deodorant is basically roll ons or sprays that stop body odor from smelling, they can be placed anywhere on the body wheras Anti-perspirants are made for the underarms, they prevent body odor as much wheras body sprays are sprays in spray cans that cover up the spray.

Deodorant and anti-perspirant are basically the same. Helps with under arm odor. Anti-perspirant keeps the sweat and funk away. So does deodorant. I recommend that everyone wear some type of undr-arm protection. Body odors are in complete violation to ones nostrils and are offending to others. Body sprays are what people use after they bath or shower to keep them smelling good for the rest of the day.

I would have thought it is just different names but I could be wrong, I think the body spray is a bit different although I think it is still an anti-perspirant. Some one may be able to solve this big mystery of the century...:)
