Funny, the same thing happened to me with the toothpaste. I couldn't stand anything like my usual Mentadent or Colgate anymore. I've been using Tom's Natural for over a year now. And I have some new hippie deodorant that I got from Whole Paycheck that smells likes lavander and I NEVER get stinky! Well, except when I went on this 12 mile hike and forgot to use deordorant and shower that day. Funky...but in a good way, I think!
