Perfume free antiperspirant

Has anyone used a perfume free antiperspirant? Did it work? Trying to find one for holidays so that I don’t get bitten by mozzies.

Mitchum unscemted- I've been using it for years. Very effective.

Also going to say Mitchum although just lately I've found it's starting to irritate.
Currently using Vichy 48hr for sensitive skin, doesn't irritate at all, but takes a bit longer to dry, and not quite as effective when it's really warm.

But I still get bitten by everything, I think I've just got delicious skin (if you're a mozzie)

Thank you both. I’ve used Mitchum in the past and found it stopped working. I’ve used a mineral stone but that seriously stained my underarms. We are going to a Yellow Fever zone but can’t have the vaccination so I’m trying to reduce the likelihood of being bitten. Perfume attracts mozzies, so I’m hoping a combination of deet, permethrin and Simple shower gel and shampoo will keep them away.

I’m allergic to lots of chemicals and perfumes and I use Mum unscented/unperfumed. I think it works well…no complaints from anyone yet!

I am also on the look out for this. Dove did one but it is discontinued now, I wish they’d start it again
