I have used Speed Stick unscented for years, as did my Dad before me; that’s where I got the idea.
Every deodorant smells disgusting to me, any help?

I don’t like the scented deodorant and I hate the sticky liquid ones, so I use Sure Unscented. But it’s hard to find also.
Another vote for Mitchum unscented. One good thing about it is that you can use it every other day and it is still effective.
I feel ya bro I typically stick with an unscented myself. There's always DIY deodorant ? I haven't done it personally but I know people who have. I didn't have much success personally with alum.
I like Ralph Lauren polo
Old Spice Classic Scent stick. My local ShopRite stocks it, but I could get it a bit cheaper by buying a six pack from Amazon.
To me, it smells like...Old Spice.
Now...if you're willing to spend some money, Ogallala has their Bay Rum and Bay Rum with different scents in a deodorant stick. I used them for quite a while and liked them very much...but...expensive compared to the Old Spice.

I sweat heavily and am in the process of trying more natural products. Here’s what is working for me. Note that none of these stop the sweat but do help with the stink.
1. Shaved my pits. This alone helped immeasurably.
2. Tried an alum block. Only works if I reapply multiple times a day.
3. Tried a paste called Routine; it is made in Calgary and available at Choices in the Lower Mainland. Choices will give you a sample that lasts about a week. I like the Johnny’s Cash scent.
4. Don’s, made on Saltspring Island is similar to Routine. The scents are less complex, but it is $10 cheaper and the lemon scent is nice.

Speed Stick Regular, it’s a nice spicy scent.
Crystal alum is unscented
I switch between Jack Black Pit Boss (pricey but its a solid stick that lasts for ages) and Clinique for men anti-antiperspirant roll on. The JB has quite a fresh scent, so maybe not what you are after but works well at stopping sweating without staining clothes. The Clinique has no scent so I wear it when I am wearing cologne and again works well at stopping sweating without staining clothes.
Two squirts of Witch Hazel from a small spray bottle followed by Alum rock. No smell. Been using this for years now.
I use this:

The yellow can. It's smells like baby powder but not straight up baby powder... More like a refined slightly peppery but light powdery scent. My wife has used it in a pinch because it's scent is light and neutral and it's also great to give a quick shot in a pair of sneakers.
One can is about $3 and lasts me almost 3 months of daily use.
ARRID™ Extra Dry™ XX Regular Aerosol Spray // Arrid
Maximum strength protection. Convenient application for all day protection.

Another vote for the Mitchum unscented. It's the best balance of unscented and actually keeps me dry - I have hyperhidrosis and don't like the medication that makes my pits burn like someone is stabbing me with flaming needles and Mitchum works for me. I'll occasionally try something else but always end up going back to Mitchum.

Just use an alum block for antiperspirant and splash a bit of your favorite aftershave for scent if you like.
Sure Unscented works for me.
I think there are two ways to deal with it. If you really want to use a deodorant (why in 2020?), use Tabac Original deostick or a higher end stick (most EdTs come with a matching deostick). The other is (what I would prefer) to use an antiperspirant roll-on (scented or unscented) instead of a deodorant plus an EdT. The scent of the roll-on, if it has any, is gone quickly, and you can choose to smell really great instead of just ok or nice.
