    5 Stars Patchouli aroma under my pits 22/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Non carcinogenic, works well and smells lovely

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    Lush Aromaco Deodorant not as Ciao have called it AROMACA WHY DID YOU BUY THIS? I have spent years trying to find alternatives to the Carcinogenic deodorants with aluminium. I've tried the Lush hard dry solid deodorant bars and although they smell nice they are difficult to apply. They hurt if you rub them under your arms, they suggest scraping powder off them with your nails- well not great really - you just get the stuff stuck up your nails. Because Lush sell this wrapped only in a simple recyclable greaseproof paper there is no wasted packaging and so not only is it better for you in so ... more

    4 Stars How To Smell Like A Sweaty Hippie 27/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The fragrant, heady, musky scent of patchouli...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stinks to high heaven of sweaty hippies!

    When I was a student, I used to while away the hours in what we called ‘head shops’ – you know, the ones with ty-dye clothes and joss sticks. They always stank of patchouli – as did a couple of the boyfriends I had and some of the floors I slept on. While my life is thankfully decades away from all that carefree unpredictability, I still like the smell of patchouli, although admittedly it is an acquired taste. I remember an ex who had a little brown bottle of this scent, which he wore liberally. When I was missing him once, I seem to recall borrowing his jumper because ... more

    5 Stars I'm not Stinky Sarah with Aromaca 03/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages long lasting, easy to use,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a rather dull product, does not block sweat

    It might seem like I am always in Lush buying lots of different new products to try but in fact I have only been in four times since the Manchester store opened in September. The second time I was in the store I changed my Lush shopping habits completleny by not buying either a bath bomb, bubble bar slice or slice of soap. Instead I was brave enough to pluck up the courage and buy Aramaco which is the patchouli scented bar in Lush’s innovative range of solid deodorants I had wanted to try one of these for ages but thought that at £2.90 per 100 grams they were pretty expensive compared to the ... more

    4 Stars I like the aroma of this deodorant 29/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Smells lovely, no aluminium, effective, value for money, easily cut up

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Isn't the absolute best deo ever. Can be tricky to store

    I was intrigued by Lush's range of deodorants as they just seemed completely different to any others on the market. In addition, I was about to go on holiday and found the idea of a solid deodorant appealing as it would leave more space in the liquids bag at the airport! After looking around and smelling the various deodorants on offer I plumped for Aromaco (not Aromaca as spelt by Ciao!), tempted by the patchouli smell. I didn't know what patchouli smelled like until a few months ago but I recognised it straight away as 'the hippy smell'. It will probably be familiar to you even if you don't ... more

    4 Stars Sweet or Sweaty ? 13/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages : Easy to apply, subtle fragrence, can be used afer shaveing with no stinging

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Its expensive, but otherwise this is a top prduct

    I love Lush soap and reccently I have been exploreing the world of Lush and trying out non soap products, one such product is the Aromaco deodorant. I have a nice little 20g piece of Aromaco which I got in a Lush sample pack, to stop it from drying out I keep it in a little zip lock bag in my dressing table as it is a moist bar rather than most deodorants which are liquid in a bottle. Aromaco comes in blocks like the Lush soaps and is cut to size when purchased, it is an off white colour and has a bit of a yellow tint to it. This deodorant is quite similar to the stick deodorants which you can ... more

    5 Stars Aromatic all day long 06/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice smell, lasts a long time, good value, natural

    Disadvantages Disadvantages may irritate some peoples skin

    Having shopped in lush for a number of years now, I consider myself a true lushaholic. From top to toe I love to use lush products because they are natural, reduce packaging (thus helping the environment) and smell heavenly! Aromaco deodorant is no exception, and not only is it highly effective I also find it a beautiful smell as well! As many items in lush are, Aromaco is produced in large blocks, sent to the stores and then cut up into pieces. The staff are more than happy to cut off a piece for you (provided it is over 100g, as they cannot sell at any weight less for legal reasons I believe ... more

    2 Stars sweaty! 02/10/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product
    I bought this product a long while ago. I do like Lush's toiletries in general though, but I think that this item is a bit of a mistake. It's a wonderful idea, don't get me wrong. As is the case with most of their range, there is minimum packaging, and since it is a "stand alone" product, there is no space wasted in your bathroom etc. It uses totally natural ingredients to deodorise your body. It doesn't look all that great (it is a little block of brownish stuff), and the smell, well, I only wore it 2 or 3 times, but just couldn't get used to the "aroma". It is a sort of sour-spice smell ... more

    1 Star Plain yeukky 06/08/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages nice idea

    Disadvantages Disadvantages but it doesn't work

    I really wanted this to work. No nasty chemicals, no aluminium salts, no plastic packaging - just nice natural ingredients in a solid deodorant bar. Unfortunately it smells nasty. Like an unwashed hippy. And the smell doesn't go away as they day wears on, if anything, the minute you get warm it intensifies. The oil responsible is patchouli - which can, of course, smell perfectly elegant if it's married with other ingredients, but for some reason those usually canny folks at Lush haven't bothered to do that here. Quite disgusted I left the bar alone for a few weeks. When I returned it was a ... more

    2 Stars Not so Lush after all 24/08/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Very few indeed, neat idea I suppose

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Countless, very sticky and messy to use and store

    I love all or at least most of the yummy products Lush produces and especially as they are all so appealing on the eye, not to mention the nose. One whiff past the shop in Covent Garden and I've fallen. Anyway, that is my opinion on the majority of the products this company produces but the deodorant is not quite so pleasing. The fact that is comes with mininal packaging should be an advantage but in this case it is a distinct disadvantage and makes a mess where ever it is left and as for travelling well forget it. This product was never meant to travel the world. In terms of the smell I can ... more
