⤖ Rose + Black Pepper Review ⬻

I have tried one of Schmidt’s deodorants, one of the more natural ones, before and remember it being a little coarse due to the baking soda in the formula. I loved the smell of it though! Anyway, I was happy to find that this new formula goes on smooth.

When smelling the deodorant initially, I could only smell the rose. When I applied it, however, it seems that the heat of my skin activated the black pepper smell (which I thought was very cool!), and that was a bit more dominant for a bit before the rose took over again (or maybe my nose was desensitized to the pepper smell but not the rose smell). I like that the deodorant’s scent lasted through the day and was happy that no sweat smell made it through!

It’s strange, roses are my favourite flower… but personally, I’m not a fan of wearing rose perfume on myself, and that’s the only reason I wouldn’t get this particular scent again in the future. That aside, overall, I’m quite satisfied!

⤖ Charcoal + Magnesium Review ⬻

This review will be a little different from my others, because I will be writing it based on feedback from my boyfriend who tries the deodorant. He said that he liked the smell of the product when opening it, and he also liked that it went on smooth.

He does a lot of manual labour, so he was happy to find that Schmidt’s Charcoal + Magnesium deodorant kept him smelling fresh while putting that strain on his body. No sweat smell. He did, however, mention that as he was working and his body was heating up, the smell changed into something like a citronella scent. This isn’t a bad thing of course, because we both like that smell, but it was just interesting to us that the smell would develop in that way. Maybe a chemical reaction between the deodorant’s formal and his sweat?

Overall, he definitely likes the Charcoal + Magnesium smell (the original scent and all of its evolutions), liked how smooth it went on, how long it lasted, and he says that he will definitely continue using it!
