This candle has a strong, powdery, soapy scent.
It is pleasant enough though.

I got it so when it is done I can clean out the wax and use the glass in the bathroom.

Price: 5/5 ($4.56 for 30 hours and a sweet glass)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Pure Eco - Hair - Conditioning Shampoo


I had a bunch of these from hotel stays and used them on my recent journey.

It lathers well, cleans in one wash, has a soapy scent, and does what a shampoo should do.

If you find this in your hotel room, know that it is dependable.

Price: 5/5 (free, from hotels)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Masquerade! - The Face Shop - MasCream sheet


It was only very recently that I was able to buy anything from the Face Shop because I went to the Highpoint Shopping centre store. The Melbourne Central store is always very uninviting and hostile.
(There, I said it! I'm calling you out on your invasive and annoying staff! Deal with it!)
This mask had the most wonderful cream serum that was just divine on one of my four recent flights
The scent was fresh/soapy and the sheet mask cloth was very soft.

*Aeroplane air is recycled and very drying to the skin. I can either look a little silly wearing a mask mid flight or have haggard skin upon arrival. I choose the former.

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
