I tend not to use deodorant sprays and always opt for the healthier roll on variety, however, I can always make an exception for Dove.

Using a Dove product always makes you feel like you're being kinder to your skin... no doubt purely because of their advertising campaign. However, this deodorant spray is light and soft and certainly does feel "kinder" on the skin than some other alernatives.

~~~ Packaging ~~~
The spray comes in a can or aerosol and has a larger rubbery button at the top which you press lightly to spray the product. It has a little plastic lid which will inevetably get lost or fall off in bags etc.
The decoration is a bright yellow, juicy looking grapefruit which implies that the spray will smell really citrussy.

~~~ Scent and Effectiveness ~~~
I HATE grapefruit. I can't stand the taste or the smell. To me, grapefruit tastes like what I imagine sweaty feet would taste like...boak.

However, this spray is not citrussy and sour like grapefruit. Instead it smells light and fresh and fruity with a nice sweet lemony fragrace. As with all Dove products theres a slight "powdery" scent too which makes it smell clean and fresh, I really love the scent of this deodorant and I enjoy using it...particularly during the summer when theres a distict lack of sunshine! The scent makes me think of nice sunny days (as opposed to the grim grey reality of summer in Scotland!)

The anti-persperant effects of this spray are great. It does not seem to clog the pores or make you feel sticky. Its a very light, dry spray. Even with a fair amout of heat and exercise this spray helps me to feel fresh and dry with no ugly sweat patches (ladies glow, afterall) and definately no nasty B.O. smell. Instead it leaves me smelling all sweet and lemony and lovely!

~~~ Overall ~~~
I'd certainly recommend this for normal, daily anti-persperant use. It wouldn't stand up to a long workout in the gym or anything... but then... what kind of bionic, chemical laden poison would you need to slap under your arms to stop you sweating in the gym??? Don't really fancy that myself so I'll stick with the old Dove.

I bought my Dove for £1 on offer in a Lloyds Pharmacy. It's usually around £2.50 in most supermarkets or chemists.
