The Avon catalogue describes the scent as ‘fresh and feminine’ which is a fair assessment. It apparently smells of green gardenia, freesia and honey. I can’t say I recognised any of those while sniffing, but I’ll take their word for it.

No one wants to stink. Well, I hope not anyway. Even after I’ve had a shower, I don’t feel ready to go out unless I’ve put deodorant on too. I usually carry some in my bag as well, in case I feel smelly or sweaty at all over the day.
Over the years, I have tried various brands including Lush, Original Source and most recently Dove. But one of my favourites is the Avon On Duty range. I own the sheer stick anti-perspirant deodorant in floral, which has a pink cap and pink logo to match.
I have found this product to work really well and as I love the smell too, I have bought it twice now, instead of just trying it once and changing to something else, as I often do.
The sheer stick version is in one of those rectangular shaped containers with a rounded top which slides off, leaving you with the deodorant stick needing to be pushed upwards by turning a white dial. This means you can turn it so the stick is below the level of the top when not in use, which means you’re less likely to damage it.
I like the packaging as it’s simple but nice enough and I love the pink colour, it’s very pretty. Admittedly, this isn’t one you’d buy your brother/husband/father for Christmas because it’s far too girlie. But what do you expect for a variety called ‘floral’? I think it smells lovely though. It’s quite a subtle fragrance, pink and flowery but certainly not an overpowering one.

The stick itself is white and quite hard, but it does soften if you press it. This means that it is gentle on your underarms and doesn’t scratch, but it is hard enough not to crumble into little pieces when you use it.
It is also one of the few deodorants that passes the notorious shaving test! I have used this just minutes after shaving my armpits and it doesn’t hurt or sting at all, which is a rare bonus!
Now for those of you thinking this sounds nice, but you don’t like the sheer stick variety, fear not! Avon also do these On Duty deodorants in three other formats – an aerosol spray can (£2.30 for 150ml), a small roller-ball version (£1.50 for 50ml) and a large roller-ball (£2 for 75ml) as well as the sheer stick which sells for £2.50 for 50g. These are regularly on special offer in the brochure though, so you can expect them to be cheaper. I have always paid £1.50 for mine.
So some of you might be convinced, but what if you hate floral smells? Or if you’re a hunky male who wouldn’t be seen dead with anything in pink? Well, there’s a solution to this too.
Avon produces its On Duty range in five scents so besides the girlie flowery one, there are also these available – Active (green top and logo, described as ‘sporty’ and suitable for both genders), Musk (orange colour, described as ‘sensual’), Original (dark blue design, ‘fresh, confident fragrance’) and Unscented (dark blue) so there should be something there for everyone.
If you haven’t got a local Avon representative, don’t worry, you can order online at their website. Overall, I would definitely recommend this. I am confident this will last all day and give me the protection I need, so I don’t stink. Next time you see me, get me to waggle my arms in the air and you can check I don’t smell ;-)
(For those who didn’t get the title – my hero, Paul Darrow played Avon in the TV series Blake’s 7. See, it’s quite clever really – when you get it. Oh well. Never mind.)
Advantages: Good value, really works, dry, keeps smells away Disadvantages: Do not use aerosol can for a fix
...to be found in the Avon Catalogues in the cosmetics section. We bought it for £1.12, it was on special offer and is usually £2.30. The anti perspirant that we bought is in the form of an aerosol spray can of 150ml. This is, however, available as roll on deodorants also.
Now as many of you will know I love my Avon products and look forward to my Avon magazine arriving via my Avon lady at Church. Being a shopper at Avon I’m always buying something ... ...couldn’t. When I saw ON DUTY I felt that I had to try it. My husband and I were nearly out of deodorant and needed something that the both of us could use so I opted for ON DUTY 24 original as I thought the smell might be neutral. Well I was right and the smell was both suited for my husband and I to use. Because Original On Duty is a neutral smell it doesn’t clash with perfume, soaps or aftershave. It is just a nice smell that has a smell a little ...

I’ve sold Avon for over 8 years but still I usually run out of deodorant. My husband always complains when we run out although that’s another story. Recently I’ve tried other brands of deodorant like Mum, Sure, Dove and Imperial Leather (mentioning no names). The fragrances of these are OK but they really don’t do the job properly. I work out at least five times a week and build up a good sweat. In fact my ... ...via the website www.avonshop.co.uk.

Advantages: See Opinion Disadvantages: See Opinion
Avon are one of my favourite suppliers of toiletries. I spend about £10 per month with them. One of my favourite products, apart from the tea tree shampoo, is the On Duty 24 range.
The On Duty 24 range comprises basically of roll on and spray deodorants. At present, they are available in four fragrances which include...
>Active
>Musk
>Original
>Unscented
There is also a new one soon to be introduced called Floral! Anyway, these deodorants come ... ...may sound expensive but the Avon very often have offers, which reduce these prices by up to 50%.
I use the roll-on Unscented. To me, this roll on is perfect. It dries within seconds of application and keeps your skin moist so your "pits" do not rub together and smell! The other three fragrances tend to have some form of fragrance added to them, thus making the skin a slight itchy when first applied.
You will notice the different coloured tops when ...

...sweatiest of men!
The Avon book says that it does not stain your clothes. It dries quickly and is not sticky. Often other companies give best case scenarios, but this more than lives up to its name. I have been using it for several years and on the odd occasion that it run out before I can get anymore; I reluctantly revert to a shop brought brand. (Help!) I regret not having a spare one in the cupboard and vow never to do it again!
Now for the ... ...about the simple grey and blue packaging.
So for that fresh feeling that lasts all day, give Avon’s On Duty 24 Hour Fragrance Free Roll On, a try. If you do not agree with me, Avon has a no quibble refund policy, so really what have you to loose? ...

Advantages: Refreshing deodrant that works for 24 hours! Disadvantages: White smudges.
As some know, I have just come out of hospital following some back surgery. I needed some deodorant so I sent Shane down the shops to get me some, before my admission, as I had run out of Avon?s On Duty24Hours. (Shock horror!) He returned with ?Original Orange Source? Anti-Perspirant Deodorant. I had never tried this product before being an Avon girl at heart, but instantly loved the aroma. It made me feel confident whilst in the hot hospital environment. There is nothing worse than stale body odour. Trust me, I was a nurse!
**Qualities **
My initial reactions were that of being pleasantly surprised by with ?Original Orange Source? Anti-Perspirant Deodorant.
1) The fragrance is refreshing having a pleasant citrus aroma.
2) The spray was quick drying after application.
3) It also provides the user with twenty-four hour protection ...
