Already after one use of each I like the mens Rexona better. It's weird.
Technically the Pure one is a much 'lighter' type of scent but it felt overpowering as it was really hard not to smell it on myself in a distracting way. (This happens sometimes. A scent will seem light and inoffensive but will have a far reach, like fumes, or just be nauseating and headache inducing for no reason.)
The mens one is a heavier stronger scent but it doesn't project out like that, also it's antibacterial and not a half arsed 'anti white mark' formula. I could be biased but it does seems to be a bit more effective.
Still not loving the overly liquid formula/excess amount that comes out. That makes it hard to cover the area evenly without way overdoing it. I'm trying to apply one swipe and spread it out by moving my arms but it is an annoyance. I may get rid of the pure, try and use up this one, and then see how Aldi offerings are for a similar price.
Other reviews: I prefer drier rollons like Mum and find they're not strongly smelling but don't like floral scents and find they're better against wetness than pong. Also issues with really stubborn aluminium residue.
The Nivea Silver dries really fast and kills bacteria because alcohol but it doesn't have much aluminium and so it doesn't last long at all. It doesn't live up to the claim of 48hr.
I can't believe the cost of some deodorants. Saw a 50 ml for 8 dollars in Woolworths yesterday.
I know. It's a basic hygiene item, not a luxury
Have you tried any of the Mitchum ones? I use the men’s one, because it’s unscented
I used to use that one but they changed it so it wasn't as good. I might give it another go if desperate
I’ve been using Mitchum for quite a long time. The powder fresh ultra super dooper non-gel one. Works perfectly for me and the smell isn’t overpowering (I’m very sensitive to smells so am happy with this one).
Ah I don't like the powder scent (I had to scrub a similar one off) but thanks anyway
