About the Brand

Scully's founder, David Schulhoff, tried a lot of antiperspirants and deodorants, but none of them worked for him. He didn’t like the artificial smell and feel, and how they stained his shirts. Then his mom happened to mention that his grandfather used to make his own.

David's grandfather Scully, as he was known, was a practical genius who started a rubber factory in Baltimore in the 1920s and later became the co-inventor of the plunger. The story goes that David's grandmother agreed to marry Scully on the condition that he wouldn’t come home stinking from the factory every day. You couldn’t just buy deodorant at the store back then, so he got to work creating one himself.

David tracked down part of the old recipe and spent months in the kitchen reworking it, using all-natural ingredients, careful to ensure it was clean and clear to prevent odors and stains on clothing. Then history repeated itself: his wife was thrilled with the final product. She even started using it herself – and soon so did everyone else.
