Review: Degree Ultra Clear Red Satin

I will happily admit that I'm a long-time Degree deodorant lover. I think I wore Degree Shower Clean for about five years straight in the 90s, and you've heard me rave about the Degree Fine Fragrance Collection several times on this blog. For me, Degree products are just really reliable, they never irritate my skin, and they always seem to smell amazingly fresh and wonderful to me.

So when Degree recently released a new fragrance, Degree Red Satin, I jumped at the chance to try it for review (and keep reading for your chance to get a $1 coupon so that you can try it too!).

First let's talk about this fragrance. If you are a "Shower Clean" lover like me, I think you will adore this one. To me, it's the epitome of fresh and clean, but in the background there's a slight floral note to it that keeps it from veering too far into the unisex catagory.

Funny story: Mr. Recessionista ran out of deodorant recently and, as men are known to do, forgot to purchase a new stick and needed something ASAP before he went to work. So in an early-morning daze, I handed him Degree Red Satin and just said, "use this" and went back to bed. Later that night, we were sitting on the couch and I kept getting whiffs of such a nice, fresh scent. I finally figured out that is was Degree Red Satin, and it wasn't coming from me! LOL! This product lasted Mr. R all day (and night) and even though he said it smelled a "bit too feminine" for him, he managed to pull it off just fine and no one gave him strange looks while he was at work. :)

So yes, I LOVE the fragrance, but that's the not the best part about Degree Red Satin. As the Degree website says, this deodorant is "Little Red Dress Approved" and I have to agree.

Even though it's a white stick, it goes on clear, and I have not experienced one white mark on any of my clothing since using this product. In fact, I tried swiping it on my hand to show you that it goes on clear, but I couldn't photograph it because, well, it was clear! And the finish is powdery, yet silky, which feels very nice on my skin as well. There's definitely no tugging or dragging when you apply this to your underarm area.

If you are someone who, like me, can't wear the clear gel-type anti-perspirants because they sting and/or irritate your skin, I think that Degree Red Satin might be just the ticket for you. It's dependable, it smells fantastic, and it contains skin conditioners for a soft and silky application.

So, are you a fellow Degree fan? What's your favorite scent from Degree? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
