The Best-Smelling Deodorants on the Market

The most decadent deodorant scents out there.

By Allie Hogan, Senior Beauty Editor · Published: Jun 6, 2023

Personally, I don’t like my deodorant to be a one-trick pony. I want it to keep my underarms fresh and clean and also emit an enchanting scent. I recently began thoughtfully pairing my deodorants with my perfumes, and it made me consider how long and strong deodorant scents can be. While some people may opt for an unscented stick, my preference is on the more fragrant side. For anyone else that loves when the scent of their deodorant lingers long after application, these are some of the best options out there.

Saltair Skincare Deodorant Seascape ($10)

This NewBeauty Award winner is skin care and deodorant in one with ingredients like salicylic acid. The fresh aquatic scent will transport you seaside, and we love that it’s refillable.

Native Deodorant & Body Spray Coconut & Vanilla ($14)

This is a personal favorite in part because it’s a spray and also because it goes well with one of my favorite perfumes: Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk. It smells like being beachside, sipping a cocktail and basking in the sun—safely, of course.

Kosas Chemistry Deodorant Serene Clean ($16)

Kosas Chemistry Deodorant has been around for a few years, but the Serene Clean is a somewhat new scent. The serum deodorant packed with AHAs to fight off odor now comes in a spa-like scent as well as its beachy counterpart.

Typology Bergamot & Green Mandarin Deodorant ($22)

Typology has many rave reviews for their deodorant scents—Bergamot & Green Mandarin and Rose Vanilla being a fan-favorite. Not to mention the formula has antibacterial and absorbent properties for the freshest underarms.

Sol de Janeiro Rio Deo Aluminum-Free Refillable Deodorant Cheirosa ’62 ($16)

If you don’t know about Sol de Janeiro’s iconic scent, Cheirosa ‘62, you’re missing out. I first fell for the scent while using the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream many years ago and was thrilled to find they also have a deodorant with the scent.

Athena Club All Day Deo Solar Disco ($12)

This deodorant has hoards of fans. The light, beachy Solar Disco scent is brought to you by orange flower, sandalwood, tuberose and monoi.

Salt & Stone Natural Deodorant Santal & Vetiver ($20)

Salt & Stone says this deodorant is formulated to provide 24 hours of protection with hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts and probiotics for fresh and clean underarms. The Santal & Vetiver scent is captivating with the smell of cedar, cardamom, Australian sandalwood, amber, crystal, violet leaves and more.

Dove Advanced Care Revive Deodorant in Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena ($9)

Don’t take our word for it—Beyoncé wears this scent on tour. If you want to smell like Queen B, look no further than the drugstore aisles.

Megababe Rosy Pits ($14)

Wake up and smell the roses, aka your underarms when using Rosy Pits. The odor-fighting and skin-boosting ingredients, paired with the fresh, classic scent make this product a best-seller.
