Aussies have rated Norsca as the top brand in Canstar Blue’s latest men’s deodorant ratings, with five stars across all categories, including effectiveness, scent, value for money, texture & consistency, packaging and overall satisfaction.
Our review compares men’s deodorant on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which men’s deodorant they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 1,027 Australians for their feedback on the men’s deodorant(s) (excluding body sprays and perfumes) they’ve purchased and used in the last six months.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

An Australian brand, Norsca offers deodorant for both men and women, all of which are made with no alcohol, parabens, silicones or sulfates, with sprays and roll-on products available for you to choose from, all of which are available in the signature Forest Fresh scent. The range is further split into anti-perspirant options, with the Instant Adrenalin option built for those with active lifestyles.
The difference between deodorants and antiperspirants is that deodorants aim to mask any odour, while antiperspirants aim to reduce how much you sweat, with sweating often directly correlating with odour.
Odour comes from the reaction between sweat and bacteria, with sweat itself not containing any odour. As a result, deodorants aim to mask odours, while antiperspirants look to prevent sweating. While both achieve the same result – you not creating a stink – they achieve it by attacking the problem from either side.
Most brands advertise a 2-in-1 solution, meaning you’ll be able to get the most protection from sweat and odours. If you’re prone to sweating, antiperspirants should be more effective. But if body odour is a problem, deodorants may give you some respite.
