Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?

    Do you mean “Cyprus” the country, or Cypress the type of tree?

      I was thinking of Cyprus. But the last company I worked for bought a small business in Cypress, CA. and I conflated the two when I made the title.

          I thought about it, but I’m inclined to leave it. Especially because, unlike Reddit, Lemmy users are understanding… and I kind of like my retirement “joke.”

        I didn’t know about Cypress CA, but probably should have expected such.

    Here I read it as, “Aqua Beef”.

    Well I think you bought “Aluminum Free,” whereas the one on the left doesn’t say that. That brand sells both aluminum-full snd aluminum-free.

      They were both aluminum free, one’s just not labeled. I had to give up on antiperspirant a long time ago because it made my skin weird. Still, weirdly, kind of miss it though.

      The “aluminum full” one you are referring to is the antiperspirant deodorant, while the “aluminum free” one is just a deodorant.

      Continuous use of aluminum-based antiperspirant actually makes you sweat more overall, so OP probably made a good choice.

      Quite similar but it’s hard to tell.

      The smell reminds me little enough of a cypress, that I’ve gone in thinking it’s related to Cypress California. But now that I think about it, it smells even less like a suburb of LA.
