The deodorant smells spicy fresh. When spraying I recommend, however, to ensure adequate ventilation, as it thereby really smells very intense. After application it is unobtrusive and maintains its spicy, warm touch. Vanilla I now could not identify exactly, but a warm, woody scent, which is why it is perfect for the fall or winter.
Without aluminum it acts odor with me about 8 hours, which is perfectly adequate, especially in winter, since one does not sweat excessively. In spring and summer you can and should then spray.
Conclusion: Smells good, good skin tolerance with me and without aluminum!
