The 4 Best Deodorants

A look at four of the best deodorants on the market. Is your favorite one on our list?

Dolce & Gabbana, The One

Most smells on your body are the result of bacteria, which thrive in sweat. So you have two choices: cover the smell or stop yourself from sweating. While you might feel pushed away from antiperspirants, often by our own Dr. Oz (see right), if you're a heavy sweater, you don't have much choice. Otherwise, when you're not at the gym or on a court, go with a simple deodorant. Maybe even one with a designer scent. Maybe even one that's ridiculously expensive.

Tom's of Maine
An all-natural deodorant, Tom's is made with hops, which the company claims inhibit the growth of bacteria. Plus, it smells like you squeezed a lemon over your favorite flower. ($7; tomsofmaine.com)

Sisley Eau de Campagne
The potent, masculine scent of this spray deodorant -- like a basil leaf dipped in pinesap and patchouli -- can cover any stench, without being too overwhelming. For this price, it should -- it should also drive you to work every day. ($75; saksfifthavenue.com)

Gillette Clinical Strength
Best for the heaviest of sweaters, this clickable, soft-solid antiperspirant smells like a talcum-powder-dusted pinecone. Apply at night, when your sweat glands are least active (and easiest to clog). ($9; gilletteclinicalstrength.com)

Dolce & Gabbana, The One
This deodorant is almost a cologne in itself. It's as if you stacked fresh-cut oak on a pile of grapefruit just downwind from a tobacco farm. ($22; saksfifthavenue.com)
