Old spice Blue vs White stuff (lemmy.world)

While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I've gotten burned with what I'm getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don't care if they took the aluminum off, I'm not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I'm not a sissyfus type of person, but hey if someone was poking you in the armpits that would hurt.

So here I am thinking...hmm deodorant is the blue stuff! Antiperspirant is the white stuff. But no. Now there seems no difference. So does anyone have a good aroma deodorant that not white irritation based for me to try from Amazon?

This is likely due to one of two things.

Amazon is bucketing deodorant and antiperspirant + deodorant in the same spot so it's random what you get.
A retailer mislabeled their stock and it got put in the wrong bin, so people get wrong products until all that stock is gone. Amazon comingles products so changing the seller won't help.
The picker grabbed the wrong item. This probably isn't the case.
