like size, smell matters too

Let's face it. Nobody likes a stink. Gone are the days of that "manly odor," causing women to trip over their feet as your male scent draws them in – it was all a lie.

While perfumery goes back thousands of years, it was only in 1709 when an Italian living in Cologne decided that men deserved to smell good too.

While today's man no longer has to hunt wild animals to survive, that's no excuse to ignore the body's unsavory smell after a long day out and about.

Since the advent of the aerosol deodorant, millions of scented sprays have found their way onto the market, offering relief to men (and women) around the world in staving off that hard-to-miss aroma. While many of these perfumed fragrances can smell rather pleasant, others are positively disgusting, assaulting the nasal passages and often leaving you smelling worse off than if you were to brave your natural odor throughout the day. The very nature of an aerosolized deodorant also means that it doesn't last very long, fading away in a matter of hours.

Sweat is the mark of hard work. If you haven't broken one yet, you're being lazy. Unfortunately, the end result of a sweaty, hard day at work, means that you're bound to generate a decent amount of the stuff. This natural coolant tends to build up, leaving embarrassing stains beneath your arms and ruining even the hardiest of shirts. Antiperspirants arrived on the scene as a solution to this problem. Focusing on blocking sweat altogether in avoiding odors, this once-touted miracle of science simply blocks your sweat glands, keeping you dry. But here's the catch: Antiperspirants use aluminum salts to prevent your glands from creating underarm sweat.

No sweat, no bacteria, no stench. Sounds great, right? Wrong. The body needs to sweat and using a metal-based compound to block your glands isn't exactly the healthy alternative we all need in the pursuit of smelling like a rose. From itchy, inflamed pits, to a risk of Alzheimer's, best avoid aluminum-based deodorants altogether.

Crown Shaving Aluminum-Free Deodorant staves off the bad odors, while keeping you safe and fresh in the process.

By making use of a direct, topical application – instead of the spray-on aerosol - not only will you be left smelling great all day, but you're doing your part in saving the planet! Natural ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and soya soothe and protect the skin, while organic cleansing agents like sodium bicarbonate and ozokerite wax kill off that pesky bacteria without blocking pores. Antioxidant properties in the acetates and triglycerides round off a triple crowning in giving you that ultimate, sweet-smelling all-day protection.

Packaged into a handy travel size and boasting Crown's signature blended iconic fragrance, this aluminum-free deodorant boasts everything you need to keep smelling great, all day long, no matter how hard you work.
