Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Deodorant

I brought this deodorant to try when making the switch to more natural options. I found it way too sticky and it took ages to dry. It also caused a burning sensation after shaving so was not ideal to use at that time. The scent was pleasant but didn't last long, only a few hours max. It did keep body odor away but didn't keep me dry at all.

Ok I purchased this deodorant way too much because it is often the only affordable choice at supermarkets but it is not effective at all. First of all the strong smell of tea tree is too medical and not pleasing. It stings badly when applied on newly shaved armpits. It doesn't protect from odor at all literally after an hour of applying I can smell myself. The only good thing is it does last long. The price is good too. Maybe good for wearing at home but hard pass when I am out.

My dad uses this religiously so when I decided to try and use predominately natural based products I turned to this as it can be easily brought in supermarket opposed to a specialty store.

Unfortunately it is only really good to causal stay around home days for me. If I wear it to work I start getting wet arm pits and odor.

In fairness to the product this could be down to two things

1. It takes a long time to dry and I usually put a top on before it dries

2. Some conventional deodorants either don't work for me or stop working.

For now I will keep searching for that natural deodorant that works for me!

I really love natural products and I love the Thursday Plantation brand so decided to give this deodorant a go. It was on special for $6 which is a bit more than what I usually pay.

It comes in a standard roll on deodorant bottle with the Thursday Plantation labeling. Simple but I like it. I find it is quite a thin consistency which I am not used to. Also it takes a long time to dry which is really annoying for me.

Now the smell, I love deodorants that smell good and this is far too strong smelling for me. Almost overpowering and certainly not what I want to smell like. I like tea tree but not when that is all I can smell.

I applied this after my shower and went to work. It did not stop me from sweating and after a hard days work I had pit odour lol and I never get this. I know it is not described as an antiperspirant but I thought it would work a bit better than it did. For me it was not good and I will stick to my dove deodorant.

My mum use to buy this for me because of the 'no aluminum'. It was just your normal deoderant. I found the smell of tea tree over powering though. But if you love that smell youll love this one! also. But nothing special for me and have others i prefer. also for me i prefer an anti persperant over a deodorant but each to their own :)

Doesn't work as well as I wanted it to (aluminium free?! YES), and it does give off a strong tea-tree smell. Maybe if I wasn't in the tropics it would be ok.

I probably should have known better as tea tree is quite harsh but ow! This made my underarms sting. While I think it does work pretty effectively at combating sweat, I probably won't use it again but it seems like it doesn't agree with my skin. It smells really strong as well. I found I wasn't able to wear perfumes as I essentially just smelt of tea tree.

I bought this deodorant from Countdown for $5.49 on special. I was interested to try it as I’m aware of what a good ingredient Tea Tree is, and I like the idea of using a deodorant that is aluminium free.

It comes in a bog standard roll on bottle and has the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree branding. So the first thing that happens when you unscrew the lid is the smell – yikes – it’s pretty strong and not entirely pleasant. Then you roll it on and it’s quite watery and takes a minute or two to dry. But then you’re off.

I’ve been using it for a while now and find it works very well. No sweating during the day at all, but when I get hot I can smell the deodorant. No staining on clothing either.

I will finish the bottle I have, but I probably won’t repurchase, as I’m strongly guided by scent when buying products and sadly the scent of Tea Tree is a bit hard to live with. I recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind the smell though, as apart from that, it’s a good product.
