She may run a hair-care empire as CEO and founder of Pattern, but Tracee Ellis Ross just proved she could have had an equally successful career as a deodorant saleswoman. Sharing her favorite things with The Strategist, the actress, activist and current Broadway star reserved her highest praise not for a skin-care cult favorite or a red-carpet must-have, but for an under-the-radar find: To My Ships Marjoram Roll-On Deodorant ($45).
The origin story is almost too good. “I found this deodorant at an art fair in Paris that I went to because a friend of mine was showing their homewares,” Ross said. “So, I went wandering around this art show and found this very pretty deodorant.”

And the glowing praise extends far beyond the packaging. “I love pretty things, but it also smells extraordinary and it does not have aluminum. It smells like perfume or oil and so your armpits become little treasure troves of beauty. And, you know, armpits are not the most glorious places on your body, but this deodorant makes it feel like they are filled with diamonds and pearls.”
The brand is also pretty confident you’ll like it, describing it as “an elegant product that functions as promised and smells exceptional, Stand Up Bravely Marjoram Roll-On Deodorant inhibits armpit odor for up to 24 hours, and imparts a crisp, fresh, earthy fragrance to the skin.”
