Designer Deodorants
Question:
Has anyone experienced any? And how well do they work? And how long do they last? I will be wearing it for going out, and formal occasions. Would sweat be an issue if I wore it with a T-shirt in summer (not engaging in any active activities, just hanging out). THank you. Answer: There are many brands, and I can't speak for each of them, as there are surely cheaper and better ones. I'm using Tsar and Boucheron's deo sticks, and they are great. I used to use Bvlgari pour homme's and it was great too. But remember: they are deodorants, not anti-perspirants! If you are sweating a lot, which is not my case, they may not solve your problem. Mitchum is the best anti-perspirant deo I've tried, and I use the fragrance-free clear gel one. HTH! François Answer: Thx Francois, I was wary of purchasing one since I wasn't sure if they're just some ineffective deos made to smell like their frag counterparts for some quick buck for the designer. I don't have a sweating problem so I am good to go, to plunk down $10+ for each of these, *sigh*. Answer: the disadvantege of designerdeos is that U have to wear the same frag.... Better buying a usual, not to perfumed brand in the store IMO... I had several designerdeos and it s not worth the money ! Good luck ! Renz Answer: Go with unscented or something lightly scented and skip the designer deo Answer: where can I find unscented deos? And when you apply the unscented, you then just spray your frag on it? Answer: Any pharmacy store should carry them. If you have CVS or even super markets will have a whole section for stuff like that. I would try a pharmacy first. If they are unscented then you can spray whereever you want. There should be no interference. That is the best part of Unscented. I use Old Spice and think it works just fine. Deodorants don't really have any sillage or power to them so they are generally subdued. You wouldn't smell my Old Spice unless I had you in a headlock. Fragrances have sillage and while other people say that the interfere with one another, I dissagree. I've never had a problem. I smell a mix to myself now and then but no one else will be able to smell your deodorant over your fragrance when you walk by... Answer: you know envyus, I felt the same way, no matter what deodorant I wear, it never interferes with my cologne. So I kinda feel I wasted my money getting some deos of the same scents I carry...oh well they're summer frags any way so probably will only help with the frag when wearing t-shirts. Answer: Working in an office situation where several people are sensitive to scents, I've found designer deoderants to be a good solution. I personally can enjoy the scent when I apply it in the morning, and somewhat during the day. I currently have four to choose from (any more, and perhaps they'd start to dry out). Kenzo Pour Homme, Paul Smith London, DG Masculine, and Comme des Garcons Man 2 - the Man 2 is certainly the best - more cologne (reccommend it highly - although packaging can screw up a bit as far as the screw-on cap and repeated use). All the other fragrances are light enough, that I've never found a conflict with other colognes (when I get a chance to wear them), as long as they're in a somewhat similar note range. By the way, Molton Browns Black Pepper Shower Wash (great smelling) is quite good as well for scent sensitive office situations, since it wears fairly close to the skin. Answer: My job can involve a good deal of sweat now and then, so I stick to the heavy-duty deo/anti-perspirants. Right now I am enjoying Mitchum Sport gel. It works great, and I can't smell the fragrance unless I stick my nose down there. I would use unscented, but the scent in Mitchum is so light and inoffensive that I didn't bother. Also, I have switched to unscented aftershave. I know that I could buy the aftershaves made for specific frags, but I've decided that my face is one place that just doesn't need to smell that great all the time. I can also just use the same aftershave every day without worrying about what frag I want to wear later. I think this same idea could apply to deoderant. Edit: wow, I just noticed that I'm a super member now. Go, me! Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
