I went to Rite Aid two days ago, and I knew what I wanted: an unscented antiperspirant that I couldn't see. I bought this Mitchum Gel at first, which was pretty good because it was a gel, but I returned it because it smelled like rotten hand sanitizer. I exchanged it for some Arm & Hammer deo, which smelt like crayon and made my underarms look white and pasty. Old Spice doesn't seem to have an unscented one, so can anyone recommend a deodorant that is truly scentless and invisible? The Mitchum one was perfect because it was invisible but it really stunk. I do not want to use a block of alum.
Can anyone recommend a truly unscented and invisible antiperspirant?

Why is it you don't want to use alum? Just curious.
I use the Crystal brand deodorant and it works quite well.

Try Certain Dri. Works great, but make sure you read the instructions, cause you don't use it like normal antipersperant.

I don't know, it could get messy if I had to wet the block every time. I'm not saying it's not effective, but I'm sure I would make a big mess with it.
Don't laugh....ok laugh. Secret makes an unscented invisible that works well. I sweat so much and have to change up my AP on a regular schedule or it stops working. The Alum block does a good job of inhibiting bacteria growth, highly recommended.
Trader Joes.
I use Crystal and love it. I pass the tip of the stick once under the tap very quickly, give it a shake, then apply. Never any mess, whatsoever. And all I feel under my arm is just a very slight dampness from the water (and that goes away quickly). Nothing else; no goo, no stickiness, no powder, no residue, no scent, no nothing.
And one ~$6.00 stick has lasted me for about 9 months (ans still going).
As always, YMMV, but it works great for me.
I have a feeling that alum would be in fact much less messy than the gel.
Huh? I use Mitchum unscented gel, and I don't notice an odor. I just smelled my underarms here at work... yep, NO ODOR! +1 on the alum-type deodorant, but keep in mind that it is just a deodorant, NOT an anti-perspirant. I reserve crystal/alum deodorants for winter use.
Also, alum isn't an antiperspirant, just a deodorant.
You'll still sweat, but won't get the growth of bacteria that causes the smell.

I use the Thai crystal stick, have for years, no odor or sweat for me, and I sweat like a running faucet with just a bit of exertion. 
I have used Dry Idea gel for a few years now. Lately it doesn't seem to be working quite as well as it used to, though. It has just the tiniest bit of "Purell" scent to it, but once you apply it you can't smell it anymore.
I like Arrid XX Dry. It's white, but it seems to go on pretty much clear, and it has no scent whatsoever.

Dry Idea-unscented. Have been using this for years. No scent, goes on clear, and works like a dream.
Ban Unscented Roll-On is pretty good stuff. Goes on clear, truly unscented, works well as long as you let it dry. Unfortunately, like nearly every antiperspirant I've used, it stained my shirts and actually caused me to sweat more than I normally would.
I've switched to the Crystal deodorant and I love it. I still sweat normally, but without any odor, stains or extra perspiration.

Mitchum Smart Solid Unscented. Usually in the women's section.
Haven't used anything else for years. Every so often I try something else and am reminded why I stick to Mitchum!

I use either Suave unscented in the spray can or a Thai Crystal stick when I'm traveling. Both work very well.
I've used a brand that can be found at tccd.com, and they have several different types of applicator, from roll on to dry. Give them a look, as they are inexpensive. I have used NATURALLY FRESH DEODORANT CRYSTAL - BLUE TWIST-UP STICK W/ ALOE VERA for about 10 years and no complaints. FYI, I did hard manual labor for the first 4 of the 10 years. The beauty of this product is there are no stains on my shirts. A problem I dealt with for years prior to switching to this brand.
