Advantages: Smells great, woirks well, its Dove

Disadvantages: Nothing worth mentioning

As I have said on many occasions when it comes to deodorant it has to be Dove for me. Not only does it work well but it is also ideal for using straight after shaving with no painful stinging. I do occasionally try others but I always end up coming back to Dove.

I always use the roll on version, which I find easy to use and it dries almost instantly, which is a big plus for any roll on deodorant. Many times in the past I have been seen walking round the bedroom flapping my arms up and down like some strange bird trying to dry my deodorant before I could get dressed but not so with Dove.

Once you get to the roll on section of the Dove range there is still a choice to be made - there's Dove Original, Dove Sensitive, Dove Pro Age and Dove Fresh Touch to name but four and there are probably many more!

The one that I am currently using is Dove Deodorant Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea Scent and it currently costs about £2.00 for a 50ml container. Mind you there are often special offers to be found so keep your eyes open - I do! The container is made completely from plastic so it is recycleable, which is another good point as far as I am concerned.

The container of the Dove roll on deodorants has undergone a redesign in recent times. They have got rid of the odd curved shape and changed to a bullet shape which now stands the other way up with the roll on ball at the base of the container rather than at the top. It's about time as far as I am concerned! Now I don't have to balance the deodorant container upside down in the cupboard to try and get the last bit out - well done Dove! Every little helps in the current economic climate after all.

Anyway the screw cap remains and is bright green in this case and the label on the front tells us that it is 'anti perspirant, anti transpirant and deodorant' so that should keep me dry then.

Having unscrewed the cap you find a fairly big ball, if you'll pardon the expression, which makes actually applying the deodorant to your underarms nice and easy. The deodorant always runs freely and I have never had any problem with it drying out, especially now the container has been improved.

As with all Dove products this deodorant is one quarter moisturising cream and as always smells it lovely. I can smell the cucumber fragrance but it seems to have an almost citrusy tang to it as well - it certainly doesn't make me smell like a salad! The main thing is that the smell is very fresh and clean.

The deodorising and antiperspirant effect lasts all day even in hot weather, and when I am out in the garden sawing and chopping wood for our log burner!

The only minor problem that I found with the new design was that, after I had used the deodorant, and replaced the cap I usually found that there was a small amount of the deodorant around the seal where the cap met the main body of the container. A quick wipe soon sorted this so it isn't a real problem.

Being a roll on, it is in a small container making it ideal to take on holiday, and as it contains no propellant it can be taken on an aeroplane with no fear of explosions.

The other advantage of using a roll on deodorant is that it is kind to the environment, as it does not contain any CFC gases.

In conclusion I am very impressed with this deodorant - it works well, it isn't expensive and it smells lovely!

I will still give this 5 stars even though there is sometimes a bit of a mess round the lid after use, because I do think that the new design is a vast improvement on the old one and the deodorant does work well - as ever with Dove!

Summary: Another winner from Dove
