Deodorant doesn't block, but masks the smell by using another scent. Antiperspirants prevent the body from sweating as much or at all. The smell is the aftereffect of various processes after your body sweats. If you don't sweat, you won't smell as much.

Modern use of the word 'deodorant' often refers to a deodorant/antiperspirant combination.
