What it is
Natural deodorant designed for women. Made with pure essential oils and natural ingredients that neutralise odour without blocking sweat (because your body needs to sweat).
Day Trip is our morning scent: fresh citrus with grounding depth. Think spontaneous adventures, busy mornings, getting things done.
Not fake "citrus burst" from synthetic fragrance. Just real essential oils that smell like actual fresh citrus with a sophisticated woody base.
Smells like
Morning coffee. Fresh air. That feeling when you've got your whole day ahead of you.
Bright citrus with depth. The sandalwood keeps it from being too sharp - it's energizing but grounded.
Scent profile
🍋 Lime: Bright, sharp, energizing. The scent of "I've got this."
🍊 Sweet orange: Fresh, uplifting, universally loved. Natural mood booster.
🌳 Sandalwood: Warm, woody, grounding. Adds sophistication and prevents the citrus from being too sharp or fleeting.
Together: Fresh citrus that doesn't smell like bathroom cleaner. The sandalwood gives it depth and makes it last longer on your skin. Energizing but sophisticated.
Designed to layer
Pairs perfectly with Day Trip soap (may chang, sweet orange, lavender, poppy seeds). Different but complementary - the soap is more complex with gentle exfoliation, the deodorant is lighter and more focused.
Think of it like building an outfit: complementary pieces that work together without matching exactly.
Does it actually work?
Yes. We've tested it extensively (including jiu jitsu training, gym sessions, running after toddlers - if it works there, it works anywhere).
Natural deodorant neutralises odour-causing bacteria without aluminium. You won't smell. You will sweat (which is healthy and normal).
Give your body 1-2 weeks to adjust if you're switching from conventional deodorant. After that, it just works.
Who's it for?
Women who want natural deodorant that:
- Actually works (all day, even through workouts, stress, busy mornings)
- Smells genuinely good (fresh citrus with depth, not medicinal)
- Doesn't cost £18 (because why?)
- Comes in plastic-free packaging (cardboard tube, fully recyclable)
Perfect for:
- Morning routines and busy days
- Gym, yoga, running (any activity where you'll sweat)
- Anyone who loves citrus scents but wants more sophistication than "lemon fresh"
- Spontaneous adventures (hence "Day Trip")
- Women tired of choosing between natural ingredients and actual effectiveness

What's NOT in it:
❌ Aluminium (blocks sweat unnaturally)

How to use
- Apply small amount to clean, dry underarms
- A little goes a long way (seriously, don't overapply)
- Reapply if needed after intense workouts (though most people don't need to)
PRO TIP: Apply after morning shower when skin is clean and dry. Natural deodorants work best on fresh, clean skin. Layer over Day Trip soap for a cohesive scent experience.
STORAGE: Keep in a cool, dry place. Natural ingredients can soften in summer heat (still works perfectly, just mushier).
Packaging
Plastic-free cardboard tube. Push up from bottom like a glue stick.
When finished: Remove remaining product, recycle tube with paper/cardboard, compost leftover product (it's all natural).
Made in small batches in the UK. Handcrafted by people who actually care.

Why Smelly Women?
Started because I (Chara) spent a year using my husband's natural products. Not because I wanted to smell like "wild woods" - because I couldn't find natural products I actually loved for myself.
Everything was either £18+ (absolutely not), didn't work (checking myself by noon), or smelled too earthy or medicinal (no thanks).
So we made Smelly Women: natural products that work, smell good, and cost what they should.
First time switching to natural deodorant?
Your body needs 1-2 weeks to adjust. You might sweat more initially (that's your body detoxing from aluminium). Stick with it. After the adjustment period, it just works.

Common Questions
Does it prevent sweat?
No. It neutralises odour. You'll still sweat (which is healthy). If you need an antiperspirant (which blocks sweat with aluminium), this isn't it.
How is this different from men's natural deodorant?
The ingredients work the same - natural is natural. The difference is scent: Day Trip has lime and sweet orange with sandalwood depth, designed for women who want fresh citrus that's sophisticated, not teenage boy's locker room.
Will it stain my clothes?
No. Our formula doesn't leave marks on clothing.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Generally yes, but do a patch test first. Some people with very sensitive skin react to sodium bicarbonate (the ingredient that makes it work). If that's you, natural deodorant might not be your thing.
How long does one tube last?
2-3 months with daily use. We're not trying to sell you new deodorant every 6 weeks like some brands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email us. We'll make it right. Natural deodorants work for 95% of people, but body chemistry varies.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes. All natural ingredients, safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. But as always, check with your doctor if you have concerns.
How does the scent compare to the soap?
They're designed to layer - complementary but not identical. The soap has may chang, sweet orange, lavender and poppy seeds (more complex, exfoliating). The deo has lime, sweet orange and sandalwood (lighter, more focused). Together they create a cohesive fresh citrus experience.
Does the scent last all day?
The essential oils fade gradually (natural oils don't persist like synthetic fragrance). But the odour-neutralising effect lasts all day. You may not smell entirely citrus at 5pm, but you also won't smell bad.
Why sandalwood in a women's deodorant?
Sandalwood is for everyone. It adds warmth and depth to the citrus, making it more sophisticated and preventing it from being too sharp. It's grounding and lovely - not masculine, just well-balanced.
