i used secret for a long time when it became available in the philippines.
then i switched to nivea, then dove and belo (a philippine brand). i alternate them.
i wanted to try natural or organic brands, so i bought another philippine brand recently, human nature.
it's marked 100% natural, but i noticed that the protection isn't as strong or long-lasting enough.
i also opened the schmidt's natural deodorant someone gave me.
it doesn't glide smoothly, so i have to rub and spread it to cover the area completely. it feels powdery afterwards.
although it felt like it's not absorbed completely, it seems more effective.
i was surprised to see that the baking soda brand, arm and hammer, also has a deodorant product.
i'm thinking of trying that one next.

@hereandthere We never had the lemongrass scent here. Last year there was one with cucumber, very fresh.

@LadyDuck the cucumber scent was the first one introduced here so it was the one i used first. when they came out with the lemongrass, i really loved it. then it ran out so i'm back to cucumber.

@Courage7 so you don't make a paste out of it? do you apply it after you shower?

@hereandthere I never used deodorants. Back when I was in first year hs I started using calamansi because my mom uses it. You just slice the calamansi in two and put (pahid) in the underarms. Leave it as it is. Remove the seeds (if any).
Now I use lemon. A slice of it and then half it. The other half I use sip the juice. The other half is to be put on the underarms.

I don't think I have used any natural. I think it needs something specific to work..maybe it is alum powder?

The local ones from Cloud Cosmetics. I don't use commercial ones like the ones you mentioned even if they claim they're natural or organic.

I use baking soda .. and put it in shoes as well .. You can also open a small box of baking soda and leave it in the fridge, under the sink and in pantries .. it absorbs unwanted odors ..

i don't use any deodorant since my armpit doesn't sweat. I just use body scrub to smoothen it.

I only use natural crystal deodorants. Works well for me, keeps me protected from odor long enough even if I sweat.
