Review on Dove Clinical Protection Cool Essentials πŸ•ŠοΈ Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.7 Fluid Ounces, Pack of 3 by Will Haglund

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Smells like a scam

I've worn Dove Cool Essentials my entire adult life and have always loved them. As a zookeeper with sensitive skin, I liked that it was a strong, lightly scented antiperspirant that was harmless at work and complemented whatever perfume I wore when I wanted to dress up. But when I opened my latest deodorant pack, I was met with an insulting olfactory onslaught. I don't understand how a deodorant that supposedly smells like cucumbers can turn into a coconut disaster. And it's not the pleasant smell of coconut cream cake β€” it's like rinsing your nose with a pot of neti infused with Sun Bum lotion. To make matters worse, there was no indication on the box that the flavor and formula had changed. I spent thirty minutes trying to figure out if I had spilled the Glade plug-in or if I had a brain tumor. The smell was so strong that I had to take a shower and wash my clothes to get rid of the smell. It seems that in a tumultuous 2020, deodorant can at least be counted on to last and be consistent, but even deodorant can disappoint. So if SARS-CoV-2 has robbed you of your sense of smell and you're dying to smell the scent of Roxy's surf shop, this deodorant is for you. Otherwise, it only smells of fraud and betrayal.

Pros
  • Deodorant/Antiperspirant Combo
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
