I just use my body lotion as deodorant. I find that when you groom the area under the arms that uhmmmm... the scent does not linger if you know what I mean. Hair takes on scents and it just stays there!
I like the sound of no using anything at all, but men sweat (perspire) 40% more than women. I am waiting to see if my change to lacto-ovo-vegetarianism is going to make a difference to my body odour. I think it has already, but have to wait for the warmer weather to tell for sure. It is now reaching just above 0c (32F) with temperatures all the way up to 7c (44F) up here on the warmest of days in the great white north, where By the way, there is still lots of snow.

Body hair is designed trap scent... to the rest of the animal kingdom we are a "stinky" species. Grooming helps with this along with a scent to cover the scent of human.
I read an article in one of the magazines devoted to Health, and in this article the author spoke about eating only fruits and veggies and how he now smelled like strawberries when ever he worked out! So food and human scent are linked. As well as body hair coarseness.
What is needed for a deodorant to stick is scent and an affixadent to make the scent stick... Beeswax is great for this--- some herbal deodorants are simply a salve with a higher ratio of beeswax to infused oil and essential oils! LOL! You could cook up your own in about 20 minutes! LOL
If any are interested I will post the recipe.
