My social media feed is filled with Christmas and I’m not ready to think about any of that right now but the Dove Men+Care Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant Stick I used today sure is giving off mint hot chocolate vibes. As you know, Dove recently introduced a new Holiday Treats Collection that includes body washes, deodorants, hand soaps, and body scrubs in Apple Cider Caramel, Pecan Butter Crunch, and Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie scents! But Dove, also, slipped in a few goodies for the guys with a new gourmand launch of three Dove Men+ Care Deodorant Sticks Mint Chocolate Martini, Apple Cider & Bourbon, and Hot Toddy!
You may have already read my Dove Men+Care Apple Cider & Bourbon Deodorant Stick Review and if you did you realize I was a little disappointed the scent wasn’t that strong. It wasn’t something you could actually smell once you applied it even though it had a strong apple cider scent once you swiped it under your arms the smell pretty much disappeared. When I’m delighted to tell you that the Dove Men+Care Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant Stick is a whole other level of awesome. You need it.
Before I tell you how much I love this I gotta tell you that not everyone wants to walk around smelling like a cup of mint hot chocolate. I’m not one of those people. I love gourmand fragrances and I love smelling edible! And sure, Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant sounds absolutely bonkers but it doesn’t make me love it any less.
This is brilliant. It’s minty, it’s chocolate, it’s delicious! As you may know last year the Dove Holiday Treats Collection featured a Peppermint Bark fragrance and I thought it was one of the best scents they had offered in the collection. I wish they brought it back and I have hopes they might still do for the Holiday 2024 Season! This smells a lot like it (almost identical really). I have plenty of it left from last year so, I hauled out my scrub and body wash and used it this morning and finished up with a little of the Dove Men+Care Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant Stick. I can absolutely smell mint and chocolate in the air around me. This one is strong! Sadly, it is a deo stick and not an antiperspirant so if you’re a sweater this might not work for you. But I’m not really one who sweats (unless I’m working out) so this is fine for me to use daily! The scent bubble it creates is really quite lovely!
I’m sort of amazed that it didn’t sting or burn when I applied it. It does have mint but I didn’t experience any tingle, burn, or cooling when I applied it. It’s a solid gel so it doesn’t pill it up or leave staining on your shirts or bra.
Is it weird? Not to me! I thought it was delicious! As they say, there’s an audience for everything and the Dove Men+Care Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant Stick is totally in my wheel house. Highly recommend this one if you want to smell like a cozy night on the couch with the Christmas lights on and a Christmas movie on the TV and yummy snacks and a warm hot cup of cocoa in front of you!
Dove Men+Care Mint Chocolate Martini Deodorant Stick is available now for $6.97. I need a backup (or two..or three…)!
