Advantages: Good smell.

Disadvantages: Doesn't last an 'active' 24 hours!

I received a 35ml aerosol version of this deodorant in a goodie bag some time ago whilst participating in the 'Race for Life'.

- Price -

The aerosol version of this anti-perspirant is quite a bit cheaper than the roll on.
Current prices at Boots are:
150ml aerosol - £2.40 (£1.60 per 100ml)
50ml roll-on - £2.30 ( £4.60 per 100ml)

- What does it promise? -

~ 24 hour confidence.
~ Anti-perspirant protection.
~ Gentle Nivea care.
~ Contains lemongrass for energising freshness.

- The difference between an anti-perspirant and a deodorant -

A deodorant simply masks body odours with fragrances whereas an anti-perspirant works by reducing the amount of perspiration produced, resulting in a reduction of BO. This by 'name' should fit in to the latter definition.

- My experience -

I have to point out that in terms of perspiring or less lady-like, sweating..... I'm probably average. I don't get very sweaty unless I'm dancing for a fair few hours and that's when I need some good protection in order to combat any undesirable odours!

I tend to buy any deodorant / anti-perspirant that is on offer at the time, be it roll-on or aerosol, however I do prefer the cool feeling of an aerosol spray as opposed to a roll-on.

~ The smell

I really like the scent of this, it's clean and fresh without being too heavy and clashing with other perfumes etc that you may want to wear alongside it.

~ White mark test

Unlike other aerosol anti-perspirants that I've used, this doesn't leave a 'clag' of white on my underarm. It sprays evenly and takes a matter of seconds to dry without leaving the undesired white mark on any black clothes that I have put on after using it.

~ Efficiency

Despite it's claim, this does not keep you smelling fresh and fragrant for a full 24 hours! It could possibly do this if you were sitting down all day and night and no physical exertion took place.

However, it does work for me for the full day but I would and have replenished for a night out.

All in all, an effective deodorant but not a 24 hour one!

Summary: A good anti-perspirant but cheaper ones do the same job!
