Beyond her writing desk, Shweta enjoys exploring new destinations, experimenting in the kitchen with delightful recipes, and staying in tune with the latest beauty and wellness trends. I wore these deodorants to my office, to the crowded streets of flea markets, to shopping malls, and, of course, at times, I wore them at home while cooking just to find out if they could outlast the cooking smell as well.

Over the years, she has worked with reputed digital media houses like India Today, the Times of India and Skymet Weather, steadily building credibility through well-researched features, product reviews, and trend analyses.

I have used a Skinn by Titan perfume, so I always knew I could never go wrong with a deodorant by the same brand. And this deo actually kept its promise of lasting long enough. This deo has a refreshing fruity scent of Grapefruit, Green Pear, Ginger, and Blood Orange in the top notes and Jasmine Sambac, Orange Flower, Floral Nectar, and Waterlily in the middle notes. The base notes include Apricot Nectar, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli and White Musk. The best part is that this deodorant is dermatologically tested, so this was a plus point for me. There is something about Nike! Be it their shoes, hoodies, or deodorants, I have always been fond of this brand. And this Nike Original deodorant was no exception. The deodorant has a captivating yet refreshing feminine scent that makes you feel confident and keeps you going. The best part is that this deodorant is infused with natural extracts and skin-friendly ingredients that are safe and gentle, ensuring your skin stays soft and smooth.

I wore this deo to my office as its scent was refreshing without being overpowering, and it lasted my 9-5 shift in the AC room. I also tried the deo for an outdoor event during peak afternoon, and it did last for a good 4-5 hours, almost throughout the event.
