Murdock London Black Tea Deodorant - Skin-Friendly, Non-Irritating Natural Deodorant with Elegant Fragrance, 75g

Easy to use and lasted all day

This is a fantastic smelling deodorant stick that has a premium scent and feel to the product itself and applies nicely to target areas. The deodorant definitely works all day as my armpits where still neutral smelling after a full day although I could no longer smell the scent so it appears that this whilst being an effective deodorant doesn't linger with the scent. After around 5 days of use I found the stick getting a little on the dry side unlike roll ons. It still applies however with a great scent that I absolutely love. It doesn't leave any residue and hasn't caused any skin issues either so I'm happy to keep using this. It is quite expensive at just under £18 at time of review (definitely something most people wouldn't be able to afford for a daily use deodorant) but is a premium product. I think this would be an idea for a gift idea rather than buying it on a regular basis unless of course you have unlimited money lol. The scent is what makes this really good, nothing like supermarket deodorants. It's more of an aftershave type scent. I love it.

Good ingredients for such a product

Beautiful smell but unfortunately does not last long at all. Overall protection is weak and does not last long and pricey. Easy to use and no skin irritation or damage to anything what I have put on my self. Really was expecting much more from it but unfortunately I am disappointed by this product sorry but very nice smell when you open it. Thank you.

Smells nice and manly. Doesn't last long at all compared to others I have used. Won't make it through a full normal day in the office. Disappointing on that front from a cost standpoint.

smells good and you can scent the notes of black tea. Is it effective? I would give it 70-80% effectiveness rate. Does it worth this money ~£20? Probably not and I am sure you can find a lot more effective deodorant that also does not have that many ingredients, some of which are not nice to have on your skin...

Some solid stick deodorants are so hard and dry it's awkward and even painful to apply them while others are so soft they disappear in about a week of daily usage and leave smears on your clothing. This Murdock London Black Tea Deodorant gets the texture exactly right, it's soft enough to apply really easily without pulling the skin and hair but firm enough to be reasonably economical to use, although the price is a bit eye-watering. It also smells great with a natural botanical aroma that isn't the longest lasting but still seems to be effective, it continues to keep you fresh after the fragrance has faded. I never use antiperspirants because my skin reacts so badly to those aluminium-based type of products and normally I use one of the crystal-style deodorants because they cause no irritation. This deodorant has caused no irritation either and has the added benefit of a really appealing fragrance.

I'm a little sad to be rating this product just 3 stars out of 5 as I so wanted it to be the perfect deodorant as I've been wanting to remove the aluminum from my regular deodorant for a long while now. I understand the implications of links between aluminum consumption and the dreaded C word and I'm no longer happy with the idea of rubbing deodorant containing aluminum into my skin. I have tried a few aluminum free deodorants now and this being by far the most expensive so I jumped at the shance of trying it for free in order to give a product review. Let's start with the positives, I really like the looks of how it is packaged, it looks quite classy on the shelf and it's a very nice applicator with a pleasantly raised ledge of what can best be described as a clear deodorant stick in a easy to apply round shape. It feels really nice to apply leaving only a thin lair and barely noticeable reshaping to the stick after a couple of weeks applications. This stick will certainly last. The neutral scent I am also a fan of, I prefer to use aftershave than have a strong smelling deodorant so neutral is perfect to prevent clash of scents. The smell that it does have is very mild and pleasant. Now the not so good. While it claims to be non sticky I do find it a little on the sticky side. Not as sticky as say a typical rollerball type but certainly more so than a cream stick. The most disappointing aspect is the fact it does not prevent odor, I shower daily and apply after drying. A typical aerosol type deodorant will keep me sweat free and without any odor for a full 24 hours easily , this one after a day of work I do have a slight smell and being the beginning of Spring I don't think it will suffice for the warmer Months ahead. My conclusion is that if you really want to go aluminum free then this is more than worthy of consideration as it is the best I have tried in that area so far. But I am starting to feel a proper effective antiperspirant does sadly require that ingredient to do the job properly. I'm giving 3 stars out of 5 with all of the above in mind. I hope that helps people decide if it is worth the asking price of £17.60(correct at time of review).

Smells great and last all day

I have tried many deodorants in my life, and I am always looking for one that smells nice but also works good without irritating my skin. It is hard to find! Most natural ones don't last all day, and the ones with strong chemicals make my underarms itchy. This Murdock London Black Tea Deodorant, however, is the best I have ever found. The scent is amasing, it is so sophisticated and manly. It is not like the cheap, overpowering smells you find in the drugstore. It is a very elegant fragrence, like a light mix of tea with some woodsy notes. It makes me feel very confident when I am wearing it. The best thing about this deodorant is how gentle it is on my skin. I have sensitive skin, and other products have given me rashes before. But with this one, my skin feels completely fine. It is non-irritating, just like they say. I can put it on right after I shave my underarms and there is no stinging or discomfort at all. The formula is very clean, and I am happy that it is free from those harsh chemicals. This is very important for me. Also, the performance is excellent. I put it on in the morning and it lasts all day, even on a very hot day. I am an active person, and I need a deodorant that can keep up. This one does! The protection against odor is very effective. I feel fresh and clean from morning to night. The stick applies very smooth, not sticky at all, and it doesn't leave any white marks on my clothes. This product is worth every penny, and I will be buying it again and agin. Is a fantastic deodorant and I recommend it to anyone who wants a high-quality product.

Has a great woodsy type scent and does an okay job at keeping the sweat away. The downside is, it's a bit rough under the arms when rubbed on. Doesn't glide well, and feels like it's scratching the skin, with can lead to some irritation. Also the price is a bit too much. All day protection is also questionable. Katiebabs

From the moment I removed the cap, I was hooked—this deodorant’s black tea fragrance is remarkably refined. It blends notes of cedar, patchouli, and lemon for a scent that’s both masculine and complex, striking a delicate balance between earthy and fresh. I appreciate that the formula is aluminum-free and composed of natural ingredients, which gives me peace of mind for everyday use. The texture glides on smoothly, and the compact tube is perfect for travel. A few swipes easily covered the area without any tugging or residue. It sits at a premium price point, but the scent alone might justify the splurge. While longevity hasn't been an issue for me, I wouldn't recommend it for high-intensity days—there’s no antiperspirant component, so this is better suited for lighter activity when you still want to smell fresh without harsh chemicals. That being said, on those days it has proved effective and lasts until my next shower.

I own a lot from them and absolutely love their products; however, compared to salt and stone, the smell of this one is far from lasting and wasn’t one of my favorites from them.
