The smell is a matter of taste, the smell I like as opposed to Nivea Men Fresh Natural very well. On the skin, created at the first contact with the deodorant but the same light "oil-film" as a cream, of course, only very slightly.
And I really like not even in this deodorant. My previous "election" is, unfortunately, less environmentally friendly, but has a great smell and I -As finde- especially one feels immediately fresh and not sweating under the armpits. I can not say from this Deo unfortunately.
Those looking for just a deodorant and not "transpiration protection", is perhaps well served ...
