About a year ago I first tried Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant in Pure Vanilla. I wasn’t surprised that I liked it because I’m a huge vanilla fan, what I was surprised about was that when, last week, I popped into Sephora because I could literally smell myself I was sweating so profusely that I bought and liked the Vanilla Passion Fruit iteration. The Midtown Sephora I stopped in only had three deodorant options (aside from Lavanila they had L’Occitane and Fresh), and I knew from experience that Healthy Deodorant was the most effective of the three. They were sold out of the Pure Vanilla so I opted for Vanilla Passion Fruit and was surprised that not only did it glide on smooth with no residue like I often find with drugstore deodorants, it wasn’t sticky, but it was actually moisturizing and effective despite just having a light and kind of oddball sounding scent. The tell tale however was that when I bought this it was because I was on the go with about a million things to do and my armpits seriously smelled and needed to be refreshed ASAP (for my comfort and those around me!), and when I lathered this under my arms it really did mask the odor. I should also mention that often vanilla can smell cheap, but I’ve never had any issues with any of Lavanila’s vanillas. This one might even be effective enough for SoulCycle!
