Subtle but perfect fragrance - not too masculine either which I was worried about. Hopefully this becomes a permanent scent!
Smell could be stronger for me, but it’s marvellous as always. Only deodorant I use!
Not new to Akt, but this is the only scent I hadn’t tried. Reading the description I was concerned it would be quite “masculine” but as usual Akt have got it right and it’s subtle and suitable for any gender.
The Radiance Ritual lives up to its name completely! From the first use, my skin felt incredibly soft and looked naturally glowing. Beautiful scent, lightweight texture, and zero irritation. AKT has officially earned a permanent spot in my daily routine!
I am so happy I found this deodorant. It works very good and I stay fresh all day long.
Everything is perfect; the deodorant is truly effective.
The only thing is that the material of the tube should be changed.
For me the best note yet. I hope it will be continued
The Deodorant Balm SC.00 by AKT London is a great alternative to traditional deodorants. It has a pleasant texture, applies easily, and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. I also love the minimalist packaging and the attention to detail. A great addition to my daily routine. Definitely worth trying!
Love the scent so much and it is so different from the others.
Would be worth it to have it as a permanent scent.
Recently lost my deodorant and had to get a store roll on, worst three days. I missed my akt so much. Best deodorant ever! I can just go on with my day without thinking about it plus i get compliments about the smell all the time
Great scent, airs out well so it’s not too heavy / overpowering, only note would be to push the leather to be a deeper smokier note and not as sweet
I’m really happy with this deodorant balm. It’s easy to apply, feels lovely on the skin and keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day. I also really enjoy the scent — clean and pleasant without being overpowering. Definitely one I’ll keep using!
In many ways I really love my AKT deodorant, it is the best sustainable deodorant I’ve tried and the scents are really nice. Still, I wish I had known before purchase that it leaves white marks on garments (like many others). It would also be great if AKT could introduce refillable packaging (still plastic-free, please!).
Hello Bellomo,
Thanks so much for your review — and I’m sorry your AKT experience hasn’t been quite five-star so far.
Most people who use our balm don’t notice any marks on their clothing — in an independent two-week trial of 104 participants, 84% agreed it didn’t stain their clothes.
White marks can sometimes occur if clothing is put on immediately after application. We recommend giving the balm a moment to absorb and settle into its powder finish before dressing. Any marks should usually lift easily with a damp cloth or come out in the wash.
We’d also love to look into this further. If you could send us the batch code from the end of your tube, we can pass this on to our product team.
And thank you for the refillable packaging suggestion! Sustainability is incredibly important to us, so we’re always exploring ways we can improve our packaging while keeping it plastic-free.
Best,
Switched from another well known natural deodorant which I'd been using for 5+ years because I heard this one doesn't leave white bits and marks. It's true!
As soon as I saw that there was limited edition on the way I was thrilled! And it did not disappoint. The new Santal Nomad is perfect and everything I could ask for. Fingers crossed that this is not just a limited run!!!
I love this scent..
It’s a scent I’ve been looking for so long. I stopped looking though some years ago though, and now the scent found me. Like a nomad, traveling for years, and finally here. I hope it is here to stay, but I understand the nature of the nomad… so I savor our time together, here and now.
My order took more than three weeks to reach me in Paris but the care in handling it was excellent. Im enjoying the smell and the packaging is a absolutely great.
Really good violette scent, great performance! Only thing, would like a different container.
Love the new scent! It’s warm, smoky, yummy but it lingers on my clothes more than all the other scents (I don’t know why), and so I won’t be repurchasing it.
I recommended AKT to a friend who was looking for a deodorant that helps prevent sweat and stains. He wanted a smoky, leathery scent similar to Tom Ford Ombré Leather. At the time, Onsen / SC.03 was the closest match to what he was looking for, although it was somewhat sweet.
Then you launched Santal Nomad—a really great scent. I hope it becomes a permanent part of the fragrance range.
