Summer has arrived, which means another reason to get my hands on a new deodorant :p
Brand spanking new on Sephora.ca, I made my purchase online and got it in 4 days!
A lil bit pricey at $21 CAD for 57g – I admit I love the scent way too much so, take my money!
I’m sure everyone is familiar with the scent by now… if you’re not, you’re definitely missing out ;)) it smells of coconut, vanilla and sandalwood, similar to physician’s formula butter bronzer but a tad bit stronger.
I adore the bum bum cream but wished it was a bit more moisturizing. The scent stays on overnight and I love the way it melts into my sheets.
The deodorant boasts the following:
- Prevents odor all day
- Soothes irritation from shaving
- Leaves underarms feeling softer, smoother, and more moisturized
- Has a fragrance that lasts all day
- Does not leave white residue or oil stains on clothing
- Is the best aluminum-free deodorant they’ve ever used

THOUGHTS:
Used it for a week now, everyday for about 8 hours. My thoughts are on the 8 hour time frame.
- Scent
Amazing scent, the same as the bum bum cream. I could smell it fading away after the 4 hour mark.
2. Application
Smooth roll on, leaves abit of a white cast initially but wears off after 10 minutes. I noticed a sticky feeling underarm for a good 15 minutes or so before it feels waxy.
I’ve read comments about it being an aluminum free deodorant, therefore being more organic and leaves a waxy feel.
Not sure about the comments/claims but this is what I experienced so far after a week of usage.
3. Longevity
Because it leaves a waxy feel, I can’t really tell if my armpits are sweating, or if it’s the remains of the deodorant. I know, tricky. It definitely is causing mixed feelings, ha!
I do think it lasts for a good 2-3 hours before reapplication.
Overall, do not recommend this if you’re looking for a heavy duty deodorant to wear to the gym. Would recommend for fun days, like to the beach (if you wanna smell good). The scent is very worth is, but deodorant itself does not perform its job.
Does not do a great job at keeping sweaty pits away, and I consider myself to have not-very-sweaty pits at all. To the sweatier people, beware!
Definitely wished it did a better job at keeping the sweats away considering that price tag, but oh well, keeping it for the scent 😉
