I wanted to test both deodorants well so this is a review of only one of them: the alverde deodorant in lime and sage. The other one will be put to the test later. I wanted to try these because I try to avoid aluminium in deodorants.
It's a glass bottle with a spray cap on top. It looks clean and fresh, fine with me!

Scent
Well when you spray this on, it smells very much like citronella! It reminds me a bit of mosquito repellent to be fair. So it's very citrus-y and fresh. I don't dislike the scent, but I don't particularly like it either
Test
I'm a bit in two minds about this deodorant. Upon application it sometimes causes a burning sensation. I assume that's because there's so much alcohol in there. But on the plus side: this deodorant is very effective at keeping underarms smelling fresh all day and night long!
Overall I like this deodorant, but I would make sure never to use it on irritated skin!
Sincerely,
R.
