That fact that the applicator was a roll on was why I ordered this product and I love it for that. Wish there were more roll on options for men. Goes on great, no stickiness, dries quickly. Love that it has no aluminum. Smells great upon application. Kept me smelling good for around 8 hours, depending on level of activity. No irritation (have very sensitive pits and most deodorants give me a rash, this did not). Why I won’t buy it again: as the product wears off the only scent component left behind is the sage smell, and how that mixes with my natural scent I do not like. In fact, I’d rather the smell of my natural scent alone than the smell this creates in my pits once it starts to wear off. I still recommend it though because everyone’s body chemistry is different and it’s totally possible this effect is specific to me. So try it out and see. You might love it like I had hoped to.
