Advantages: Everything

Disadvantages: None at all

I own so many anti-perspirants and have so many on my dressing table that I'm sure that if you saw them you'd be convinced I had a BO problem I was seriously trying to hide from the world lol. I don't though and the reason I don't is cos of looking after myself the way I do! I've never once whiffed any mucky aroma on me in the sweat department either.....ever actually! lol.

I do love a good spray and I'm not really a roll on sort of girl. I like to spray and go and at all costs of course avoid dreaded white marks, which usually are...sadly... unavoidable. However Palmolive is a brand I really do like as I equate it to being kind and gentle stuff and this was on offer in my local Sainsbury's priced at £1.00 a can instead of £1.89 as it's usually priced and I took a sniff of the the can and liked what I smelt so bagged myself one. Did I need it? No but that's a whole other story for another time lol.

The Packaging....

White can with a slight curve/dent to it's middle for ease of handling. There is a light plastic domed shape lid that covers a white plastic push button sprayer and on the front of the can there is a picture of a pink orchid drawn on there. In white, pink and black writing I'm told it is Palmolive Soft & Gentle 'Eden' Wild Orchid Anti-Perspirant Deodorant that is '24 hour body responsive'. On the back (now all in pink writing) I'm told a bit about the product, directions on how to use it are there, ingredients and cautions are given, the recycle symbol is displayed as is the size (150ml), contact details for Colgate-Palmolive are given and finally there is a black bar-code on there. A really nice, easy on the eyes and easy to handle feminine looking can. I really like it. It looks quality, well laid out and simple.

A Bit About The Product According To The Back Of The Can....

Experience the fresh, carefree feeling of a summer paradise every day with Palmolive Soft & Gentle - Eden. It's 24 hour body responsive formula is infused with lightly fragranced exotic oils. You'll stay extra-fresh and dry, even when thing are heating up.

And don't worry it's alcohol free and won't sting, even after shaving.

Directions For Use...

Shake well, hold can upright at 15cm from your underarm and spray. Don't use on sore or broken skin.

Me Using It....

Once again I have found a must buy and straightforward product with this one. It's easy to spray (even at an angle), easy to hold whilst doing so and sprays out a very cool mist of anti-perspirant that really doesn't go on white or powdery but simply the moisture sinks immediately into the skin meaning you can dress very quickly and with confidence and you feel softly moisturised. You don't need much as it sprays out fast and evenly so it works out economical as well.

Yes it can be used on freshly shaved armpits as well, it really is very mild indeed. The smell of this is Oriental, sophisticated, sweet and that of flowers rather than in your face orchids (I actually hate the smell of orchids lol). It's simply not harsh or over-powering in the smell stakes but delicate, fresh and as promised summery!

I love using this it's just so fresh and girly whilst remaining classy and the smell, I find stays apparent for a good few hours after I've applied it.

Does It Offer 24 Hour Protection Though?

Quite simply.... yes it does. The smell may not linger for 24 hours on the skin but the effects lasted me longer than 24 hours! It kept my armpits hydrated, fresh and feeling very clean indeed with no nasty whiffs or stains. I love everything about this and find it one of the most reliable deodorant's I have EVER used and a really pleasure to use as well.

Can be found in all good chemists and supermarkets and from me, is heartily recommended and gets a massive thumbs up!

Summary: A great luxury deodorant!
