One of Nivea's let downs in my opinion. Yes it smells great and it's contains no aluminum, which are fanatic qualities but it also needs to have staying powder and provide protection against under arm odor. The one I have is a solid and claims to be 48 hours, I get about 3 hours or so until I feel I need to reapply and if I don't, there is no longer a lotus scent under my arms if you know what I mean. Perhaps I have a dud, courious to see other reviews
