Yes that’s right, should you attempt to use this deodorant, you’ll require a gas mask!

I never actually bought this deodorant; it was actually out of one of the hundreds of thousands of deodorant/shower gel or deodorant/after-shave sets that I and everybody else seem to get during the Christmas period and had been lying in my cupboard for around 8 months or so, so I decided to give it a try and see what it’s quality was like.

I myself am not too fussy on any strong smelling deodorants; I’d much prefer the milder smelling ones like “Addictions”, etc, and I just can’t stand deodorants that over-power you or make you smell as if you have fell into a vat in a soap factory, well that’s where Gillette’s Cool Wave Deodorant comes in, to say this stuff is strong is an understatement, it absolutely reeks.

Upon reading the writing on the aerosol, I noticed the wordings of “A distinctive body spray for men with a cool, crisp scent that keeps you feeling fresh and confident with it’s long-lasting deodorant protection”, I would like to change that wording to my own description of the deodorant, so here goes, “A very distinctive stench for men that don’t like company (as no-one will stand within ten miles of you) with a cool, sharp as a razor sting when spraying on your body and leaves a cloud of chemicals circling you all day”.

One thing that I must admit about this deodorant is, it surely gets rid of any BO (Body Odour) you might have, I mean come on, you could not bath for a year and spray this stuff on you and no-one would be none the wiser, it really is that strong.

The first thing I noticed about “Cool Wave” upon using it was, the extremity of the smell, just one tiny spray under my arms, and immediately my bedroom was engulfed in the stench, it actually takes your breath away and has you gasping for fresh air. Another thing I no
ticed, was the over-cold feeling and the stinging of the skin, once the deodorant touches it, it was like spraying liquid oxygen under my arm-pit, Ok, I know, I’m exaggerating there and no I have never tried spraying liquid oxygen under my arm-pits, but I think you get my drift.

I’m not actually too sure how much this stuff costs for a bottle, actually, I’m not too sure if they actually still sell or make the stuff, as I visited the Gillette web page and there was no mention of the stuff (They’ve probably sold all the stock to Bin Laden and his crew, to use as a chemical weapon against the USA), or they’ve probably stopped making it because of complaints or something, but I should imagine it would cost around £2.00 to £2.50 a bottle, should it still be available.

There is no mention on the bottle about the stuff being “Ozone-friendly”, not that that doesn’t surprise me, I mean if half the population used this stuff, there would be no ozone left around the Earth and come to think of it, no bloody oxygen.

Ingredients: Isobutane, Alcohol Denat, Propane, Triethyl Cirate, Parfum and Aqua.

Nothing unusual in the ingredients then, just the normal concoction of highly inflammable gases and a bit of perfume added.

Oh well, as you can now guess, I’m not recommending this product, unless you want to buy it for someone you can’t stand and make sure you don’t live in the same house as the recipient, Hmm, that’s got me thinking, who actually bought me this now?
