I think ideally you can try the complimenting deo to your cologne, if there is any available. It helps to bring up the main facets of your fragrance. If the cologne doesn't have one, then I would say any deodorant with warm/woodsy notes would work. E.g. I use Baldessarini's Amber deodorant stick with my Heritage and they goes perfect together. Marshall's or TJMaxx always have brand name deo's for real cheap, comparing to a companion piece which usually costs a lot.

I discovered some time ago that matching (company) deo-sticks are of very good quality, not to mention that they are matching the cologne so well (I even use some traces of it on my chest sometimes).
Btw, I have few matching deosticks bought in sets for I. Miyake Intense, D&G Light Blue, Armani Emporio Lui, Chopard Noble Vetiver and Kenneth Cole Reaction, which are performing even 12 hrs! if I don't oversweat. Great stuff!

Hey thanks for the responses! 
yeah that's a good idea to get the matching deo stick, i hadn't thought to look for that. It makes sense that using a combo like that would increase the longevity because of the different layers..
I just searched for it and the matching deo for my Chanel Allure Pour Homme is over $20 a stick.. 
lol I'll check the local T.J.Max to see if they have it for cheaper.. I really like the idea of having a deo that's made to match my cologne, but idk if i can justify spending that much right now on deodorant..lol Maybe I'll just experiment with different scented deodorants from Degree or Old Spice or something and try to find one that blends nicely with the Chanel..

You're welcome! Btw, those 20$ can be spent wisely for a high quality deostick which will last you minimum 6 months...trust me on this.
I had in the past some skin rushes there because I used some sticky deo roll-ons or 'antiperspirant' deo-sprays from local stores which irritated my skin and didn't let it sweat properly...that's the whole ideea! - to sweat in a 'nice scented' way.

Spray your chest with the Cologne and go to the store and smell the deodorants to see if they match. The woody notes might be the most tricky to match, but the Citrus might mix with some of the Old Spice or Axe Deodorants. On a finishing note of wisdom, buy any Men's Antiperspirant Deodorant, Unscented and then there is no worry about mixing fragrances.

I cannot imagine trying to do that matching deodorant at this point in my addiction....errrr....collecting. 
Like the others, I just buy the Ban or Mitchum unscented antiperspirant and call it good.
Chypres and florals and woods, oh my!

+1 same here
to be honest, finding matching deodorant would be pain in the neck since they sell it usually inside a gift set

Re: Matching Deodorant and Cologne
Totally on board with the unscented.
However, a hotel I stayed at several times had Hermes d'Orange Vert soap, shampoo and lotion. It was a great scent.
I've found that longevity claims are mostly myth, but the different application method might make for a more lasting application as it's deodorant and not soap, etc.
Anyway, it is nice. We don't only do this for women, but for ourselves. And it is a bit of a class act. I'm surprised that scent companies don't actually put the products on the internet more often. In business terms, it could be considered the long tail. Of course, they'd need to lower the price to achieve a more realistic business model with the long tail. This could be achieved for women, I think, easily. For men, it may be harder, but considering how strong Axe has preformed with young men, it could be opening the door for more consumption.
Think of it as something akin to Ernest and Julio Gallo's pink wine in the 70s and 80s. It introduced people to wine and helped open up the market. Bah... For now, it's expensive and if we can't exactly get samples for testing, it's a risk.
I will also say that there is some research, as of yet inconclusive, that antiperspirants are implicated in breast cancer. There is a deviation from the norm / past, in the number of upper outside quadrant cases of breast cancer. Women, of course, tend to shave frequently, if not daily and this is suspected of playing a role. Again, it's inconclusive. The point being that switching to deodorant instead of antiperspirant may be a harmless change in habit that could be quite beneficial. In that case I think many of us would prefer more sophisticated scents that match our cologne. Ugh... more buying, more complicated.
