Isaac, age nine, recently had to begin wearing deodorant. Yes, had to. He doesn't like that he has to wear it, and I rue the fact that he's old enough to necessitate it. But the thing that really bothers me about it? The smell. (I know, it's better than the previous smell, but...)He smells like 15, like long legs and clumsy arms, like cars and girls, like not wanting to hang out with Dad and Mom. He smells like someone I once would have considered aromatically hot (and not in a prespirey way). He's much to young to smell this grown up!
Why don't they make little boy deodorant that smells like baby powder? I'd be so much more comfortable with that.

have you ever tried rock crystal deodorant? My hubby just switched after cluing in that his long-standing Old Spice was irritating his pits. He switched and is loving the difference. It has no scent, and no odor either! Might be a good idea to start him off with that to avoid the chemicals (not the mention the man scent on your boy!) Most grocery/drug stores should have some, and health food stores for sure.
