What They Say: Did you know that stressing out about sweating actually causes you to sweat? Fortunately there's BAN® Intensely Fresh Invisible Solid, the one antiperspirant/deodorant on the market designed to protect you against the two distinct types of odors that stress-related sweat causes. Known as spicy odor and s-odor, these troublesome side effects of stress were first discovered by BAN®. As a result, the company formulated a breakthrough, patented technology (formulated with kihada extract and silver cancrinite) to target and eliminate these two types of odor. In other words, you've got nothing to worry about.

With 6 distinct fragrances:

• Paradise Winds - a modern and refreshing scent with fruity top notes of citrus and a colorful floral heart
  
• Floral Fusion - a romantic floral scent with top notes of fresh greens and pineapple
  
• Sweet Surrender - a flirtatious blend of floral scents with fruity undertones
  
• Satin Breeze - a light, airy scent with top notes of uplifting citrus zest and woody bottom notes
  
• Shower Fresh - a crisp, clean scent with top notes of fresh fruits
  
• Powder Fresh - a sweet, feminine scent with notes of vanilla and rich floral notes

Melissa Says: This stuff really works! I recently used it while shooting at a wedding in 80+ degree weather, which involved lots of running around indoors and out. I was very impressed with the way this held up and kept me from getting excessively sweaty and I didn't smell half bad after over eight hours of high stress and activity. In fact, I smelled pretty much as good as when the day began.

It also goes on clear and is not at all sticky or cakey.

Now, as you see above, there are several scents to choose from. Some of them are a bit more intense than others, and I have a feeling that for some of you it may not be perfectly appealing to have your deodorant scent be as prevalent as those can be at first. That's the only thing that keeps this from getting a Totally DeLush perfect rating. Otherwise, you can always give these a sniff at the store and find one that suits you.

What They Say: "Revolutionary new formula won’t leave white marks on clothes! Contains ¼ translucent moisturizers to care for your underarm skin. Provides powerful 24 hour protection."

Toya’s Take: With summertime here (unofficially), the heat and humidity are starting to go through the roof here in lovely Charm City. It’s time to gear up for the next few sweaty, sticky months. I’m not a heavy sweat-er, but anyone can look forward to perspiration if you try to make it through the summer months around here. For years, Secret has been my deodorant of choice, but I’ve found something better. Folks, meet Dove Ultimate Clear. It is the most awesome deodorant ever! It applies in a silky smooth manner and doesn’t sting like heck when you use it on freshly shaved armpits. It gives unbelievable protection – I remain fresh and dry all day. And the best part? No nasty white marks on my black tops! (I still haven’t figured out how to get those things off – I hear baby wipes are a good trick, I’ll have to try those.) This product has me sounding like a deodorant commercial! I’m telling you – this stuff is great.

What They Say: "Using organic extracts of Sage, Lemon, Patchouli, and Tea Tree Oils with organic grain alcohol, Erbaviva has created a sweet smelling product that counteracts the growth of bacteria and doesn't clog pores."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I know some of you have got to be into organic products. And really, when they work, who wouldn't? This one is tricky, and let me tell you why. I actually found this to work well for me. Granted, it's a deodorant, not an anti-perspirant, but if you don't sweat excessively that shouldn't really be a problem. As a deodorant, it is effective. But here's the thing: the scent (I wouldn't necessarily call it SWEET). It's very woody and patchouli-laden. Now, personally I am a HUGE fan of patchouli. But see, my husband isn't. Every time I have this on I say, "Don't I smell good?" and he says, "um, you smell like spicy wood". He just doesn't get it. But still, that is something to keep in mind when you consider if this spray-deoderant is for you.

If you do get it, use ONE TINY SPRAY for each underarm. Seriously, it's like you just can't do a smaller squirt to get the effect you need. It comes out stronger at first than it actually wears as it warms to your skin. I think then it really mellows out, and I almost feel like I put on a dab of patchouli fragrance oil somewhere. (If that doesn't appeal to you, don't get this.) I'm giving this a high rating because it does what it claims, but your experience with it will be determined by your personal taste.

One more thing. Don't spray it on just after you've shaved. Just don't. Holy Ouch.
