Re: Which deo is better?
I use Men's perfume, kinda lasts more (the scent) than deo.
I love Cold by Benetton.
I tried Hot but that smells feminine.
I also like the classic Denim by Axe and Axe Dark Temptations.
A big no to those cinthol and Reebok deos atleast from my personal experience.
Axe click perfume was also really nice but not available in India.
Thats all about the el cheapo sub 600 bucks deos and perfumes that I have tried till now.

Re: Which deo is better?
I have tried mots deos, but none of them were good. The worst ones were from AXE.
Then i switched to perfumes. Though costly, they last longer as you dont need to spray large amounts, unlike DEOs where you have to literally take a deo bath.
I have seen some people taking a deo bath in the wash rooms.
I mean they spray it all over their bodies.
I personally use Nike fission. Costs me 500 bucks for a bottle.

Re: Which deo is better?
If you want cheap and i mean cheap deo but not anti-perspirant, use an alum block. Rs.15 for a finished block or go to a shop near a hindu temple and they will sell you an unfinished one or rock for Rs.7.
Remember its like deo but not anti-perspirant.
Sub 600 bucks is not el cheapo. I only use Fa deo's that too imported from the UAE that you can get from small shops, its cheaper than Nivea.Tenzin said:

Re: Which deo is better?
Let me try to impart some constructive advice.
1) Wash your clothes with a good fabric softner or a scented detergent. Smelly clothes contribute to BO. Marketing experts behind famous Deo Brands don't want you to know this.
2) Change your bathing soap to a scented one as well. Stage 1 in eliminating BO, something that marketing experts expect all of thir customers to know beforehand when fussing over a Deo.
3) Use a scented body talcum powder after having a bath. Stage 2; good talcum powder does a great job in controlling body sweat.
4) When on your way out lightly apply some perfume over your clothes(not skin directly). You can try an aftershave too; an ordinary aftershave is any day stronger than the most expensive perfume. This is the final stage.

Re: Which deo is better?
Most everything else is ten times more in cost and designed for ppl that don't live in the tropics. But oh its foriegn so it must be better.
Or only go out wearing clean clothes.sid_donnydarko said:
Lots of choice here with indian brands, ie Chandrika, mysore sandal wood etcsid_donnydarko said:
Am coming to the conclusion that in the tropics this is the only working choice you have as the powder acts as anti-perspirant, ie absorbs sweat. Otherwise deo sticks that leave a white residue are also the same but less effective.sid_donnydarko said:

Re: Which deo is better?
for me...jovan, police, nike, zuska...n wont mind experimenting with other brands...
and every deo works differently on everybodys body.
If you want that 24hrs fragrance you can try ladies deos which are strong & people wont recognize it as ladies product.

Re: Which deo is better?
This will take consumer agitations to change.
There was a famous case in the US where Campbells soup used marbles in one of their ads, got taken to court by their competition and ended up being banned from making any ads in the US for twenty years.
So you can see there is quite a difference in how things are over there compared to here.
Thats an altogether different debate. Standards in India are little bit looser than abroad. Here you can make your products into something else just with the right choice of words & visuals. Healthy 'looking' hair as opposed to healthy hair etc.pinga123 said:

Re: Which deo is better?
One way or another, OP needs to wash his clothes regularily
What's incredibly strange is that Deo manufacturers in the Indian subcontinent fail to realize that they should focus on producing a far more effective Deo, one that can tackle near-equator climatic conditions, rather than blow up money on marketing campaigns with b-grade celebrities. This way they can atleast proudly claim their products actually work!
Thanks
