I Asked a Robot What I Should Smell Like. It Was Right.
Let’s rewind.I did something bold. Something desperate. Something modern.I asked ChatGPT to help me find a deodorant.Not just any deodorant — the deodorant. One that would align with my daily signature: Abbott’s Big Sky, that perfectly ethereal blend of dry stone, crisp altitude, and distant pine. A scent that smells like a glacier’s last exhale before civilization intrudes. A cologne that says, “I hike, emotionally.”And this robot — this silicon oracle — responded without hesitation:“Try Corpus. Third Rose. Trust me.”So I did.I paid $26 for a single stick of natural deodorant, which felt equal parts ridiculous and exhilarating. It arrived with packaging that whispered in Helvetica: “We’re better than your drugstore shame.” And I’ll be honest — I was skeptical. It’s aluminum-free. Baking soda-free. Practically confidence-free if you’ve been burned by natural deodorants before.But friends, this stick slaps.It sustains.It elevates the armpit from afterthought to curated terrain.✨ Scent:Do not be fooled by “rose” in the name.This is not a Victorian doily in a stick.This is rose after the rain — clean, quiet, botanical. It meets Big Sky like a respectful partner: never overpowering, always complementary. Together, they form an ambient aura of “I grew up near a national park and process my feelings in fresh air.”💪 Performance:Glides on with zero drag — soft but not greasyDoesn’t stain clothes or soulsHolds up under Metro platform hell and high-stakes meetingsMakes you forget you’re wearing deodorant until someone says, “You smell nice,” and you get to say, “Thanks, it’s $26 and emotionally grounding”No rash. No residue. No betrayal at 3 p.m. when the day tries to break you.🧠 Psychological Impact:I used it once. I ordered a second stick during Prime Day even though I wasn’t close to running out. That is the behavior of someone who has found their signature scent guardian. That is scent-anchored identity formation. That is growth.This deodorant didn’t just keep me fresh — it restored a sense of personal dignity during the full-force swamp season that is summer in the DMV. My underarms no longer operate under duress. They flourish.Bottom line:Yes, I asked AI what to smell like.Yes, it suggested something absurdly priced.And yes — it was right. Completely, stunningly right.This isn’t just deodorant.It’s trust. It’s transformation. It’s the $26 I didn’t know I needed to spend to reclaim my underarms from chaos and let them thrive.Buy it.Pair it with Big Sky.Then tell no one your secret… except maybe your favorite chatbot.

Great Natural Deodorant
I got "The Botanist" so I'll start by trying to explain the scent. If you're like me, the little video they have that reviews the scent was not particularly helpful ("Smells like nature" did make me laugh a little), so as a person with no experience describing scents this is how I would explain it.Firstly, I do like the scent, and it isn't overwhelming. When you open up the deodorant you aren't hit with a scent, you either have to wave it around a little or get your nose right up in there to smell it. The first whiff you're going to smell citronella. Which makes sense looking at the ingredients again: "*Citronellol,*Geraniol" both of which come from citronella oil. I don't dislike citronella, but I do usually associate it with bug spray so that did surprise me a little to find in in deodorant. I guess bug spray does remind me of going into nature to be fair. I doubt the deodorant will have any actual bug repellent abilities though. After a couple sniffs you do kind of go nose blind to the citronella smell and start picking up the other scents. I really like the underlying scents, my best description of them is they're herbaceous on the side of floral. Not really floral, but herbaceous that's kind of leaning towards being a bit floral. And underneath *that* herbaceous scent is a kind of deeper more earthy scent that you kind of have to dig at to get. And the lingering tang from the citronella smell (or maybe that's the citrus scent kicking in?) on these underlying scents does remind me of the forest floor after rain.So while I'm kind of indifferent to the citronella smell in general, I do keep trying to smell this on me throughout the day to get to more of the underlying stuff. And I think if a deodorant keeps you coming back like that, it's a good sign of a good scent. And I will say the difference between this scent and the non-natural products is night and day. Comparing them back to back you do notice how the non-natural product is kind of flat and dimensionless in comparison. In general it's a nice gender-neutral scent. When this runs out I might try the "No Green" just to see what that is like. But I will have no problem coming back to this scent if I don't like that one.Now for a general deodorant review. In comparison to Ursa Major, this lasted longer on me. Results may vary, but after about 5 pm, Ursa Major would kind of just be gone. This scent does last longer, and even when I can't smell it any more later at night, I don't smell stinky after it was gone like I did with Ursa Major, so I didn't feel the need to top off. If I wore this to the gym, I can imagine it would be a different story, but for just going to work and only having to deal with work-stress sweats, this held up well.When you first put it on, it is a bit goopy. I'm not sure if I left it to dry for a bit if it would go away, but I don't have the patience or time for that in the morning so I've been just dabbing my pits with a wash cloth to get off the excess goop, and that seems to work. Bonus, this method let me test getting the deodorant off fabrics. I did notice the deodorant dried into a white crust on the cloth, but after a rinse that seems all gone so I don't think it left a stain. That was critical to me when picking a deodorant.A lot of natural deodorants are using coconut oil in their product, which is concerning to me because depending on the dye, oils can lift the dye from your clothing. So if coconut oil stains your clothes there's no getting that out because the coconut oil has *removed* the dye, not just layered another dye over it. I'm not sure if essential oils have the same effect, but since those are used as a scent in this product, theoretically they will be in very low concentrations and not enough to produce stains. If that changes and I do notice stains on my clothes, I will update this review.

Ineffective and no scent
I was looking to try a different natural deodorant than Lume for scent purposes and was sorely disappointed with this purchase. It smells like rubbing alcohol and is entirely ineffective at preventing body odor - within just 3 hours of a sedentary day I started to notice some BO. By the end of work it was like I completely forgot to wear deodorant.

Love the packaging
Don’t be put off by the price it is worth it! Effective, not sticky, smells great without lingering too long (like both the neroli and the rose), and it lasts a long time

nice subtle woodsy scent
this deodorant works well for me, but i have never been one that had a super strong bo, or much sweat outside of any normal situation. i found that this was really helpful to place on my chest where the breasts fold (lol, sorry tmi?!) because the sweat would accumulate and make undergarments start to smell... but after using this, no more issues with unpleasant intimates! i am very curious about the other scents. i will try them in future. it glides on clear. i did drop it when i first got it, and the top cracked :( guess thats on me, but maybe if it was a bit sturdier plastic it wouldnt have cracked? or the fact that it is quite large and heavy makes it crack.. other than that, i really like this product. and also wished it came in a smaller size for easier travel. *HINT HINT TO THE COMPANY*
