I have been using this deodorant on and off for 6 months now and have found it to be very effective on the whole. The fragrance is nice but very subtle. I generally prefer this deodorant to another natural, spray version that I use, as Hippy Paste is more effective. However, I have stopped using Hippy Paste when wearing light-coloured tops as I often ended up with a yellow stain on them under the arms, or grease marks on the tops when I had not put them on carefully enough. I also bought the Tropical fragrance but found it to be completely ineffective for me so only used it twice.
