I really wanted to like this product. Spray deodorants seem so fancy and superior to the humble roll-on. Yes, it worked and I will grant it that, however it has one unforgivable flaw – the overpowering fumes.
My word! I’ve used spray deodorant before in the past and had a similar issue with it, but not to this scale. The product comes out like a hose with a finger on the end of it – powerful and EVERYWHERE. My bathroom is very small and I apply after my shower so it was steamy which no doubt exacerbated the problem, but I genuinely could not breathe after using this. I definitely could never use this with my toddler or baby in the room.
I feel mean now. It really is a good product if you apply your deodorant in an open space or have lungs of steal. I adore the packaging. Aside from the silly pictures of t-shirts on the front which clutter up the label IMHO, the bottle is sleek, black, modern and feminine. It makes me think of a gorgeous stylish woman who tosses this in her gym bag. In fact, that is just where mine is going so I can use it away from the box that is my bathroom.
The smell is a clean, athletic scent. It’s quite nice but a tad masculine. Probably why this makes me think of a woman that works out. It evokes power, there is nothing dainty about this. It’s not at all offensive but I’m not sure how well it would blend if you were to use a perfume, especially a less ballsy perfume after.
Now for results. This is why I have scored this product highly despite the asphyxiating properties. I REALLY put this through it’s paces. It’s been near on or over 30 degrees here during my trial aaaand I’ve been doing the 30 day shred aaaaand I’m super unfit. Ladies don’t sweat they say but ooooooh did I sweat. Except under my armpits which remained bone dry. Impressive.
They also speak the truth when they say you can use after shaving. In the name of BR I shaved and gritted my teeth, preparing for the worst. Zero sting. Very impressive.
Overall although I personally would not buy again I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone else, especially if you’re athletic.
This was my favourite of the Rexona range. Often the other sprays left a white streak down my clothes, so it was exciting when the diamond invisible dry spray came out.
I shook the bottle and sprayed it on to my clean body and underarms, about 15cm away. It was great that my black clothes or any other clothes didn't show up with white marks. I also went hours without sweating, which was great.
I stopped using Rexona now, but if I really had to I think I will go back to using it. It's also affordable and often I see them on sale.
Tips: Spray it on after showering.
