Addressed this before, so, to summarize:
-Deodorant was invented by a doctor for his hands, which his daughter then turned into a flawed version of what eventually became what we know today.
.
And, no, it wasn't created to solve a "fake" problem. People stink. And the closer together and worse our diets get, the worse the problem gets. Even when we don't stink, we still sweat. At the time of the invention people were literally wearing padding in their clothing to try and deal with the problem.
This is totally true, but I'd like to point out that antiperspirants have been linked to higher breast cancer rates. So don't stink, but be careful people!

Aleppo soap, made from olive and laurel oil, is the only thing you need. Anything else is (at best) useless or even dangerous. You can use it as body soap, shampoo, and even shaving cream. The olive oil soap is cleansing while not drying out the skin too much, the laurel oil is a proven antibiotic and anti-fungal. It doesn't exactly smell nice as a bar, but it really blends in with what a human being smells like. It's proven effective against what causes people to stink: microbes and fungi in a moist and warm environment eating your sweat and dander. Wash these parts with Aleppo soap on a daily base and you won't need deodorants, which in many cases ruin the natural processes on your skin. Antiperspirants are downright a health hazard. If you sweat a lot, step up your water&soap game and change your clothes more often. If you need to smell "nice" apply some perfume on more suitable parts of your body than your armpits.
