    @melbaboutown@aussie.zone as promised I have procured and been using the ZeroCo cucumber and green tea deodorant!

    Ok, I feel pretty confident speaking authoritatively on smells since I literally picked up a gas leak further away than a leak sniffer did, but as always YMMV:

    I actually find this scent to be subtler than my usual (dove cucumber) and doesn’t really have any chemical over or undertones. It smells stronger in the pouch, but on application via roller it’s very very light to almost undetectable when I applied the same way I did dove. I did feel a bit of skin tingle on application, but more “I just used a mint-containing soap (and not on my genitals)” than anything else, and I’ve had no reaction and it’s been several days and multiple applications . Haven’t had the chance to test its efficacy after a hard slog of yardwork, but is holding up thus far.

    I actually have some left in the pouch (you return them for refilling) and a bunch of those tiny little glass roller bottles floating about - if you like I could mail you a tiny sampler for sniffing and skin testing

    edit: Ok I ended up doing a bit of hefting of things for a hot minute, and the scent of the deodorant has increased slightly. Still less than dove, and no BO undertones that it’s trying to hide, so possibly just a heat reaction.

      It’s a good idea having refillable ones. Thanks but don’t worry, the current one I have is still pretty full and tolerable!
