Our Full Review

Wide Eyed is Fussy’s wake-up call - a bold, zingy citrus blend designed to energise your morning and keep you fresh throughout the day.

The Scent Experience

Mandarin and grapefruit provide the citrus punch - bright, sharp, and immediately refreshing. But it’s the black pepper that makes Wide Eyed unique, adding a warm, spicy undertone that gives the scent unexpected depth and sophistication.

Performance

  • Morning energy: This genuinely helps wake you up
  • Active days: Excellent for workouts and busy schedules
  • Longevity: Better staying power than most citrus scents thanks to the pepper

Which Fussy formulation this is

Fussy sells two deodorant formulations. Its FAQ says of bicarbonate of soda: “Our Normal formula does but we use much smaller amounts than others plus a very high grade”, and “We also have a Sensitive formula, which doesn’t contain bicarb.” On Fussy’s ingredients page, Sodium Bicarbonate is listed under the Normal formula only. The Sensitive formula adds Glyceryl Caprylate and Arrowroot Powder, and Fussy says of the first: “Glyceryl Caprylate is from the coconut, and replaces the baking soda used in our regular formula.” Every other highlighted ingredient, Tapioca Starch included, appears on both lists.

Fussy sells this scent in both formulations, and this review does not establish which one it describes. Both refill at 40g and the scent name is identical either way, so nothing on the listing distinguishes them for you. If you react to bicarbonate of soda, use the Normal / Sensitive filter on Fussy’s refill page rather than choosing by scent name. This review is based on published specifications, not on wear testing.

Final Thoughts

Wide Eyed is for those who want their deodorant to do more than just protect - it’s aromatherapy and odour control combined.
