Eau de Lancaster Deodorant 125ml
Eau de Lancaster Deodorant 125ml does one job, and the reason to choose it over a supermarket deodorant is that it smells of the fragrance rather than of a deodorant.
What that means in practice is a citrus and herb opening on skin that has just been dressed. Bergamot is bitter and bright, mandarin orange is sweeter and rounder, and the two of them read as cleanliness more than as fruit. Lavender follows, herbal and calm, with basil giving a green, almost aniseed sharpness beside it and coriander adding a dusty, peppery quality so that none of it smells like laundry.
Underneath that, the softer part of the composition comes through on warm skin. Palisander rosewood is dry and faintly rosy, lily is cool and clean, jasmine is the richest thing in the arrangement, and peach gives a little fleshy sweetness. Oakmoss, amber and vanilla close it, damp and bitter, resinous and warm, and quietly sweet in that order, which is what stops a grooming product like this from smelling thin.
Treat it as what it is. The scent from a deodorant stays within arm's length and lasts a few hours before the freshness it provides becomes the point rather than the perfume, and it is at its most useful under the eau de toilette, where it fills in the body of the fragrance without adding more spray. The 125ml size is a straightforward daily can and it is a sensible way to try the scent before committing to a bottle.
The house was founded in Monaco in 1946 and belongs today to Coty, which lists it among its prestige names. Perfume is not where its reputation lies; suncare and skincare are, and its owner talks about the brand in terms of repairing and protecting skin, citing early work with retinol, with oxygen and with repairing enzymes in cosmetics. Mid century sun culture on the Riviera is the brand's founding setting.
