Dove Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick Extra Reviews Summary

Scent

Pros:

• "Smells like fresh laundry, doesn’t feel annoying or itchy after applying."
• "Both scents are nice and refreshing, but of the two I've tried I prefer this Clean Comfort version."
• "The scent is very nice and the protection is very very good."
• "The scent is a little bit musky, but also smells fresh and clean, so it's not overwhelming."
• "If you are looking for a very fresh clean scent in your deodorant look no further."
• "The smell of this deodorant is a more 'manly' clean like but doesn't smell cheap or 'macho' like teenage Axe or bad cologne, but rather fresh and clean."
• "It smells fresh and clean too."

Cons:

• "It's only a matter of 3 hours before my armpits smell extremely bad."
• "By the end of the work day my pits stunk."
• "It smells like a rotten cucumber."
• "This new formula is garbage. It seems to have no B.O. protection so I end up smelling terrible."
• "The scent isn’t overly strong."
• "Unfortunately this scent reads as late 80s men's cologne from the drugstore."
• "I don't care for the smell. It smells sweet like cotton candy, which is a little bizarre for a men's product."

Texture and Application

Pros:

• "I love that it goes on clear, doesn't feel sticky or wet, and leaves no marks on my clothes."
• "While some deodorants have overwhelming scents and/or a sticky sensation once applied, this Men’s Deodorant (3-pack) from Dove has a very light and refreshing scent plus no stickiness in the arm pits."
• "It does last a long time but the package won't last u a long time, the best thing is that with a session of time there's no color no residue."
• "As for the formula, it is very moisturizing. There are no white streaks or oil spots on my dark clothing and it washes off easily."
• "This glides on easily and feels silky smooth and moisturizing."
• "The Dove Men+Care Deodorant Stick For Men in Foresta Sunset scent went on smoothly. The scent was subtle, not overpowering."
• "It’s a white stick, goes on clean."

Cons:

• "Half way through it breaks and crumbles and is poorly designed."
• "Within half an hour of applying this product, it has already dried and falling to the ground in little pieces."
• "It does tend to flake a little bit, at least when you just start using it."
• "It leaves white chunks under your armpits, stains your shirts, and is extremely difficult to wash off without wasting globs of soap."
• "It's definitely tough on clothing, which goes for every antiperspirant I've tried (Degree, Right Guard, Gillette, Old Spice...), and it has an unusual chalky texture that flakes off my underarms."
• "When I took a shower it was impossible to get the sticky deodorant off."
• "Being applied, it feels like I’m putting on soft wax."

Packaging

Pros:

• "Also, with the exception of the white plastic at the bottom of the stick (which is easily removed), the rest of the packaging can be recycled."
• "I can definitely see the benefit because I'm confident that the cap wouldn't come off in a gym bag or backpack."
• "I also think Dove got it right in terms of the cap design."
