Review: Every Man Jack 48H Odor Defense Deodorant in Redwood Forest & Pacific Surf

Luckily, I’m not the kind of guy who struggles with excessive sweating, but using a deodorant is still part of my daily routine — and always has been. For me, there are three key things that make a great deodorant: it has to last all day without irritation, have a pleasant scent that’s not overpowering, and most importantly, leave no stains on my clothes.

A little while ago, the team at Every Man Jack reached out to me to try their new launch — two deodorants from their 48H Odor Defense collection. Naturally, I was curious. Could a deodorant really keep you fresh for 48 hours?

I put both scents — Redwood Forest and Pacific Surf — to the test through my active everyday life: from stressful school runs with the kids and long dog walks with Marlow, to my recent road trip across France. I can honestly say these deodorants have been properly tested.

Here’s my honest review of the new Every Man Jack 48H Odor Defense system — now available exclusively at Target.

Packaging & First Impressions

The packaging is very much in line with other Every Man Jack deodorants — simple, functional, and masculine. However, I have to say I really like the color combination on this new 48H Odor Defense edition. It feels a bit more modern and refined. Everything you need to know is clearly displayed on the front, which I always appreciate.

The twist “wheel” at the bottom to move the deodorant stick up and down works perfectly, and the cap fits snugly without any issues. Overall, the execution is spot-on — clean, practical, and true to the brand’s identity.

My Experience

The first thing you need to know about me is that I shave my armpits, so I’m very careful about what I apply there. Irritation is a deal-breaker. This deodorant contains 0% aluminium, tapioca starch to help absorb moisture, postbioticsto promote skin balance, and oat powder to neutralize odour. It’s a very natural formula — and I can confirm that it caused no redness or irritation whatsoever. The stick glides on smoothly, feels comfortable, and doesn’t leave that sticky sensation some deodorants do.

Now, let’s talk about performance. Honestly, this stuff is seriously good. I’m usually skeptical when brands claim “48-hour protection,” but Every Man Jack really delivers. It keeps me dry and fresh all day long, even through busy, sweaty days. On occasions when I didn’t shower before bed, I noticed that the deodorant was still doing its job perfectly the next morning. I shower daily, so I can’t confirm the full 48 hours, but I’d say it lasts at least 30 hours with ease — probably more.

During my recent trip to France, where temperatures reached around 25°C, it continued to perform brilliantly. No unpleasant smells, no dampness — just a clean, confident feeling all day long.

When it comes to scent, that’s where this deodorant truly shines. I like a woody, masculine scent that’s not overpowering — something that complements my fragrance rather than competes with it. Lately, I’ve been wearing Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren, a classic sporty fragrance that I rediscovered and still love. With that in mind, I didn’t want a deodorant that would be too strong. Every Man Jack absolutely nailed the scent balance here. Both Redwood Forest and Pacific Surf smell amazing, but not overwhelming. If I had to pick a favourite, Pacific Surf wins — it’s fresh, light, and smells like the sea.

And finally, the ultimate test — no stains. For me, that’s non-negotiable. If a deodorant ruins a black T-shirt, it’s straight in the bin. Thankfully, Every Man Jack passed this test with flying colours. No white marks, no residue, and it dries almost instantly after application.

In short, Every Man Jack has nailed all three things that matter most to me: long-lasting freshness, a perfectly balanced scent, and zero stains.

Conclusion

100% No Residue!

I love this deodorant — no stains, no irritation, just all-day freshness. It glides on smoothly and dries instantly, which means no awkward white marks on your clothes, even black ones.

After testing both scents from the Every Man Jack 48H Odor Defense System, I can confidently say this is one of the best natural deodorants I’ve used in a long time. It does everything I expect from a deodorant — keeps me fresh all day, doesn’t irritate my skin, smells great without being overpowering, and leaves no stains on my clothes.

If you’re looking for a natural, aluminium-free deodorant that truly performs, this is one to try. And the best part? It’s currently available exclusively at Target for under $10 — a great price for such a high-quality, clean product.

Every Man Jack has done an outstanding job here. Simple, effective, and perfect for everyday use.
