Review (5/5): Unique product, tastes good, and it works!
I know this candy is expensive, but it does what it says it will, which is a big deal for me. This candy is actually sort of a life-changing product for me, and I'm so excited it's available in the US now.
I sweat easily and profusely. It's an embarrassing problem, but this candy makes it much less so. I shower and use underarm deodorant, obviously, which helps the situation there, but the rest of me sweats too... just a general moistness of the skin all over, which often has a somewhat sour smell. Yuck. I'm always the first one in any group to start to sweat if it's warm or we're doing something vigorous. Usually this leaves me feeling really self-conscious and I will stand apart, etc. I've even avoided certain activities with friends during the summer because I knew this would happen. For this candy to help me, I just eat a few pieces an hour or two in advance! Then, when I start to get warm my skin will give off a subtle lovely smell instead of the usual sour smell. I can't tell you how excited I am about this! Also, a side bonus, it has a nice effect on the breath that lasts longer for me than any breath mint I've ever used.
Maybe it's just the way it reacts with my own body chemistry, but I don't think it smells particularly like roses, or even flowery... it's hard to explain, it's just a subtle clean & fresh smell that comes through my skin. You know how some people just smell good, not like product, but just like a nice skin smell? That's what this does for me. A friend of mine ate some and I thought she smelled more flowery, more reminiscent of roses, though not quite. I'd expect it's going to smell a little different on everyone.
Oh, and since it's a candy, I should probably mention: It's delicious! The very first taste when you pop it in your mouth is a little "rosey", meh, but that is almost immediately replaced by a very nice tangy tangerine flavor. I have to keep myself from eating them all up so I'll have them when I need them. :) I buy the regular sugar-sweetened kind, since I don't use artificial sweeteners, so I can't comment on the taste of the sugar-free ones.
