Hello Everyone,
Today my thoughts are on the Vilvah deo shot in the scent rose and vanilla. I have never tried any vilvah products, so one day when I was browsing through nykaa in search of vilvah, I came across deo shot and I was wondering what is that? After learning that it is a deo which is natural in formulation, I got very curious to try it out and hence bought it.

The brand uses the right mix of agricultural produce, carrier oils, butters and essential oils that nourish the skin by extracting the effective properties of the ingredients. The produce is derived in its purest form, without any harsh chemicals, and it is free of additives, synthetic oils or perfumes.

Product Description
The natural deodorant aims to keep you smelling fresh, but will not make you stop sweating however it will help balance perspiration. The deo shot is suitable for both men and women. Most of the deodorants available in the market these days are infused unknown or harsh chemicals and also use aluminum to restrict the natural process of sweating, basically to work as an antiperspirant. Vilvah natural deodorants are not designed to block sweat glands instead it aims to absorb the wetness and deodorize the odor causing bacteria. The product is made of 100% essential oils which fades off in 3 – 4 hours of application and remain odour free for 24 hours.
Packaging: The product comes in a small tin with the brand label on top. It is environmental friendly packaging. The deo looks like a solid butter sort of consistency or basically a balm. Pocket friendly to carry around and convenient to use at any point of time.

My Experience
To be honest I have never heard of a concept of using a deodorant in balm sort of way. So it was my first time seeing and using it. When I saw online I was excited and curious to try it out. Once I received the product, the size turned out to be small but considering you get only 20 grams I suppose that’s how it is. Now coming to my experience of using it, well the first time I took a sniff at it, I was mesmerized by the fragrance, I could smell the notes of rose but vanilla not so much. It smells divine and I keep smelling in between on my wrist as I really enjoy the scent. It is like a balm where you swipe your fingers or finger on to the product and you apply it on your wrists, armpits, behind your ears or wherever you want it. When you apply it first, the scent is good but after an hour the scent starts to fade and throughout the day you only gets hints of it. So that is a big con. But when I applied it on my under arms or armpits surprisingly I did not get the foul sweat scent that I normally do. Usually after a couple of hours of using a normal deodorant or a deodorant roller, my armpits start to sweat and not to mention you do get a foul scent, yes I know that is gross but that’s just the way it is for me(😌). However when I applied vilvah in that area it did not give any foul sort of scent but the deo still smelled nice despite it faded. Obviously the quantity is less but it should last you for two months at most. I just wished the scent lasted. So you might have to touch up when the scent fades. Now some people may not find it hygienic to touch using your fingers directly to the product but you can use different fingers, or a small spatula to scoop it out, so keep that in mind but I don’t mind using my fingers as only I am the one using it.
