I wanted to love this product, really I did, so I kept on using it even when it seemed to be failing me. After a couple of weeks, though, I had to admit that it wasn't just a coincidence that I kept noticing a BO smell. It was me alright. Gross! I know this is not an antiperspirant, but I expected it to reduce odor (the "hops extract" was supposed to inhibit bacterial growth, and therefore odor). It seemed like i was worse off on days when I used the Tom's deodorant than when I used nothing. I have nothing against the product itself - it applied just fine, no problems with the consistency. I was pleased that it had no heady fragrances, only a faint lemony scent from the lemongrass essential oil. But, I can't go around the office smelling like I just mopped up a locker room floor with my shirt. Sorry Tom. I guess I'll just use this when I'm bumming around the house with no one to smell me.
