I'm not sure if I should take this as a hint, but in the past week, I've received a vast array of deodorant on my desk. I'm not upset because deodorant is something I hate buying but actually desire to have on my body at all times. What's unique about many of these deliveries is that they are natural deodorants [1] with a holiday scent.

Brands like Native and Schmidt's have come out with their latest holiday offerings [2]. And you know what? Kudos to said brands for making deodorant relevant this time of year. They know that white elephant exchanges are all the rage in office environments, and that the last thing someone really wants to get as a gift is something to make you stink less. However, when you add a scent like peppermint or pine, it instantly becomes an aromatic, cute gift to share. And since most people prefer gifts they want, not need — mom doesn't want a vacuum, for example, she wants a 24-hour sabbatical from mom duties — the last thing you would think of picking up as a gift is deodorant. In this case, it can be a tongue-in-cheek present or a way to make yourself feel more merriment during the holidays. Well played.

Having tested several of these pitmas offerings myself, I can tell you that they work just like to any other natural deodorant, and the scent does not "mix with your sweat." (Many of my coworkers were curious what smell that might produce.) You apply and get a whiff of the smell, which then disappears.

Expert opinion says this particular fragrance will lift your spirits and will make your armpits feel as jolly as an elf.

Schmidt's Natural Deodorant in Oh, Christmas Tree

Have you ever been in the middle of decorating your tree and thought, "My body could use a little extra pine scent?" Me too. I hate when that happens. Turns out I don't have to worry about not having a solution anymore, because Schmidt's Oh, Christmas Tree [4] ($9) deodorant makes me feel like I'm walking in a forest about to cut my own tree myself.

Schmidt's Natural Deodorant in Snow Day

Our office is in agreement that this particular deodorant smells like baby powder, which does not smell like snow. But how do you encapsulate what snow even smells like? It's water. Playing off powdery snow, Snow Day [5] ($9) will make you smell and feel fresh as a baby's bottom. (And is a scent that really isn't just holiday-centric!)

Schmidt's Natural Deodorant in Holiday Spice

Why just drink mulled wine when your pits can smell like it, too? Holiday Spice [6] ($9) rounds out the three Schmidt's holiday offerings with the fragrance notes of clove and cinnamon. Get your Crock Pot warmed up, crack open the cap of this festive deodorant, and get ready to cheers to a merry pitmas.

If you want a nice array of all the aforementioned scents in one stick, HH Body Care Holiday Spirit Deodorant [7] ($12) is like unwrapping an odor-fighting prezzie.
