I did find it there eventually, but now I am living in San Francisco again, so I can find it everywhere;

owen, essaye la parapharmacie Lafayette, place Wilson. J’y ai vu des déo de ce genre, après je ne me souviens pas du prix. Mais normalement cette parapharmacie est la moins chère de France…
Quand au fond de ton article: nooooooooooooooon! je peux pas être d’accord!
Les français se lavent et ils utilisent du déo. Well your post makes me laugh anyway.

Crystal deodorant is a stone, a crystal I guess, that you rub under your arms just like regular deodorant, but it is all natural and it works, and if you are like me and get a rash with regular deodorants, you should try it. It also works as an after shave for razor burns, although I highly suggest using a different one under your arms instead of using the same one on your face, just my $.02. In French they are called pierre d’alum and I finally found a place to buy them at a reasonable price.

what is crystal deoderant? seriously… I’ve heard of solid, roll-on, spray, cream. Is it something you can’t get in america?

You wouldn’t have been able to see him in that state. He is the most lo tech person I know. He works 9-1 only, has no receptionist or computer, writes out his referral appointments on the back of used envelopes, writes his own case files on scraps of paper and paper clips them in order and puts them in those ubiquitous accordeon folders only the french still use., and DOES NOT take appointments, yet and still I really like him. He gives you his complete attention and recommends any relevant tests and with the same wave of the arm dismisses the cost, not that we have to pay, but he says, you need it, you should get it done. If you’d like his name we can certainly give it to you.

Hmmm. Maybe you should give me the name of your doctor (inspite of the deodorant thing). To understand why, read this post: Cyberfrance: another point of view from Lost in France: superficial

Thanks Kim, but I am set for now, but Christmas is not far away.

Michelle, just to be clear, crystal deodorant is what I am seeking, not that other stuff.

What a great post! It made me laugh so hard, especially the crystal meth part. There’s no doubt you’ll be getting lots of that crystal deoderant in the mail. We’ll be sure to bring some when whenever we come to visit.

there’s a TJ’s right up the street, tell me where to send it. Also, weren’t you so excited by the Obama outdoor rally in Portland, Oregon this week-end? 75,000+ showed up. Go, Portland and Go Obama!
