Sweating is fine. Stinking is not.
There's no shame in perspiration; your body needs to naturally regulate its temperature and manage stress. If your sweat is offensive, however—that is, if you stink—then you've got a problem. A good deodorant should mask any musk that comes with the day's many aggressors.

Just like its soap, Dove's deodorant stick is infused with moisturizer to protect your skin from dryness—often a side effect of sweat-stopping sticks.

Oud Wood Deodorant Stick
Though Tom Ford once famously said that men shouldn't use deodorant—he prefers the smell of sweat—he makes a pretty good case against himself with his Oud Wood stick. Maybe chalk it up to one of life's great ironies.
