What age can they start using deodorant?

My DD is nearly 7 and has recently been smelling of BO, even though she has a bath every day! Quite taken aback, as she normally smells so fresh and sweet! Is it too young to start using deodorant?

I got an aluminium free one when I could smell my dd was needing it. I think that's when they should start wearing it. If she needs it and she's 7, she needs it.

My dd was in year four last year and the teacher talked about the need to the class.

Ds starting wearing deodorant when he was 7 as he was very smelly by the end of school. It's a very natural one called 'Tom's'. Tesco sell it.
