It’s deodorant time again!I’m sure you all will appreciate(or have no choice, but to) my timing ’cause it’s peak summer & we all do need some help with the dreaded underarm sweat.’Mystic Moments’ is a part of Fa’s ’Glamorous’ range which includes ’Purple Passion’, ’Golden Star’, ’Blue Romance’, ’Pink Passion’ & ’Exotic Garden’.
The packaging is very cute & girly-with a dark purple backdrop and fuchsia and silver writing.There’s a picture of a tiny fairy in less clothing sitting around a fuchsia & lavender coloured Frangipani flower, leaves & stem set.She blows kisses that take the form of silver stars.The front information labels the product as a ’Seductive Fragrance’, being skin-friendly & giving ’24 h reliable protection’.Fa ’Mystic Moments’ claims to "enchant you every day with its long-lasting seductive fragrance that captivates your senses and releases you into a sensual, magical world.".
The fragrance is a highly musk-ified combination of plum & dark raspberries/cherries...........atleast that’s what it smells like to me.The scent is a litlle heady, so if you’re sensitive to heavy fragrances this might irritate you.As for the ’24 hour reliable protection’ claim, let’s be practical...............this isn’t a deo marketed by Estee Lauder or Donna Karan.It does freshen up your underarms, but for a maximum of two hours only, unless you’re indoors all day & are doing no housework except for sitting on the couch...........then the deodorant may last you uptil 6 hours or so.That’s why I layer perfume over all my deodorants, so that my underarms don’t sweat as much, but when the fragrance lingers away my perfume can make up for it.As far as controlling sweat goes, this does live up to its brand name & claims made on the canister.Unless you’re trapped in tense situations(like being stuck in an elevator, getting fired at work, etc.) you’ll probably remain sweat-free for around half the day.This 150 ml can cost approximately R.O. 2.480 i.e. Rs. 248.If you do use the product daily(who doesn’t?We all need deodorant) & share your deos with your spouse &/or children, the price can play up to become a disadvantage, as the spray can get over pretty soon & one needs to keep paying 300 bucks for something that finishes quickly.That being said, if you aren’t the sort who keeps spraying deodorant at the washroom every hour or live in a more forgiving climate, this product is perfect for you.
Final grade- A-;had to knock down the ’+’ due to the price.
