Fa - Active Pearls - frischer Rosen-Duft (Fresh Rose fragrance) - Antiperspirant Deodorant



This is a nice, reliable antiperspirant.
The scent I would describe as soap-rose.

I don't know what the 'active pearls' refers to, it isn't lumpy or anything.

Price: 5/5 ($2.16 for 50mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Mum - Dry - Anti-Perspirant - Cool Pink



I picked out this antiperspirant because my mum used to use it and I wanted to travel back in my olfactory memories, kinda lame I know, but scent is a powerful memory trigger.



However my journey though time went wrong because the scent has since been changed.
It doesn't smell like it did, back in the day when it was in a glass container.



This is the old one I remember:



I could not find a single photo of this online! 

Bring back crystal pink!

The scent is pleasant though, powder and floral.
It's a medium strength scent but isn't overbearing.
'Cool pink' is a surprisingly good description of the scent, at least to my synesthesia having butt.



As an antiperspirant it works really well, no breakthrough sweat.

Rexona - Women - Classic Dry



This works well and prevents breakthrough sweating.

It didn't upset my skin.

The scent is a muted purple florals and lavender scent, which is quite pleasant.

Rexona - Clinical Protection - Antiperspirant Deodorant - Summer Strength



The formula works well, there is no breakthrough sweating.
The scent is ok, something about it reminds me of my Nana's bathroom (actually, I might keep the empty container and smell it occasionally, it really does bring back memories).
It is the ending notes that smell like her bathroom.

It is a 'high strength' antiperspirant, but basically any antiperspirant is if you apply it before bed when you are less likely to just sweat it off before it can work on your sweat glands.

The dispenser has big and little holes, though which the product is forced out. 
I wish it was just little holes, the big holes just get lint in them and end up a bit gross.

Some of the product ended up squished in the tube instead of where I could use it.
This displeases me.

It works as an antiperspirant, but it is not worth the price.

Price: 1/5 ($14.95 for 45g)

Cussons – Imperial Leather – Antiperspirant Deodorant – Enriched – Jojoba

I got this from the Reject Shop and I believe it to be for an international market.

It smells nice and works well, but also contains alcohol and can thus sting a little.

I can’t find any trace of it online.

Price: **Unknown
Scent: 3/5 (fresh)

Rexona - Clinical Protection - Antiperspirant Deodorant - Sheer Powder

You know how I feel about these types of antiperspirants, you can get a very similar effect from just putting it on at night and letting it soak into your skin. 

That aside, I hate the packaging of this! The holes of the grate are far too large for efficient product distribution. Chunks of the bar came off and fell down the inside of the container, never to be utilized.

I also left it aside for a week, to use a different antiperspirant, and it grew bacteria! Why does it support bacterial growth?!

Also, why do I want to smell like bland powder? Answer: I don't.

Price: 1/5 (RRP $14.73 for 48g)

Mitchum - Women Clinical - Oxygen Odor Control - Pure Fresh

I'll let you in on a little secret, if you want your antiperspirant to work at its best, put it on at night (after your shower, just before bed). It gives the active ingredients time to soak into the skin and deactivate the sweat glands. You don't need fancy 'clinical' protection antiperspirant.

That being said, I will now review this product like it was any other antiperspirant (which it is).

The many small holes which allow the product through are well dispersed over the top and allow an even spread of product. The packaging winds up easily and the design of the packet is sleek and visually pleasing. (feeling the metallic green-pale green and white, very tennis) The scent is fresh and clean (and non-offensive). 

As far as reducing sweat (and thus odour), it works well and I had minimal/no break through sweating.

Rexona Antiperspirant - Confidence Dry



This was ok, still doesn't last as long as the roller ball type, but it was usable.
It clams to be '48h active', but it really only lasts 24 hours if you don't do any physical activity/ get too warm.

The scent is what I would call 'soapy'... it literally smells like soap. To me 'confidence' would smell like alpha person pheromones and a lime/musk/sandalwood/parchment perfume (I don't know if said fragrance exists, but if it did, confident people would wear it).

Just use the roller ball stuff and put it on before you go to bed, so it has time to work and not just get sweated off.

Price: 2/5 ($7.92 at Coles)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 2.5/5

Rexona Antiperspirant Women Sexy
I love the scent of this deodorant, so pretty!

It claims to be 48 hours of protection, but I would give it 12 hours at most (and I don't sweat a great deal, so it's not like I'm pushing it too hard).

I don't really know what else to say, aside from this scent can be hard to find...

"Same scent, better protection" Solution:
Roll-on is always better!
