Shalom,
Yes, you can use a roll on deodorant on Shabbat since there is no prohibition to create smell with and on your body. And since it is made of liquid there is no prohibition of 'Memacheik' - Smoothing / scraping.
On the other hand, one can not use a solid stick deodorant on Shabbat because of the 'Memacheik' - Smoothing/scraping prohibition.
Shabbat Shalom,
Alon Anava
