Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called "Black Pagoda" and "Lipstick Plant"?
The "Black Pagoda" name refers to the dramatic purple-black foliage, while "Lipstick Plant" describes how the bright red tubular flowers emerge from dark calyxes, resembling lipstick coming out of a tube. This variety combines both dramatic dark foliage and spectacular blooms.

With proper care, Black Pagoda Lipstick Plants can bloom multiple times throughout the year. Bright light, consistent moisture, and good humidity encourage more frequent flowering. Mature plants typically bloom more prolifically than young ones.
How do I encourage more flowering?
Provide bright, indirect light, maintain consistent moisture, and ensure good humidity. Regular feeding during the growing season and allowing the plant to become slightly root-bound can also encourage blooming. Pinching growing tips promotes bushier growth and more flowering sites.

For dry pits, this is it!
Style: Casked Vanilla, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff works great. I used to use the Dove Men+ but they changed the formula and it did not work as well for me
This formula (aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly) works phenomenally keeping the under arms dry and the Casked Vanilla is a nice, long lasting scent. Easily lasts all day and still smells fresh after 36-ish hours. I have not experienced any irritation. Glad I found this product!

Strong scent, strong protection
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Cremo Deodorant for Men with the 48‑hour sweat and odor protection, and it does a genuinely good job of keeping me dry and fresh through a normal workday and into the evening. The formula goes on smoothly without tugging, feels comfortable on the skin, and I haven’t noticed irritation or marks on my shirts, which is a big plus if you wear darker colors. The scent is classic Cremo: richer and more layered than a typical drugstore stick, so you get a more “cologne‑like” vibe rather than a basic soapy smell.
In terms of performance, it holds up really well for office, errands, and casual activity, and you only really start to notice it fading after a long, hot day or heavier workouts. If you run very hot or do intense outdoor work, you might want to reapply or pair it with a body spray, but for most day‑to‑day situations the protection is more than enough. Overall, if you like bolder, sophisticated scents and want something that feels a step up from basic antiperspirants without complicating your routine, this stick is easy to recommend.

Smells Incredible and Actually Works!
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
’ve tried a lot of men’s deodorants over the years, but this one from Cremo — Palo Santo Antiperspirant & Deodorant — really stands out. The scent is next-level: smooth, woodsy, and just a little bit exotic without being overpowering. It smells high-end, almost like a cologne you’d pay good money for.
Performance-wise, it absolutely delivers. I stay dry and fresh all day, even through long work hours and workouts. The 48-hour protection claim actually holds up — I’ve gone a full day and into the next morning without any trace of odor or stickiness.
It also goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave white marks on dark shirts, and doesn’t have that waxy or powdery feel some antiperspirants do. The packaging feels premium too, which fits the Cremo brand.
Bottom line: If you want a deodorant that smells incredible and actually performs like it says it will, this one’s worth every penny. Palo Santo is now my go-to scent — masculine, clean, and unique.

Pleasant scent, decent protection, fades by evening
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Vintage Suede scent is pleasant and professional - not overpowering. Provides decent odor protection through most of the workday, though I've noticed it starts to fade after about 6-7 hours during long shifts at the dealership. The 48-hour claim seems optimistic. Goes on smooth without leaving white residue on dark shirts, which is appreciated. For the price point, it's a solid everyday deodorant. Works well enough for office environment but might need reapplication for very active days or hot weather. Good value but not exceptional performance.
