I also use crystal deodorant and I love it(and it does last forever). I had a LONG day yesterday, which involved sweat, and absolutely no odor. I think it takes time for your body to adjust to wearing natural deodorants, if you've used the other type.
I was totally freaked out about this when I switched over too. I got so used to using Dove, which smells pretty strongly even if you're not sweating, and now I just use a brick of salt (the Crystal). It's been over five years and so far so good! Plus buying one lasts a SUPER long time.
My SO doesn't wear any deodorant and I swear.. he could sweat, go a day without a shower, and AT MOST have a very faint but pleasant odor (if you put your nose right up to his armpit.) Note: I have a great sense of smell, too. It's pretty mind boggling.
I don't wear any fragrances for my own sake, his sake, and the cats. I react pretty badly to artificial fragrances; even just walking past someone at the grocery store or walking down certain aisles. I had a friend who would douse himself in Axe body spray before getting into my vehicle. It wouldn't take long before my skin was burning(particularly my face), along with respiratory symptoms and a headache. I've known of people who are far more sensitive and are basically housebound from it.
