As we transition from spring to summer and the weather heats up, finding the best deodorants becomes more of a priority—especially now that we’re seeing each other off-screen again. Whether you’re headed to a beach hang or checking out a new restaurant opening, the last thing you want to be worrying about is odor from that summer sweat.
To help you focus more on enjoying yourself, nine Vogue editors weigh in on some of the best deodorants: from cult-classic antiperspirants to lavender-and-rose-infused natural deodorants that stick.
Athena Club All Day Deo
“I am on a perpetual hunt for deodorant optimization, and I’ve stuck with Athena Club’s offering for some time now. For a natural deodorant, I’ve found it works quite well without constant reapplication.” —Rachel Besser, market editor
Nécessaire the Deodorant
“I love all the Nécessaire products and their eucalyptus deodorant is no exception. This natural, multi-acid and multi-mineral treatment provides protection all day. The fresh scent reminds me of spring.” —Ian Malone, Vogue 100 experience manager
Kopari
“I use both Kopari and Megababe. They are nontoxic options that actually work. They are fresh and strong without being too heavy—and work for both sport and everyday.” —Alexandra Michler, director of fashion initiatives
Alvera All Natural Roll-On Deodorant
“My husband has a doctorate in environmental toxicology, so he reads the labels; this deodorant has no bad chemicals.” —Hollis Yungbliut, production manager
Weleda Sage 12h Deodorant Spray
“After decades of relying on traditional antiperspirants, I made the switch to natural deodorants a few years ago—Megababe’s Rosy Pits deodorant was the one I used to make the transition. Since then, I’ve added a few natural products to my roster. I’m a big fan of Weleda, especially since I’m now trying to avoid using synthetic fragrances; the scents in their deodorants are all natural. For summer, I particularly like the sage spray since it’s fresh, light, and not at all cloying.” —Chioma Nnadi, editor of Vogue.com

Corpus N° Green Natural Deodorant
“I’m new to the world of natural deodorant, but so far this one from Corpus does not disappoint! I love the smell too; it’s far more elevated than your typical drugstore option, without having an overwhelming scent.” —Madeline Fass, commerce fashion market editor
Native Deodorant
“After testing out multiple aluminum-free deodorants, Native was the one for me. It applies light and buttery, and does not have a wet or sticky feeling afterwards. Although I like to swap out my scents seasonally, my personal favorite scent is their classic Lavender & Rose. It’s subtle and super fresh.” —Emily Bukowski, assistant visuals editor
Malin+Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant
“There’s a reason why Malin+Goetz eucalyptus deodorant is one of their best-selling products, so I guess I’m not the only fan. It’s aluminum-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, baking soda–free, residue-free, and appropriate for all skin types, even sensitive. If you’re into sampling different scents, build your own customized four pack, or opt for the cute one-ounce mini size, perfect for travel.” —Christiane Mack, chief content operations officer
Old Spice
“I use classic Old Spice! I don’t like anything fruity, so this does the trick.” —Liana Satenstein, senior fashion writer
