Title: deodorants, good /bad,??
Post by: alfred on June 29, 2022, 09:49:07 AM
Of course the use of having a nice smelling deodorant is nice particularly if used in say the bathroom and even personal body sprays too if fragrants are used in a not too over powering way are  pleasant ,

how ever  could using too many personal body sprays   become possibly harmful to the skin if over sprayed ,most  people use body sprays  sensibly but others it seems are almost bathed in it,

Q; do you have any thoughts in the way body sprays are used , if so will you share your thought's with us,

I have always used Impulse Body Spray, there were many fragrances to choose from up till about a year ago. Now I can only get 4 and one of them "musk" I don't like. I'm hoping it's not going to be stopped as it's the only one I've found that keeps it's smell for most of the day.
I've tried the cheaper ones but the smell soon vanishes.

I love Impulse... some great scents.. I also use Brut (men) as a body spray.. It brings back good memories..  Some spend many pounds on perfume and they still have a body odour about them..    A good shower and scrub up with Wrights Coal Tar soap does it for me..

I think if I was to smell of anything it would be Chlorine. :embarrassed: I have a shower and wash my hair after my swim but I find the Chlorine is strong.

I use a mineral stick.  They do not contain aluminium and I do not have to inhale any spray.

My daughter even bought me one with a cork cover so how green am I?

My wife likes me to wear Brut occasionally, she says it reminds her of when we were "courting"....  :embarrassed:

I use a Mitchum deodorant spray, the yellow one it's a lovely smell.  Don't use body sprays, just a quick spray of perfume if I'm going out.
