#(I'm three salt issue diseases in a trench coat so it makes me laugh that the shampoo that works has sea salt in it)

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, this time a question I'm hoping will save me an asthma attack or three. The deodorant I've used for years is no longer being made, and the deodorant aisle at the store is kind of, uh, difficult for my asthma, so I'm hoping if I share the name of the deodorant I know I can use and a list of smells I know I can't, y'all might have some suggestions for replacements? Below a read more
Okay, so the deodorant I've used for years is Old Spice's Hawkridge deodorant. I don't need something that smells the exact same, I just need something that won't trigger my asthma. Luckily, I don't really have sensitive skin, so the only non-smell ingredient I need to avoid is coconut. Smells I can't have: - cinnamon - mint (or any menthol) - cedar - smoke - fake musk smells? the whole, like, fake leather smelling "dude" section of bath and bodyworks isn't an asthma trigger but is an insta-headache and I'd rather avoid it - strong flower smells of any kind - coconut - pine Smells I like, which would be a bonus to have: - citrus - vanilla/ambergris/oud honestly anything along those lines, stuff that might be described as smelling "warm" (I don't really know perfume description words, can you tell? lol) If you have any suggestions for deodorants that don't have any of the asthma-trigger smells, I'd really appreciate it. Or suggestions for lotions, honestly, winter's coming up and it would be nice to have something nicer smelling than Aveeno to be able to use. Thank you!!
#the person behind the yarn#it is kinda frustrating that they stopped making the one I used to use#I mean. understandable? but deodorant shopping is up there with jeans shopping in terms of 'difficult and unpleasant'#I'd say sea salt would also be a bonus but mostly as a joke#because I keep accidentally ending up with like soap and shampoo and conditioner with salt in them#I buy them because I think I won't react to the smell and that they will be effective#and then it turns out they also have salt in them#(I'm three salt issue diseases in a trench coat so it makes me laugh that the shampoo that works has sea salt in it)#(that said you do find scratches on your scalp the hard way when your shampoo and conditioner have both salt and lemon juice in them)#(like getting hand sanitizer in a paper cut lol)
