So I was sent both the roll on and the spray to try and to be honest the spray already had it's foot in the door because who doesn't like a product you just spray and walk away from?
The bottle is curved like a female (I can not believe I just wrote that but it's true!) and the black on white looks sleek. I did struggle to get the thing to work at first because of a user error... you have to push the button in first and for some reason I struggled to do this nearly as much as trying to find a towel with your eyes full of soap.... it was harder than it should have been but I take full credit for that one.
I personally didn't like the smell of the product but it is stronger than I would normally wear. It sort of demands attention when you wear it. Put it this way you know you are wearing it - this isn't a deodorant that does it thing quietly. So if you enjoy a stronger deodorant thing this puppy is for you!
The product itself seemed to stand up to the test under normal wear but sadly over the last week with heat and outdoor activities I found myself having to reapply and feeling ick.
It didn't sting after I shaved - bonus. This test was the one I was least looking forward to it felt l was bracing myself for a massive pain wave which never came! didn't notice any marks on my clothes but I did notice it didn't last for me - it has been super hot this week and I am running again so it was put through some pases! So two out of it's three claims and like meat loaf said two out of three ain't bad.
The price is reasonable and like I said if you are after a stronger deodorant then give this a try. Just be warned you will probably need to top up and don't spray too much!
Personally this isn't for me. The strong smell overwhelmed my poor nose and the thought of reapplying it made it emotional.
However my amazing sporty friend is now the proud owner of my deodorant and she is loving it. So I think it's just down to taste here!
I have a love-hate relationship with aerosol spray deodorants. I love that they’re easy to apply and dry instantly, but I hate that they often sting (if I’ve just shaved) and that they don’t tend to give lasting protection. This came with some pretty high claims, so I was excited to see if it lived up to them!
First off: packaging. I really like the shape of this – like most of the Rexona aerosols it’s a really comfy shape to hold, and it’s super sturdy. The pushy-down-thing at the top (I’m so good at descriptive words!) has a purple rubbery grip, and it works really easily. Like with the roll-on, I’m not super keen on the colour-scheme, but this appeals to me slightly more just because it has more white and purple. It’s really not important; it’s just a matter of personal taste.
The spray is very fine and misty, but it does come out quite powerfully, so be sure to hold it far enough away! It dries literally within seconds, which I love, as I hate waiting around to get dressed in the mornings (let’s face it, I’m always running late anyway).
Like the roll-on, this has an extremely fresh, slightly florally scent. I do find it a bit strong, especially first off, as I like to wear perfume and I find this clashes a bit noticeably in the beginning. It does mostly fade away after an hour or so.
Unfortunately for me, as the scent fades away, so does the protection. I don’t find this very effective for long periods of time, particularly if I’m outside or doing anything active. Unlike with the roll-on, I’ve found I can get a bit stinky (grooossss) after several hours. It is easy to reapply, so I could carry it around with me to use as needed, but it’s not good for long periods of time. In addition, I don’t think it’s a great antiperspirant – I’ve been able to test that out, especially in this hot weather, and I don’t find it does as good a job as its roll-on alternative.
On the plus side: it doesn’t sting at all, which is a major bonus, and I haven’t found it to leave any white marks on my clothing. So it definitely lives up to those claims, which is great!
Overall, I think this is a decent aerosol deodorant. I do prefer something with a bit more lasting power for day-to-day wear, as well as a slightly more subtle scent, but for quick, on the go protection, this does the job well.
Tips: -Spray from a good distance away - it's a powerful spray!
-Carry it around in your bag to use for reapplying, even if you use a different deodorant in the morning.
