Davidoff Cool Water Deodorant

First things first... I'd like to state for the record that I do not have body odour. However for the sake of the general population, I use deodorant to ensure I smell nice all the time. The only times that I do not use deodorant is when I'm sleeping coz it's not necessary and when I exercise coz I don't want any  pores to be blocked and allow my body to detoxify.



I've been using Davidoff Cool Water Deodorant for more than 15 years now. In between I've also tried other smells like Polo Sport, Issey Miyake and Boss. Yes those are ALL men's deodorants. Not only do I use them because I like the fragrance, I am also unable to find any ladies deodorants that aren't antiperspirants. Ladies antiperspirants are also lighter and don't last as long.



There have been a lot of reports around about antiperspirants blocking the sweat ducts, therefore the body cannot purge the toxins and the toxins find their way to your lymph nodes and BOOM breast cancer. Now I don't know how true these reports are and I'm not really qualified to make any statements about that. For me, deodorant is it.



Davidoff Cool Water Deodorant smells fresh and for some strange reason does not smell quite the same as the Eau De Toilette. Smells a bit lighter and less sharp. I know the eau de toilette generally smells better on oilier people, somehow when it's mixed with their body oils it smells more woody and less sharp. 

It's been tried and put through the harshest tests - 15 hour work days, walking 10 hours in Malacca, hours of hardcore dancing (and back in the day, you could smoke in the clubs so there's all that smoke smell added into the mix), 12 hours of zoukout, flying more than 24 hours to get to the other side of the world... it's really been through almost everything, probably with the exception of farming. At the end of each test, not much remains intact, sometimes even my legs feel like they're about to crumble. But aha... the deodorant still smells good. In other words... no armpit smell! It's a total win if you ask me. I've never had to reapply through the day. NEVER.

One small problem is that it you can't find this in the stores, unless you go to the specialty stores that will order it in for you. One stick like this generally lasts about 9 to 12 months and costs only SGD $22.50 on Strawberrynet. If you're a frequent shopper on Strawberrynet, you get loyalty discounts on a progressive scale, once you're at your 20th order and up, you get a 10% discount. Orders above SGD$40 after discounts, which is easy and will also get Free Shipping (with certain exceptions when your order is on fragrances or home scent items). Your order normally gets to you within a week or maximum two weeks. Items are gift wrapped individually, I'm not sure of the reason for that and the box is filled with a lot of spongy stuff to ensure your purchase doesn't get damaged. I've been buying from them for years and it's not been damaged before. I highly recommend Davidoff Cool Water Deodorant and also Strawberrynet coz there's nothing worse than an online shopping spree gone wrong.
