Mitchum Sold Deodorant
Sure, we’ve had some 90-degree days this summer, but we all know that’s just pre-heating mode here in Texas! As we transition into a full-on broil mode, with 100-degree days and stifling humidity, we need to adapt accordingly — and a huge part of that is finding a top-notch deodorant that provides adequate odor and wetness protection in the most grueling conditions! Enter Mitchum, the legendary deodorant brand born in Tennessee in 1959. Mitchum recently launched its “Southern Strength” campaign, honoring its rich heritage while cementing its reputation as the performance-first choice for a generation that’s tired of overhyped and underperforming products.
Mitchum offers dermatologist-tested, high-performance formulas that deliver 48-hour protection, keeping you confident, dry, and fresh — whether you’re at the office, at the gym, doing lawn work, or lounging poolside.
You can find Mitchum solid deodorants at major retailers nationwide and online at Target.com
Dossier Originals Fragrances
Want to smell irresistible all summer long but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars to do so? Well, it’s time to get familiar with Dossier!
Dossier is the perfume house for the next generation, allowing consumers to experiment with scent and build their fragrance wardrobes — all without breaking the bank. All Dossier perfumes are crafted in Grasse, France, using high-quality, natural and non-toxic ingredients. The brand recently released three new genderless fragrances — all part of its Icons Collection.
The latest fragrance release, IT Factor, is a warm and sensual scent, with spicy top notes of ginger and cardamom that foray into a sexy and mysterious heart of violet, incense, and silky musk. The fragrance then finishes with base notes of brown sugar, sandalwood and vanilla. Not only is this genderless scent an intriguing and inviting perfume, but it’s the brand’s first-ever launch with influencers as the faces of the campaign. TikTok and Instagram creators Landon Barker, Yesly Dimate, Kennedy Eurich, and Golloria George are the featured faces of the campaign
Another remarkable new scent is Call Me Vanilla, an addictive, vanilla-forward scent intermingled with notes of peach and almond as well as floral notes of jasmine, orange flower, and iris. This is my absolute favorite!
And lastly, for those who love a fruity-floral scent, there’s Blooming for You, which transports you to a magical garden filled with flowers like violet, jasmine, and lily of the valley — all surrounded by luscious fruits like pear, bergamot, and blackcurrant.
Each Dossier Originals scent is $39 on Dossier.co
