I'm actually so surprised at how good this stuff is that I decided to write a review, which I don't often do. This stuff smells great, I didn't sweat through it, and ZERO IRRITATION.
I don't know if I'm allowed to call out other aluminum free brands, but there's a well known one that starts with an N that caused so much irritation, and it left a goopy mess that was very difficult to wash off. I'd have to scrub, rinse, apply more soap, scrub and rinse again, sometimes even again for a 3rd time, and this caused even more irritation. With that brand, after one day of use, I would be itchy, burning, and sore for at least 2 days.
With Patrick's deodorant, I smelled awesome, it didn't cause any burning or itching, and while it was good enough to stay on my skin and prevent excessive sweating and odor, it washed off super easily with one scrub and rinse with soap and water.
So yeah, I love this stuff and I will only use Patrick's deodorant from now on.
