Perfume, roll-on, deodorant spray: Which is best for you?
Who doesn't love smelling good? When it comes to deodorants and scents, various products are available in the market, including perfumes, eau de cologne, deo sprays, and roll-ons, among others. However, many of us don't know the differences between them or even the basics like how and when to use these products. So, here's everything you need to know about!
Roll-ons easy to carry, come in small bottles
If you apply deodorants to your underarms, you are making a mistake. Deodorants may cause skin rashes or reactions. Opt for a roll-on instead. Roll-on is the best for the underarms and neck region. Also, it has more water, so unlike deodorant sprays, it does not form white patches on your clothes. Roll-ons are also easy to carry as they come in small sizes.
Deodorant sprays can be applied anywhere, last longer
Deodorant sprays are similar to perfumes, but they contain antiperspirants and deodorant agents. This prevents your body from smelling from sweat. It can be applied anywhere, and its fragrance longevity is longer than that of a roll-on. The spray contains less water compared to a roll-on, so its essence also gets dried up quickly. It does not form layers in the underarms or joints.
Perfumes mainly applied on clothes, not skin
Perfumes are costly compared to roll-ons and sprays. A bottle of perfume usually contains a mix of around 15-20% of fragrance oil in alcohol (concentrated). Unlike deodorants, perfumes are mainly applied to clothes and not skin. Many use perfumes only for special occasions and not on a regular basis. It may also be applied to the wrists, back of the ear, and neck.
When and how to use them
Roll-ons and deodorant sprays can be used on a daily basis, but it is best to check for skin issues before using them. Perfumes should ideally be used for special occasions, and a small quantity of the same is typically sufficient. As for the packaging, perfumes come in designer bottles, and we get deodorants in tin bottles, while roll-ons come in small glass bottles.
