Agua de Colonia Concentrada Deodorant Roll-On Fresco 75ml
Set against the standard roll-on, Alvarez Gómez Agua de Colonia Concentrada Deodorant Roll-On Fresco 75ml swaps one material for another and comes out noticeably drier.
Lemon still opens it, bright and a little tart. The difference is thyme, which replaces the softer citrus that usually sits in this position and takes the scent somewhere more savoury and herbal, almost kitchen garden. Lavender follows and rounds the thyme off, clean and familiar, and eucalyptus brings the cool camphorous lift that does so much of the work in a product applied to warm skin. Geranium contributes a green, faintly rosy bite, and rosemary finishes it dry and aromatic.
Six materials in all, so this is a short and legible composition rather than a scent with a story to follow. In a deodorant that is the right choice. You want something that registers as clean for a few minutes, then recedes to almost nothing and does its actual job quietly for the rest of the day. The roll-on format is the point as much as the smell is. It goes on precisely, nothing drifts, and the 75ml bottle will see out months of daily use. Anyone who likes the herbal end of Spanish cologne, or who simply wants a deodorant that does not smell like a deodorant, will get on with it, and it is an easy thing to keep in a washbag.
Behind it sits a Madrid family firm whose history starts in 1899 with three young men from Leon, a spell learning the aroma trade and then a shop of their own on Calle Sevilla. Everything in the catalogue descends from the concentrated cologne first made by hand in the basement there in 1912, and the family's fourth generation is in charge.
