Advantages: Lovely smell, cheap, lasts on the skin ages

Disadvantages: Not an antiperspirant!

Getting through so many body-sprays I do occasionally try to buy cheaper alternatives from time to time (I've wrote loads of reviews on these such purchases lol). It wouldn't be so bad if I purchased say one decent body spray or week but me... I can easily get through 5 cans a week believe me I'm rather obsessive about smelling nice lol! I love Wilkinson's stores and I've tried quite a few of their body-spray offerings (usually with good results I must admit) and usually costing 49p a can (but do look out for special offers like buy one get one half price or three cans for a pound etc!).

I saw this the other day and realised I hadn't yet tried it out! I was determined to remedy that lol.

The Packaging....

75ml cylinder shaped aluminium black shiny can with a drawing of three dazzling pinkish circles on the front and it has a black plastic pull on/off lid to the top of it covering a white aerosol push button dispenser. On the front of the can in white and silver writing I'm told it is Wilko 'Spotlight' 'A fruity, floral body spray'. On the back of the can I'm told a bit about the product, given directions for use and cautions are listed, I'm given a cash-back promise for Wilkinson's if I'm not entirely satisfied with this product and contact details for them are given, size and the recycle symbol are displayed and finally there is a bar-code on there. Whilst this doesn't scream it's an expensive product it doesn't look cheap and nasty either!

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

An enticing fragrance, to give you lasting freshness. Spray freely all over body.

Directions For Use....

Shake well, hold can 15cm away from the underarm and spray.

My Experience Using It....

Well I use it as directed and onto a clean body! I'm a little confused by the directions for use of this product. This is a body-spray after all and I've owned many of them from Wilkinson's. It ISNT an antiperspirant so I'm not sure why I'm told to spray it under my arms at 15cm away! Other cans in this range do not say that so I think on this batch of body-sprays a mistake has certainly taken place lol!

However it sprays out fast and quite wet (but a clear water is what it looks like on the skin) and it dries into the skin in seconds leaving no apparent residue and no feeling on the skin at all and you can dress immediately really.

Smell wise it's quite strong but very classy. When I say strong though I mean in it's power to fragance as the smell is feminine, natural and airy and not that it's rancid or overbearing or anything. It's actually rather pretty and doesn't smell one bit cheap at all! Which of course compared to many leading brand body-sprays it really is cheap!

The smell of this is mainly floral. None distinct, the flower scent is light and sort of best described as pink in my mind. Then there is a fruity smell delicately sort of under that. A tiny bit zesty helping to ping the notes of the floral out somehow this is over-all a gently sweet and proper nice, grown up body spray! I love it! It's sensible, sophisticated and is still young and fun all at the same time! It's great and once sprayed the fragrance stays fragrancing the body gently all day long! It's a long laster and total value for money and you could do a lot worse than have a sniff at this next time your wandering around Wilkinson's ladies!

Summary: Lovely fragrance!
