There is no other way to say it... I can't even tell you if it "works" because the smell of the unscented makes me literally gag. I try to keep any review I write as positive as possible and I even hate to say it, but it should be known that the smell is completely offensive. I have no clue about their other scents but I definitely won't be purchasing anymore products.

Why are people so upset about Lume
Why are people so upset about Lume? You'd think they caused WWIII or something.
Here's my experience with Lume - Their product does what it says it does, YES. I tried the BUTT test with soap and then with Lume, I noticed that BUTT stink (from working out ALL the time) is not there, nice. I tried their deodorant and though I literally did NOT test for 72 hours I can say I worked out for at least 2 hours then ran errands for like 5 hours and I never smelled... in fact I tried really hard to smell under arm funk and I just didn't.
The only pet peeve I do have with Lume is their ideas of Coconut Crush or Lemon Lime scent does NOT smell anything like the natural thing... So, I mixed the two deodorants after reading on Lume's reviews on their website (not here), that it smelled better if you mix the two. So whoever suggested it, God Bless you, because when I mixed the two deodorants it was refreshingly better - albeit still did not smell like Coconut OR Lime but it just smelled better and nicer.
Sooo Lume, if you read this try to make a Lime/Coconut mix would ya...??!!
Yes, Lume is more expensive than regular soaps. If you can't afford Lume there are cheaper options. But I don't know if they are as good as Lume based on clinical trials. Don't get me lying... I have no clue.
I also have KP on my arms and I noticed when I used Lume my KP got visually better. Disclaimer: I also have no idea if it's the PH level in Lume or the moisturizing I do after I shower or combo of both but yes, it's starting to clear up. I ALSO use a sulphur/salicylic acid soap I read about so between "the method", I notice my KP is doing better.
I knocked off 1 star because of the scent and also the price, but I don't have ANY issues with this company and I am not going to complain about every little imperfect thing. Aint nobody got time for all that.

Lume will be facing a class action…
Lume will be facing a class action lawsuit for psychological trauma it causes when people click on a YouTube video feeling degraded to think about their butt stinking that allegedly require their product to solve. For centuries humans naturally used soap and water daily. No one complains about people’s butt stinking in America because it’s the most sanitary country in the world with running water and thousands of affordable soap products. Evidence continues that YouTube places Lume ads on political adversaries videos used as a psych weapon.

Disappointed
I ordered Lume deodorant after seeing alot of their funny, informative ads on Facebook. I love the idea of a natural product that is safe to use over the entire body, since I live in the south and during the warm weather especially odor can be a real problem. I have, additionally, struggled with armpit odor (particularly in stress situations like work) and also foot odor, so I was really looking forward to a product that works. I do understand that this product is not an antiperspirant; I have just been looking for something that is natural (no aluminum or perfumes) and deals well with odor. I ordered the non scented. During the first two weeks I did notice a difference, an absence of odor. GREAT! I thought I had found my solution. Then after about two weeks I noticed that the odor was beginning to return. Since I shower every day, I was using the deodorant every day, once a day (like any other deodorant). At first it really seemed to handle the problem, but now (about two months later) it is not working at all; I once again have the same issues with underarm and foot odor that I have always had. Plus the "non-scented" has a funky smell of its own that is kind of like feet. I don't know if this has to do with my particular body chemistry or whatever, but I am disappointed. Lume has not delivered for me as advertised.

If you are looking for a deodorant
If you are looking for an antiperspirant this is not one. This is deodorant. There is a difference. They claim it lasts 72 hours. For me it doesn’t. But it does get me through my day. At about the 24 hour mark I need a shower. Their scents are not the greatest. Sweet Lily an warm vanilla are okay.
Overall it is average for me. But much better than Native for me.
Advice to those wanting to try it. Buy the sampler to try it.

IT’S WORTH IT !
ABSOLUTELY WORKS AND IS WORTH IT!
I guess it depends on the person tbh because it does exactly what it said it would, while I’ve been using it…
I was referred this by my sister whom have been using it for a good while, maybe 2mths or so. She kept stressing to me that it really works, that they’ll be no stenches even after sweating !
I got it for my private, not much my armpits or anything but it does work for that as well. So my rundown is—I was very skeptical at first even tho my sister kept stressing to me how much it worked, I just usually don’t trust anything because most things lie. But after testing her
( (checking her armpits) which she said she got it for) ), I noticed she literally didn’t smell like anything. Absolutely nothing. So when I decided to bite the bullet and purchase my own, I tested on little closed areas, like the back of my ears..my first thought was I hated the smell of the deodorant, I bought “sweet lily” but the one my sister had “warm vanilla” smelled worse than mine. So that alone was good enough for me. Anyway after applying it, it'll smell bad AT FIRST, but the smell fades away after maybe 10mins to an hour (again, depending on the person) and as you continue to use it you’ll get used to the smell. So after using it for back of my ears as a tester, it literally didn’t smell like anything throughout the whole day. Then i moved on to my armpits, same results. Needless to say I was sold on the deodorant and I used it for my private (which was my initial reason for purchase) and IT WORKS!
Reminder: All of these results were after sweating and moving throughout the day, no stenches. It works. Will continue to use it, lol I’ll actually pile up on the deodorant. I’ve never came across a deodorant that stops odor FR, even after sweating ..NEVER!
After appliance, I am literally always checking myself throughout the day to see if it’ll be a flaw and the odor comes back (because I’m in that much shock it works) but it doesn’t, it’s practically nonexistent. I am so grateful for this, words cannot describe it enough.
I hope they never change a single thing about the deodorant, because I see me being a permanent user !

Ordered the jasmine/rose fragrance…
Ordered the jasmine/rose fragrance deodorant in a tube, hated the fragrance (which is entirely personal, I know). To me, it smelled like cheap drugstore perfume combined with "that" kind of body odor (that personal kind it's supposed to get rid of!) I wrote an email and told the company how I felt and asked to return it or get a difference fragrance (like the coconut, maybe) in exchange, never heard back from them. I can't wear this kind of deodorant under my arms because it is NOT an anti-perspirant (which they tell you, they do not try to hide this fact) and I perspire a lot without an anti-perspirant but I was hoping for odor relief of the other kind.
