I think deodorant makes more of a smell and is there to diguise/overpower your own body smells. Where as anti-perspirant is designed to stop you sweating/absorb sweat rather than just cover up the smell.

Deodorants just make the area applied to smell more pleasant. Anti-perspirants as the name implies prevents the sweat glands from being more active in secreting sweat out of the area upon which it is applied to.
Anti-prespirants are not advisable since they prevent the normal reaction of the skin against a condition that necessitates sweating. Sweating is the body's normal response to heat being built up in the body. Its like a cooling system. When the body warms up it damages the tissues just like heat stroke causing death.
So avoid anti-perspirants as much as possible.
To smell good, the best solution is to observe personal hygiene at all times. Enjoy ur shower!!!

The difference between them are that deodorants are for you not to smell bad and keep the stink away. And the anti- anti-perspirants are for clogging up the pores, so you don't sweat.

The anti perspirants are to keep your under arm glands from sweeting. The Deodorant is for helping your armpit not to smell bad

deodorants block smell
anti-perspirants stop sweating and odor
all anti-perspirants are deodorants but not all deodorants are anti-perspirants

deodorant is the cover up scent.
anti-perspirant is made with an aluminum-based compound used to block sweat glands.

Not much of a difference except its function, but both go in the underarm.
Deoderants have a scent to reduce underarm smells, anti-persperant is to reduce wetness and at the same time dryness from a deoderant.

Deodorants are used to mask the underarm odor and don't stop you from sweating. Antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweating under your arms and cover the odor.
