Nivea Men Deep Espresso 72h (50ml) Description

Product: NIVEA MEN Deep Espresso Anti-Perspirant Roll-On, 50 ml.

Protection: Claims 72-hour antiperspirant protection.

Formula: Uses a “MAXXTECH” formula with black carbon / charcoal powder for antibacterial effect.

Residue: No visible black residue, despite the black-carbon ingredient.

Skin tolerance: Dermatologically tested for “all skin types.”

Alcohol: According to product info, it has “no ethyl alcohol” in some versions.

Sensory Profile

Scent / Fragrance: Masculine, sensual espresso fragrance.

Notes / Impressions:

According to Nivea, the scent “blends fresh pineapple and espresso ristretto with a touch of spices and dark chocolate, fused with precious lavender and magnetic woods.”

The “dark wood” character is often mentioned.

Feel on Skin: Since it’s a roll-on, the texture when applied is likely creamy / mildly wet, drying down to a comfortable, dry finish.

Mood / Imagery: Think of a warm, late-evening coffee shop — deep espresso, gentle wood smoke, a hint of sweetness from chocolate and pineapple, and a calm, masculine sophistication.

Wear & Suggestions

Longevity / Protection: Nivea claims 72 h protection for some markets.

However, there is some discrepancy: other regional sites (e.g., Nivea South Africa) list 48 h for the same 50ml roll-on.

Application:

Best to apply after showering, when your underarms are clean and dry.

Roll evenly across underarm skin.

Let it dry completely before dressing to avoid transfer or staining.

Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types (dermatologically tested).

Best Occasions: Because of its deep, rich scent, this is great for:

Evening wear

Workdays (especially if you want a more “grown-up” or mature fragrance)

Formal or semi-formal settings

Cooler weather might amplify the richness, but it’s versatile

Helpful Tips

Use Moderately: 2–3 swipes per underarm is usually sufficient. Over-application won’t necessarily give more protection but may take longer to dry.

Dry Time: Always wait a few seconds after application before putting on clothes — helps prevent the roll-on from rubbing off or staining.

Reapply If Needed: On hot, very active days, reapplication might help with freshness, though the 72 h claim suggests strong baseline protection.

Layering: If you use cologne, pair it with a fragrance that won’t clash with the espresso / dark-wood scent. Something woody, spicy, or slightly sweet (vanilla, amber) might work well.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; avoid leaving it in very hot environments (sunlight, car) so the formula stays stable.

Avoid Broken Skin: Don’t apply to freshly shaved or irritated skin — the formula has aluminum salts which might sting.

Patch Test: If you haven’t used a charcoal-based or “deep” formula roll-on before, try it on a small part of your skin to check tolerance.

Caveat / Notes

There is inconsistency in the “hours of protection” depending on region: some Nivea sites say 72h, others say 48h.

Because of this, don’t rely solely on “72 h” for extreme sweat situations — consider more frequent reapplication or combining with other sweat-control measures if needed.
