Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Cream Tube - 3 oz (Toasted Coconut)

My updated review, I have attached my original below and it still holds true. I believe they have changed the formula with the ‘Toasted Coconut’ scent, it actually smells like coconuts, doesn’t have the “lume” undertone of a smell like all the others. The texture is different as well, more like a moisturizer. All of this is very good, because I haven’t been able to tell any difference in product performance. I am very pleased. They have discontinued the sweet Lily I believe, but the Toasted Coconut really smells good, and truly works. So if you’re on the fence try, the newest scent. Side note, if you have just shaved or have irritated skin, it will burn, but the burning for me is few and far between. The burning dissipates within minutes though, and it’s only if I have just shaved or have irritated skin. I purchased the Lume for my lady parts, because of all the amazing reviews. The scent I went with at first was the Lavender Sage, it really is not the most pleasant smell honestly. I can’t describe it, but it does dissipate somewhat once rubbed in. However I would still smell traces on my hands, even after washing. Which I did not like. So I ordered the “unscented” & the “sweet lily” to see if I liked those scents were any better. Because the product really blew me always with how well it worked for me, and I really wanted to find a smell that I could handle. So when I opened the ‘unscented’ to smell I was immediately disgusted, and disturbed at how bad it was and will absolutely not be using. I will return it, the smell was horrid. However the sweet lily smell was not so bad, not the best but tolerable. Especially once rubbed in it is more of a light scent compared to the other two. Still isn’t something I would want to put on my arm pits, not really sure how people put this anywhere but the private areas. The smells are not pleasant. But if you’re buying this for private areas, this smells better then the reason you’re buying this product. If you get my drift! BUT once you find a smell that you can live with, this stuff is absolutely amazing for private areas!! It truly is! I am really blown away by its effectiveness. It works. After showering and I’m completely dry. I apply a pea sized amount on each side where my legs meet my hoo hoo and slightly towards my backside, it seriously works. There literally little to no trace of any smell all day long. I shower daily, so I cannot attest to the 72hour claim. But I was having issues with smell even just a short while after showering, and it really bothered me. So I was on the hunt to fix this issue. I highly recommend this stuff. And my thoughts on the smell of the product, most natural products do not smell the best because they are not masked with fragrance. So yes the smell can be a lot. But it works. So be patient and find the one that works with your body, every product smells different on different bodies. For me the Sweet Lily was the most mild almost untraceable and fresh once rubbed in. Hope this helps.

First of all, I want to bring up a point several others made in their reviews- DON'T BE ALARMED BY THE ODD SMELL of the product before you put it on- it definitely has a weird "funk" to it besides the named scent, but it dissipates almost instantly once you put it on to a very light, clean, almost imperceptible scent. More importantly, hours and hours and hours of sweating later (remember, this is NOT an antipersperant) you will smell ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. As others have also stated, boob sweat is real, and has a funk all its own- a little swipe of this under the boobs after your shower and you will never smell it again. Period. Ditto for any and all other areas of the body. After seeing the ads, I gathered it was safe for all the unmentionable bits, but other reviewers mentioned using it on their feet; for some reason, I never thought of that before reading about it! I'm on my feet and walking for the better part of my day, and winter and summer, my feet sweat and smell ungodly, especially if my shoes had gotten wet. Worse than I imagine any teenage boy's feet or sneakers could smell. I've used this spray and that powder. I've had shoes that are machine washable that I've run through twice in a row to kill the smell, to no avail... Sometimes if my feet got wet and I couldn't dry them right away, between the shoes and my feet, the smell was so bad I could smell them while I was standing upright. Don't know if anyone else ever noticed, I'm fortunate? enough that they never said anything if they did, but the smell was enough to offend ME! I tried a little of this on my clean, dry feet before getting dressed, and oh my goodness, I am not kidding you, NO ODOR AT ALL, even after one of the longest days that would have left them ghastly without the deodorant. Killing the boob sweat smell was one thing, but this was AMAZING. I tried the Clean Tangerine scent, lotion style- It does indeed have a strange, organic, funky smell to it besides the actual tangerine scent if you smell it in or freshly out of the tube, but it really does completely disappear within seconds of application. That's another great thing about this deodorant- it doesn't have an overly flowery or perfumey scent to compete with any other scent you may wear, and is suitable for women or men. It really doesn't have much of its own scent at all once dry, and it dries quickly. Best of all, you don't have a mix of perfumey smell trying (and failing) to mask real odor, a ghastly combo! This works to neutralize the bacteria that causes the odor in the first place. I highly recommend this deodorant, will try the other scents and maybe the stick type at some point, but that brings up another point- value for the money. You may think it's pricey for a deodorant, but a little dab'll do ya, and one tube will last a while. This was only available on Amazon as a 2-tube purchase, so I won't need to order more for quite a while! You really do only need a pea-sized amount in each area of concern for complete all-day odor ELIMINATION, (not "masking"), so that makes it a great value for the money. Worth every penny. Very impressed, will recommend to everyone besides my fellow Amazon shoppers too.

This has saved me! I am allergic to so many products, that I have to waste so much money looking for the right one. Not to mention that you'll never get to use the entire solid deodorant because it falls out of the container once it gets close to the bottom. In comes this product! I chose the coconut smell due to reviews stating that it smells better as opposed to the other choice scents. So I wouldn't know how those other scents would smell. This is some pretty stinky stuff! But only for a few seconds. After that. Your golden! It works! Save's you money! No packaging mishaps! And it's a god send for travel! It literally takes up zero space and if you absolutely wanted to carry it in your purse. You could do so. But this stuff lasts I believe 72 hours! So if you forgot to put some more on. Your still good! And you only need a little. So no waste. I'm a fan for life!!!

Summary: Positives 1. It is better for your skin than cheaper alternatives. 2. It is not expensive to use because a small amount lasts. 3. It can be effective sometimes for 2 days and sometimes for a lot more. Update: 4. Applyed it for a jock itch, now it is gone, wow. So much healthier than the medications which actually hurt your skin. Negatives 1. Applying it is a little bit involved, and can take a few minutes. 2. One needs a special solution to wash the bad smell off of fingers. 3. Though the bad smell can be managed, it is still awful to experience such bad smell while applying it. Details: I bought a tube of no scent lume. Mostly because the only scent acceptable to wear for a man: silver spruce, was out at that time. I did read reviews of the horrific smell, but wanted to try it anyway. When I did try it, it was horrific. The smell was unbearable to me. When I would apply it with my fingers, it was getting on my fingers, and my fingers smelled horrible, and the smell would not wash out with water or soap, so I stopped using it. Much later, unhappy with other deodorants, I thought to persevere, and to try it again. I found out that after applying it, you want to keep from putting the shirt on for a few minutes. This is to prevent it from soaking into your shirt. After a few minutes, several things happened: it would 1. Stop smelling horridly under my arms( not much smell at all ), 2. Dry out, so I could put my shirt on. I also found out that the horrid smell on my fingers could be washed away with a soap and a light vinegar and water solution. It all sounds pretty involved, so why is my rating 4 stars, which is a positive rating. Well, 1: alternatives are either bad for your skin or expansive. 2: on the subject of expansiveness, this product is also quite expensive. But I use the tiniest amount of it, and it does it's job well, so it actually lasts a while. 3: how well does it actually work? I found out that in the summer, when I tend to sweat more, it is effective for maybe a day and a half, possibly 2 days. But in the winter, when I don't sweat too much, it can last a week or more. I had a minor medical procedure, and could not shower for a week, and it was still working. I was rather surprised. But as soon as I washed, my BO was back as strong as ever, sorry for that imagery. So I know it was lume keeping it down. So to recount: Positives 1. It is better for your skin than cheaper alternatives. 2. It is not expensive to use. 3. It can be effective sometimes for 2 days and sometimes for a lot more. Negatives 1. Applying it is a little bit involved, and can take a few minutes. 2. One needs a special solution to wash bad smell off of fingers 3. Though the bad smell can be managed, it is still awful to experience such bad smell while applying it.

This is such a great deodorant. I get so sweaty and stinky in the summer months and while this does not stop sweat ot does control the odor, I smell fresh all day amd night. I put it on every night after I shower on my armpits and private areas and in the morning I put on antiperspirant and that combo stops sweat and smell. The first initial smell is a little weird but it quickly fades into this soft powdery fragrance. I have really sensitive skin and have not had any issues using this. A little goes a long way.

Okay! So! I originally purchased the tangerine one, but I wasn’t a fan of how it smelled. It reminds me of the glucose orange drink they made me drink when I was pregnant to test for gestational diabetes. Which makes my stomach turn to this very day. I then bought the lavender one. I like this fragrance more but let me be painfully honest. When you squeeze it out of the bottle there is an underlying smell to the cream that smells like badussy (booty and gina). It was an overwhelming smell to get past at first. However, once the cream is fully rubbed in and dry that smell dissipates completely. I have a super strong sense of smell so maybe not everyone will have this issue. Overall, this product works great and I will continue to use it.

I first encountered Lume on a popular social media site. I thought their ads were cute and funny, plus I really appreciated Lume's approach to B.O. in that they're not demonizing body stink, but trying to normalize it. Let's face it, we all deal with fire pits from time to time! I went ahead and read reviews from across the internet and people's reactions to Lume seemed overwhelmingly positive on their managed social media accounts, and significantly less glowing (but still generally positive) on sites like this. I posted a couple of questions to the Lume online community, mostly in regard to the "unusual" and "rule-breaking" scent the product was purported to carry, and that's when things got a little weird. Lume cheerleaders materialized out of the woodwork and swore up and down that this stuff was going to be a life-changer. I received so many responses, actually, that I wondered if they were generated organically. The gist of it came across as such, "How dare you challenge the all-powerful Lume? Not only will it make you smell nicer, but it will make you richer, prettier, and younger!" The pushback was extreme. It was at this point that I felt I had to try out the product. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. OMG, the smell. I've seen it compared to dried spit, rotten walnuts, butt funk, etc. Yes, Lume smells TERRIBLE out of the tube. I think it smells rather like a dirty belly button after you've been out camping in the woods for a few days with no access to a shower. The scent dissipates quickly after application, but heaven forbid you put on your bra or shirt and get some on the fabric before everything is dry because the scent WILL linger on fabric. The smell (at least in my own experience) is extremely off-putting. I went back to social media and was like, "Hey, so about this smell that y'all were insisting isn't so bad..." and the responses I received were defensive. I was accused of applying way too much product and not letting it dry properly. Lume responded by saying, "We had to break a few rules to make a product that's so effective!" Listen, "we had to break a few rules" is Lume code for, "We know it smells horrifying but we can't admit just how bad it smells because if we did, nobody would buy our product." And here's where the love/hate comes into play: Lume, just admit that for an hour after application, your product stinks! The smell is gag-inducing. That said, once the Lume stink wears off, the odor control Lume provides is good. 72 hours good? HA, no, but instead of getting out of bed stinky the next day, I wake up smelling much like I did when I went to bed the night before. The lack of antiperspirant properties has taken some getting used to, and I DO NOT recommend using Lume if you're wearing clothing that comes close to touching your now moist (but not smelly) armpits because sweat rings are not an appealing look when it comes to women's casual wear. With tank tops? Oh yeah. Sweat freely and feel the breeze on those pits; it really is quite a liberating experience. There's a place in the world (and in my medicine cabinet) for Lume. Camping trips? Working outside in the summer? Yes. I expect I'll even use it this winter when I'm not as prone to sweating, but for general daily summer wear when sweat rings are a concern, I'll stick with my regular antiperspirants. In conclusion: The product itself smells AWFUL. The smell goes away quickly (unless you get it on your clothes, in which case you'll be changing outfits unless you want the stink to linger.) Armpit stink is controlled for about 24 hours. You're probably going to be surprised how much sweat your armpits produce. Watch out for sweat rings!

Fresh Alpine is not a neutral herbal as some have described. Be aware that it actually has a sharp, classic men’s aftershave type note that will be somewhat unpleasant if you were looking for a gentle woody, natural unisex type fragrance. I would describe it as more cologne-like and not “foresty” as others have suggested. That said, this was my first time trying Lume, and I’ve been using it for several months anyway despite the fragrance issue, because I’ve found that I do like the reduction in recurrent biofilm type BO. I had never had that issue in my life before very recently in my early 40’s, and this has helped get me back to normal even on a day that I might not use it. Whether the bacteria can build up over time or not makes a difference and the acid in this deodorant prevents it from building up. Soap doesn’t get rid of biofilm. Another pro: if you have chronic illness and sometimes can’t physically make it to the shower for a couple of days, this will last that long, except in the case of extreme heat and sweat. It’s nice to retain some humanity even while struggling. Now, let’s talk about the weird undertone smell that Lume has. I’ll give it to you straight: it has a smell that’s pretty gross right out of the bottle (separate from the fragrance). While you’re putting it on, you will smell this unpleasant odor which, honestly, is similar to when you go to a movie theater or something and a person with not great hygiene was sitting in the chair before you and *a smell* wafts up from the cushion and you end up avoiding that chair. This is the nicest way that I can describe it, but hopefully you get the drift. I’m hoping that maybe a different fragrance won’t have such a pronounced odor because the masculine sharpness of the Fresh Alpine seems to really accentuate this other stinkiness for me and I still struggle with tolerating it. However, the undertone smell (which I believe is from the active acid in the product combined with other ingredients) is less the more consistently you use it, and only lasts a few minutes after application. So, I wouldn’t apply this right next to a significant other, for instance, but if you plan to go somewhere that will take more than 5-15 minutes to get to, you’re golden. I also think the smell is worse when you first start using it, because the acid is literally disrupting the biofilm bacteria which you may not even realize you’ve got on your skin. The action of the bacteria stripping causes more of an unpleasant odor for a few minutes. Once you’ve been using it for a while, you don’t have much bacteria going on because it hasn’t gotten a chance to be there and form a biofilm. I will probably keep using Lume despite the weird odor and how expensive it is, because I like how I no longer get that sweaty fabric smell if I wear a t-shirt overnight or something. It doesn’t last quite a while. Tip: The method I’ve developed for dealing with the sour / stinky base note issue is to apply Lume and then immediately cover it with a little bit of Little Seed Farms activated charcoal paste deodorant, which comes in a lot of super nice essential oil based scents and works pretty well by itself but doesn’t last like Lume. The Little Seed activated charcoal seems to instantly neutralize the weird sour Lume smell, so I only have to deal with it for the few seconds while I’m putting it on. As an aside, I’ve found that Lume does very occasionally cause me to feel a tiny bit itchy but it usually subsides right away. But I’ve had less skin issues generally since using it, especially in that awful bra zone where my skin likes to react to sweat with a psoriasis type rash. I wish Lume would make an effort toward more eco-friendly packaging. This product is a cream and could come in a metal tube or a glass jar or even some kind of papery tube thing, potentially. Yes, plastic is convenient, but it makes me feel sad every time I buy a product that comes in a plastic container. Is it really necessary? The plastic and the weird smelly under-note are the main reasons I can’t give it a 5 star review.

Impressive product and service. I had used the product before and decided to re-order it. I really liked the speed with which I received it, the packaging and the nice note inside thanking me for choosing their company. A class act!

Similar to the Buckley's motto it smells awful but it works haha First time I tried it I gaged at the smell of yeast and eggs but it goes away very quickly. Thankfully because this is the best deodorant I've tried as someone with HS (hiradentis suppertiva). It made my underarms very smooth (it exfoliates) and I haven't had an HS bumps since using it...apparently it has zinc in it that helps with inflammation AND LASTLY HELPS WITH SWEAT. I feel like I really don't get stinky by end of day using this compared to other deodorants I've used.

Very good produit i Will buy it agian

Fantastic product! Works amazing. We have bought Lume from a different site and it was not authentic. This product is real Lume. I know it is expensive. JUST DO IT!

Did the job!
