I have two in my bathroom at all times.
I use the crystal roll-on after showers and it works wonderfully.
I use Tom's of Maine honeysuckle rose when I am not freshly showered. It works okay. I've tried using it freshly showered, too, and the result is no different. The other scents of TOM don't work at all for me.
I prefer a specific brand of crystal deodorant (blue label, forget the brand name), but will buy whatever the local discount store has. Just yesterday, my favorite crystal roll-on ran out and now I am using Kiss My Face lavender. In the past, I had the KMF summer scent. It worked well, but it STUNK to me. Was way too strong and got more powerful over the day. The lavender one I just started smells good and just enough scent. I don't know if the company changed how much scent it uses or if the different scents have different strengths. I prefer unscented, but don't mind certain EOs.
One thing I have noticed myself and have had confirmed by several holistic healers is that what one eats has a huge impact on body odor. Not just the obvious strong scented foods, but overall diet. When I am eating a "clean" diet of whole foods and drinking mostly water, I can skip deo on the days I do not shower. (I may be able to skip it then, too, but it is such an ingrained habit I haven't consciously done it.) When I am eating out more (vacation, especially) or drinking more "other" fluids or otherwise eating less "clean" or whole foods, then I definitely need deo every single day. In fact, last night I needed another application before we went to a fundraiser dinner.
I've been eating more sugar than usual, too.....
