Answer 1

When gas expands it cooles down – this is the reversal of why your bike pump heats up when you pump up the tire of your bike. The gas in the deodorant expands to bring the deodorant.

There is a second effect – the deodorant is wet, which cooles you down just as if you sprayed water on yourself
