Deodorant for a Man

Question

Hello Rabbi, is there a prohibition for a man to use deodorant, and is it permitted to apply it to clothing?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

It is permitted for a man to apply deodorant intended for men, and there is no concern of the prohibition of “lo yilbash.”

The permission applies both to applying it to the body and to clothing.
