and also actually smells genuinely pleasant. The mint is very subtle, less like toothpaste and more like a fresh mint plant, although not particularly strong. The cucumber note is a true unisex cucumber, with no odd notes of melon - not the same exact scent, but with the same type of balance as the Dove Cucumber Body Wash. The scent overall is very clean without being astringent, just a freshly bathed clean smell. I really, really like this scent and hope it's never discontinued (partially why I'm writing this review- it seems overlooked, so please buy this scent so Lume knows people love it!)As for efficacy, this stuff works. I use this daily after showers in thigh folds and underarms and smell like nothing at the end of a busy day. I've also used this more broadly while traveling to an area with limited shower accessibility and it saved me. This is not an antiperspirant, so I do still sweat if I don't use an aluminum antiperspirant in adjunct to this, but even without an antiperspirant I smell remarkably of nothing.I have exceptionally sensitive skin and luckily don't react at all to this stuff. I appreciate that there's NO essential oils or baking soda in it. I apply the lotion how the company recommended, about a pea size amount to each underarm and a pea size amount to each side of thigh fold. The lotion itself is not sticky and doesn't leave a residue on skin or clothing that I can tell. The lotion doesn't sting or burn when applied.Overall, I recommend. Will be buying again.

LOVE Lume cream deodorants, but this had almost too much coconut scent.I am disabled and my shower is a bit treacherous for me- combined with pain and fluctuating energy levels, I can't shower very often. In between showers, I use bath wipes and Lume to get me through and the Lume honestly does the heavy lifting. I use it in all the standard areas (pits, underboobs, privates, feet, etc) and no matter what scent I use, it dries to odorless within a minute.The only problem with the vanilla scent is there's a definite coconut note, and I absolutely hate the smell of coconut. HATEIT.Thankfully, the scent fades quickly, although I can still smell a tiny hint of vanilla for several hours. In a pleasant way, and with no trace of coconut.Definitely performs the way I expected it to- I love the Lume cream deodorants (not a fan of the antiperspirant varieties) and I've continued to use the vanilla in the same ways I use the other scents, and it just.....works. Nobody wants to smell like they can't shower as often as they'd like, and this helps me maintain some dignity.I'm not sure if I'll stay with the vanilla when I order again (which will take a while, these tubes last forever)- I need to go back to the powder scent for a bit and see which I prefer.If you like coconut and vanilla, I'm sure you'll love this scent! But if you're like me, it *might* be a bit too coconutty for you.
