King Midas finds his love !!. Review on Nivea

Once upon a time there was King Midas (KM), who roamed the jungles in search of the love potion to attract the fairer gender of his species. He picked up the formulae prepared & presented to him. Some had the Brazilian Cacao, others had Sea Mist, some with Citron and a few had valuable herbs from the high mountains. He tried them all, but to little success. Later he was prompted by the minor species into parking his carriage in front of a strange new jungle format.

With measured steps he entered, his eyes searching hither-thither. His smell sensories awakened by a mystique of many fragrances. Gradually, he made it to the tree where he found many love potions laid to be picked. Some had attractive colors, some a strange vessel to hold them, others with bold inscriptions, some with naughty messages. There were some on the lower rungs, some at eye level and a few way, way above the rest perched on the top.

KM was attracted to a few, but what eventually caught his fancy was one kept up there, the elusive one. It had all the shades of Blue interspersed with some Grey, and he stretched to grab it.

As he lifted it, he felt a comfort feel in his palms as he curled his fingers around to gauge the grip - Fantastic!!

It had a smart, versatile cap, well rounded & gave a very "international" feel.

The spray button was in 2-tone, very chic and savvy. it was noticed when he removed the tester cap. the tester seemed quite full, so KM did not have to give it the shake-well-before-use jerks as is customary to draw out for best results.

The spray came out like a creamy smoke, I indexed it towards my inner left arm. It did not give me the shivers of cold 'alcoholic' touch, that normally deos do. I did not even raise my arm to my nose to get the smell, the cloudy effervescence easily made my nostrils experience a 'cool wave' kind of fragrance. And I love that.

Since KM was mesemerised to submission, for this could be his next love potion; began the introspection.

There was too much scribbled all over it. A lot of symbols which are seen on European brands were there too. Warning for young prices' and princesses' too. One said keep in cool place (below 25 C) away from sunlight. the top read Shake Well Before use. it also had a bar code and then its UK based parent company, the trademark rights , whole list of ingredients and much more.

But all said and done, King Midas did find his love potion. ha has since had major successes, for which you need to personally meet him and drench him in Real Wine so he spills the beans.

The After-the Shower Deo lasted 37 days, costed marginally higher that the galaxy of others(Rs99-Rs125 range) @ Rs 145/. It holds about 150 ml / 92 gms by volume.

The effect lasts longer for a lesser quantity sprayed. My normal Deos last me 30-32 days for a 5-6 hour feel good factor. this one keeps me fresher, happier and hunting for 8-10 hours.

The King (isnt customer the king and have a voice too) though, has some advice for the following:

(a) Brand marketing Executives - Fight tooth and nail to get shelf placement at eye level-Jo Dikhta hai, woh bikta hai-or volumes shall remain low. the average indian male is 5'7" and I picked this from about 7' high shelf. Many would not even have seen it.

(b) Departmental Store i/c - Give equal opportunities to all brands and let the King decide what he wanna wear/use/eat/drink or whatever.

(c) Manufacturing company - Get more such 'For Men' products and they will all surely do well if they compare with this one that I used.

....And the King in all his splendour, strutted out to mount his carriage, swelled with pride at the new acquisition - the Nivea Aqua Cool for Men Deodorant Spray.
