Feel Fresh and Nourished with Nivea Body Deodorizer freshpetal & care Range | Nykaa Haul Review7/29/2020 This review is in continuation with the Nykaa Hot Pink Sale haul review on my YouTube channel. In case you have not seen that, you can click the YouTube icon on the cover page of my blog to view that or click here. You can also scroll below to see the video. I have purchased a couple of products in this Nykaa Hot Pink Sale 2020, and one of those products was the freshpetal & care variant from Nivea’s Body Deodorizer range. After using this a couple of times, I am here with my detailed review on this product. So, let’s delve right in. Packaging Coming in the Nivea’s standard deodorant packaging, this has the image of jasmine flowers printed on the body of the bottle. This is to indicate that it belongs to the freshpetal & care range. The bottle is housed in a rectangular plastic tray which is further housed in an outer slide on packaging. Overall, I am quite impressed with the packaging as I have not seen a deodorant being packaged like this by any brand. Talking about the bottle, it is a sleek curved bottle with the same print that of the outer packaging. You can see the image above to get a clear idea. It has a sturdy translucent white cap, which keeps the fragrance tightly shut. The sprayer is different here than other deodorants as this is a bit more concentrated and gas free compared to other usual deodorants. Nothing bad about packaging at all, rather I will say a lot of thought has been invested in the packaging. Scent The fragrance is immensely fresh and floral. Due to the hints of jasmine petals in this deodorant, it smells great. I have never been a fan of Nivea deodorants, as I find their fragrances supremely overpowering. Probably that is why they last well on skin and works great in controlling body odour. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this one is not that overpowering, yet it fights body odour just like the other variants do. So, this is well suited for sensitive noses as well. Being gas free, you get a deodorant that you last for months, but it doesn’t irritate or burn your skin at all. This deodorant has Provitamin B5, which keeps your skin nourished and hydrated. So, that’s another amazing aspect of this deodorant. Longevity and Silage It claims to last on skin for 24 hours and I can vouch for the fact it surely does cover a good 15 or 16 hours, since rest of the hours are spent on sleeping; cannot really say anything about that. Since this is a deodorant, the silage will not be a factor at all. After all, it is supposed to keep you fresh and odour free throughout the day and not project like a perfume. So, I have nothing to say on this factor. Quantity and Price Point For a good 120ml bottle, the marked price is Rs. 250. But, in the Hot Pink Sale from Nykaa, I got it at a good discount of Rs. 163. You can also check out Amazon, Flipkart and Purplle for this deodorant as sales are usually running on these websites round the year. You can save some money when you make your purchase during the sale time. Final Thoughts There is only pros to this deodorant. I have experienced no cons to talk about. It is a great deodorant, which does its job perfectly and doesn’t burn a hole in the pocket as well. So, I will highly recommend this to everyone. Have you tried the range of perfumes from the brand Enchanteur? They have been in the market for quite some time and they have been dishing out quite good fragrances. Initially they started with only perfumes, but of late they have ventured into deodorant sprays and roll-ons as well. I happen to stumble upon two of their deodorant sprays and today I will be talking about one of them. This variant is called Enticing and is surely something that can supremely alluring. Let’s find out why.
Packaging Basic deodorant packaging in red and white combination. It has images of beautiful, full-grown and lush red roses which kind of gives a hint as to the type of fragrance you can expect from this perfume. It comes with a translucent white cap that is decent. I will not say that it is sturdy but then again there is not much leakage expected out of a deodorant in the first place. So, simple and nice packaging; nothing to complain. Scent Four notes and you get a beautiful rosy scent. From the description of the packaging if you have not been able to understand the primary note in this deodorant, then let me spell it out for you. It is primarily rose, blended wonderfully with magnolia, freesia and bergamot. The fruity, citrusy and aromatic fragrance of this deodorant spray will surely lure in everybody around you. Now, a word of caution for those people who don’t like rose in their fragrances. You need to note that rose happens to be the primary note in this one and all fragrances from Enchanteur. So, if you don’t like the scent of rose, I will suggest you to steer clear of this and all fragrances from this brand. On the other hand, if you do love it, you can experience a beautiful world of rose and other lovely notes blended into each of its fragrances. Longevity and Silage Both good in one word. The deodorant spray claims 24hrs protection from odor and I can vouch for that; it sure does for at least 16hrs if not more. The other 8hrs I was sleeping so cannot say. But yes, the scent lingers on your skin till the time you take a shower. I have tested this deodorant on my skin. It is mild and doesn’t create any irritation for the sensitive skin as well. Also, people around you will also notice this fragrance on you. So, definitely good on that part as well. Quantity and Price Point You get a 150 ml for a price point of Rs. 190. This is quite a steal on its own but if you try buying it online from either Nykaa, Amazon, Flipkart or enchanteur.in, you may end of saving some money on this. I have not seen much of an offline presence for this brand, but the online portals we have for shopping surely has a great presence for this brand. So, you can try the deodorant sprays, which are affordable. If you like the sprays, you can then invest in the perfumes which are the intensified versions of the same fragrances. Final Thoughts Must buy for school and college going girls. However, that doesn’t mean that women of other age group cannot try this scent. This is no way juvenile. Everyone can wear it but since it is easy on the pocket, it is something even people low on budget can afford as well. Overall, definitely a fragrance that deserves a try. We all know when it comes to perfumes, it is French that we look forward to. It is an automatic preference that dominates the fragrance community all over the world. However, there is another area in the globe which is equally famous for good perfumes and specially their perfume oils or attars. I am talking about the Middle Eastern countries, such as UAE. From here only, brands such as Armaf and Dorall Collection stem from and many more am sure. In India, we have access to some of the brands from UAE and we get to experiment only with their variants. Today, I am going to talk about the deodorant version of High Street for women from the house of Armaf.
Before I delve deep into the review of this fragrance, I want to point out one thing; a pattern. I have noted that Armaf brings forth fragrances of the same notes in deodorant, body mist and EDT/EDP. This is kind of great as the same fragrance in different concentrations can be enjoyed by various people without pulling too much on the pocket strings. So, if you are a school or college going person, you can try their deodorants. If you want something a bit stronger, yet doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket, then you can try their body mists. If you want the best experience of the fragrance, then you can try the EDT or EDP variants, whichever is available. Basically, there is something available for everyone. So, today we are looking at the most affordable variant of these options – the deodorant. Packaging This comes in a beautiful white bottle that has a white and gold cap on top. The top is very sturdy and clicks when you shut the bottle, which kind of indicates that there won’t be any spillage of the fragrance. It’s an opaque bottle so you cannot see how much you have used up in the fragrance, which is kind of a bummer. However, on the surface of the bottle there is an impression of a classy street being depicted in a golden or olive colour; which is kind of nice. Overall, the packaging is quite good. Scent From the first spritz, it is a mellow, beautiful and classy fragrance. With raspberry and citrus opening as the top notes, the fragrance starts as a fruity scent. Then it moves on to the heart notes of magnolia and honeysuckle. It is here that it gains the white floral quality of the fragrance and finally when the base notes surface you get a waft of amber, cashmere woods and musk. All of these together blend into the most beautiful floral, woody and musky fragrance which is also mild. This is an inoffensive perfume that most people will love wearing or be around people who wears this one. Longevity and Silage The variant I have is a deodorant and hence the longevity is not great. On my skin and clothes, this one lasts not more than 2hrs. After this, reapplication is a must, which is not an issue for me as I like to travel with my fragrance. If carrying your fragrance is an issue for you, then you may try the EDP variant of the same fragrance, which being and EDP will last longer. Coming to the silage, when it is there on your skin, its projects decently, but again not for long. Since the longevity is not long enough, it similarly affects the silage as well. Quantity and Price Point The deodorant variant of High Street for women comes in a whopping 200ml, so it is good from the quantity perspective. However, given the fact that it doesn’t last long, you may end up using this soon as well. This bottle is available at Rs. 299, but online you will get discounts and great deals on this deodorant. So, you can save some money as well if you check Amazon, Flipkart, Purplle or Nykaa. Final Thoughts This one is a great everyday scent for the classy girl, who likes to attend events and functions. This can be a nice office going scent as well. Just keep in mind, you need to carry it with you and you will be sorted throughout the day. I can recommend this deodorant for school, college and office going girls as well. After all, it is said to be an affordable alternative or dupe of the Happy Spirit perfume by Chopard. So, no harm in trying this, I guess. Have you seen few people who walk by and make every heads turn? They have an inherent effect on others who feel distracted by the scent these exquisite people are wearing; though in the most inoffensive way possible. Now you can get it for yourself as well with Distraction Pour Femme Parfum Deodorant from the house of Ajmal. Being parfum deodorant, this sprays like a deodorant but lasts kind of like a perfume. The juice inside this bottle is stronger in comparison to your everyday deodorant.
Packaging Let’s find out about the packaging first before we dive into the scent. It comes in a regular deodorant bottle which is covered in purple color; the color of royalty. It has a simple translucent purple cap as well, which is quite sturdy. This has a good spray which distributes the liquid quite evenly on your skin. Scent Coming to the actual scent, this is considered to be a floral, woody and fresh fragrance. However, I can smell powdery notes in this as well. The opening has a burst of delicate florals, citrus and fresh notes which can immediately uplift your senses. This is followed by feminine and fresh notes, which give this scent its sensuality. Finally the base notes include woody and musky notes that emanates warmth and self-confidence in the person wearing it. Longevity and Silage Talking about longevity of a deodorant, one can expect it to last on the skin for about maximum of 2-3 hours post which re-application is required. However, since this is a parfum deodorant, it has slightly better power than your regular deodorant. So, on my skin it lasts about more than 4-5 hours. Of course, this will vary based on the body chemistry and climatic condition of the wearer. For now, it works quite marvelous for a deodorant. It has a decent silage as well. It leaves a powdery and woody trail that people around you will pick up. Moreover, if you spray this on your clothes, you might be able to smell it next day as well. Price Point This one is priced at decent Rs. 225 for a 150 ml bottle. Which I find is quite a good price in itself for the quantity and the quality of the product. However, if you buy online from Amazon or Flipkart, you may be able to bag some additional discount on this. Ajmal is now-a-days easily available on all departmental stores. They either have a kiosk or a separate segment dedicated to them inside stores, where you can try a bunch of products from them. So, after the lockdown period is over, you can try some of their fragrances and indulge in the middle-eastern scents they offer. Final Thoughts Overall, quite a nice fragrance especially at the price point. However, it is definitely something that is for the matured woman, who is confident, ambitious and knows what she want from life. Although every scent can be worn by anyone who wants to and can pull it off. However, according to me it is not a deodorant that a teenager is likely to pick up. So, if you are a teenager who can rock matured fragrances, give this one a try. Am sure, you will find this one a keeper. For women of other age group, feel free to give this one a try. Trust me it will not be a regret purchase for you. |
