I am not sure of the Indian ones as I have not tried those. I had bought this from Alfa in Mumbai which stocks all imported stuff.
I do not use this everyday but yes when I have to spend too much time out in hot humid climate. This one matches half the claim they make but not all. It would not keep you completely dry if you are a person who sweats a lot in humidity..I do ! But it surely keeps you smelling good and fresh. It looks transparent and watery and has a fresh aqua kind of fragrance.
Pros:
1. I liked the fact that it keeps you smelling fresh all day long.
2. Economically priced.
3. The ones manufactured in India are easily available but I am not sure if they are eqaully good.
4. 0% alcohol.
5. Easy to carry around.
6. Dries fast..you need not wait for it to dry.
Cons:
1. I am a bit skeptical about using roll ons and so I do not use it everyday.
2. Well the 48 hour claim is a little high and who is going to check that either ways !
3. The ones available in India Passion and Free Spirit are different from this one..I do not know how effective or good those are.
Overall I quite liked them..they did work for me.
