Original Deodorant Spray 150ml
Crossmen Original Deodorant Spray 150ml is a deodorant first and a scented product second, and it is fairest to judge it on that basis.
The scent is short and bright: grapefruit, bergamot and pineapple, and nothing beyond them. Grapefruit gives it a bitter citrus bite, bergamot smooths that into something cleaner and more polished, and pineapple adds a sharp fruitiness that stays dry rather than syrupy. The three together smell like a good shower gel, which is to say simple, fresh and over fairly quickly. That is appropriate for the format. A deodorant is meant to leave you smelling of very little within the hour.
Three materials is all there is, so there is nothing to analyse past the first impression and nothing lost by that. Used as directed it goes on after a shower, onto clean dry skin, and a 150ml can will cover several weeks of daily use. It is a men's product, and the scent is pitched to be inoffensive rather than memorable, which for this format is the correct ambition.
It will not fight a fragrance sprayed on the pulse points afterwards, because the citrus fades long before anything worn on top of it does, although if you are layering deliberately it is still sensible to keep the two in a similar register. Mostly this is a daily grooming purchase, bought for what it does rather than for how it smells, and priced at this size to be replaced without much thought. Judged against other sprays on the same shelf it is a little brighter and a little less soapy than most, and the pineapple is the thing you will actually notice when the can is new. There is no perfume here pretending to be more than it is, which counts in its favour.
