Dettol - What Does It Smell Like?
19 Answers
Im looking for some basic antiseptic liquid for skin - i have TCP but that has such a specific smell that lingers too much and even when i can't smell it anymore some other people do.
So im looking for one that has a less noticeable and antiseptic smell
i was thinking if the scent of dettol is not TOO strong and horrible that i maybe could disguise with perfume and it'll blend more. - (pine i've heard is a big part of it?)
so can you tell what it smells like to you? and the strength etc?
also anyone know of any other skin antiseptic liquids that have a more pleasing aroma?
i will be using a lot so need something like dettol that is not expensive and a firm favourite
thank you for any help :)

Hibiscrub is one of my favourite smells, it used to be quite drying though - not sure if they've changed the formula.

Not clear what it's for but would the liquid antiseptic such as you rub on your hands when visiting hospitals not do? You can buy that anywhere and has no smell at all. Personally Germolene ointment smells quite strong to me, agree Savlon not so much. I have some Savlon antiseptic dry powder spray in my first aid kit that has zero smell but is a bit yellow looking on the skin (unless mine's gone off, I've just tried it).
Savlon antiseptic liquid was discontinued quite a few years ago by the manufacturer. Closer examination of the link provided will show that the product is no longer available and you'll not find it any shops in the UK. Nowadays, it's been replaced by products containing benzalkonium chloride and most of the marketed benzalkonium chloride containing antiseptics are either odourless or have a faint smell. That'll probably fit the bill. BC containing antiseptics are not quite as potent as the cetrimide/chlorhexidine combination that was in Savlon liquid but they do work reasonably well.
At uni, we make our own version of Savlon out of the raw ingredients but then again, I'm old enough to remember when we used to use Chloramine-T and Acriflavine in the labs as antiseptics. At one time, there was a first aid section at the back of a famous organic chemistry textbook that advised pouring Chloramine-T solution over every burn, abrasion and wound. Lovely stuff!
