Natural Cream Deodorant Fraîcheur
The Fraîcheur cream deodorant is applied with a fingertip, in a very small amount, under the arms. Its label states a natural product, alcohol-free and without aluminium salts, on a fresh floral scent. Let us say it straight away: a deodorant works on odour, it does not reduce how much you sweat.
Fraîcheur cream deodorant: the fingertip cream, without aluminium
• Fraîcheur is a deodorant in cream form, taken from the jar with a fingertip: no stick, no spray, no roll-on.
• The label carries three statements: natural, alcohol-free, aluminium-free.
• Without aluminium salts, a product remains a deodorant: it works on odour, not on how much you sweat.
• The scent is floral and fresh, in the white-flower note that dresses the jar.
• A small amount is enough for both underarms, on clean, dry skin.

Deodorant or antiperspirant: not the same thing
The confusion is everywhere, so let us be clear. An antiperspirant contains aluminium salts and acts on how much sweat comes out. A deodorant does not touch that: it works on odour, and perspiration carries on as usual. Fraîcheur is a deodorant.
In practice: if you are looking for something that stops you sweating, this is not it, and no aluminium-free product will do that. If you are looking to replace an antiperspirant with a product free of aluminium salts, accepting that you will sweat as usual, that is exactly what this cream is about.
Texture, scent, wear: what to expect
The cream is supple and firm in the jar. Taken with a fingertip, it warms quickly and spreads in a thin layer. It is not invisible when applied: let it sink in for a minute before getting dressed, like any rich product.
The scent is floral and fresh, clear on application, then it settles down. Mind the misunderstanding the name invites: the freshness here is a matter of scent, not temperature. With no alcohol and no menthol, the cream does not give the cold hit of a spray. How long it lasts depends on your skin, the season and your activity, and is best judged over a few days of use.
How to apply it
On clean, dry skin
In the morning after the shower, once the skin is properly dry. On damp skin the cream spreads poorly and lasts less.
A very small amount
A small amount on the fingertip is enough for both underarms. More changes nothing and leaves a tacky film.
Let it sink in
Allow a minute before getting dressed, so the cream absorbs and does not mark the fabric.
Not straight after hair removal
Wait at least twenty-four hours after shaving or waxing: the skin is more sensitive then.
Why a cream rather than a stick
A cream in a jar is the simplest form an alcohol-free formula can take: no propellant, no stick to wind up, no ball to clean. You dose it with a fingertip, you can see what is left, and the jar empties down to the bottom. In exchange you wash your hands afterwards, and application asks for a minute of patience that a spray does not. It is a trade-off, not a superiority.
In the same range
If you prefer a fruity register, the Chérie cream deodorant is the same cream on a cherry note.
And to compare formats, our natural deodorant section brings together the shop's creams, solid sticks and roll-ons.
Precautions for use
• External use only, on the skin of the underarms. This product is not to be swallowed.
• Patch-test on the inner elbow 24 hours before first use, particularly if your skin reacts easily.
• Do not apply on damaged or irritated skin, or straight after shaving or waxing.
• Avoid contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Keep out of reach of children. Stop using it if redness, tingling or itching occurs.
• This product is a cosmetic, not a medicine. With persistent discomfort under the arms, speak to a healthcare professional.
Storage
Close the jar firmly after each use and keep it at room temperature, dry, away from light and heat. Like any cream in a jar, take it with clean, dry fingers or a small spatula so as not to spoil the product. In summer the cream softens: that is normal, and it firms up again when cool. Refer to the date and the period-after-opening printed on the packaging.
Fraîcheur cream deodorant: your questions
Does this deodorant stop you sweating?
No, and no deodorant free of aluminium salts does. A deodorant works on odour; it is the antiperspirant, with its aluminium salts, that acts on how much sweat comes out.
How do you apply a cream deodorant?
With a fingertip, on clean, dry skin. A small amount for both underarms, spread thinly, then a minute's pause before getting dressed.
What does Fraîcheur smell like?
A floral, fresh scent, in the white-flower note picked up on the jar. It is clear on application and then settles down.
Does the cream feel cold on the skin?
No. The name speaks of freshness of scent, not an icy effect: with no alcohol and no menthol there is no cooling sensation on application.
How is it different from the Chérie deodorant?
Same cream, different scent: floral and fresh on one side, fruity on the other. Format, texture and application are identical.
Can it be used after shaving?
Better to wait twenty-four hours. On freshly shaved or waxed skin, a deodorant can sting.
Does it mark clothes?
Not if you let the cream sink in for a minute before getting dressed and use only a small amount.
