deodorant
This term refers to products designed to neutralize or cover odors, often specifically associated with underarm perspiration. It is frequently confused with antiperspirants; while a deodorant masks smell, an antiperspirant uses aluminum salts to physically block sweat glands. In common speech, the two are often used interchangeably, though they perform different chemical functions.
When used as an adjective, the word describes the functional property of a product, such as a deodorant soap or deodorant powder. This usage is more technical and descriptive than the noun form, which typically refers to the physical product in a bottle or stick.
