Marvis Toothpaste from Italy

-
Marvis is one of the most luxurious toothpastes available today.

You might be wondering what makes a toothpaste luxurious. There are several factors:

  1. Elegant packaging
  2. Subtle smooth taste
  3. Fewer ingredients than many toothpastes (less is more these days)
  4. Expensive price of entry
  5. Delivered in small portions, like caviar
Marvis does not miss a single point.

I have the pleasure of owning and using both the "Aquatic Mint" and "Whitening Mint" flavors.

Aquatic Mint is my favorite of the two. It ranks among the best tasting toothpastes of all time. It's super smooth, clean, refreshing and worth keeping in my mouth longer than usual.

Whitening Mint is stronger. I have not used it long enough to report on its whitening effects. My guess is that my teeth are so far gone from years of coffee drinking that they are beyond help.

Both toothpastes are smooth pure white in color.

The boxes feature translations in nine different languages. Clearly, Marvis has a reach far beyond Italy.

There are several other flavors available if you visit the Marvis website. For those of you who live in the USA, Dermstore has all of them. If you live in Italy, your local farmacia might have a few to choose from - and probably at less cost than Dermastore charges.

I loved the copy from their website so much that I'll quote it here. You might guess that the original writers do not possess English as their mother tongue.


Marvis has revolutionized the concept of toothpaste giving it a multi-faceted, modern interpretation and an extraordinary appeal. The breakthrough collection boasts 7 masterpieces of taste: real, original temptations that conquer at the first sampling.

Original, aromatic mixtures provide new, exquisite sensations that transform a simple daily gesture into a moment of pure pleasure. This evolution is based on a traditional processing method that guarantees a dense, compact texture, the maximum protection, an unmistakably fresh sensation and an extraordinary whitening effect.

Marvis stands out on account of its trendy image with an increasingly up-to-date, original and ironic flavor, inspired by the art and fashion worlds, capable of capturing and involving a spellbound public, who is curious and open-minded.

Marvis is a stunning pleasure, a sensation of permanent wellbeing, an unbeatable smile.

Taste the contemporary toothpaste.

I must say that since using Marvis, I have had a permanent sensation of wellbeing.

Maybe not.

Finally, very special thanks to my the patron of my Marvis experience - my brother Bill.

Chocolate Closeup

You know the brand - but not the flavor. I bought this in Nairobi, Kenya. It was made in Egypt for the African marketplace. You won't find it in North America or Europe! It says on the tube, "Limited Edition" - so my guess is that it did not survive as a long-term flavor. Another sales point is that it is labeled "Flavalicious". There is a tension - if it tastes too good, then kids will eat it! And not to worry - it did not taste too good. (But then, I'm not a kid.) There is a small hint of mint. The paste is very light brownish white. And there is a helpful diagram on back showing how good it is to brush your teeth.

Colgate Miswak Toothpaste Review

-

Miswak is a historic method of brushing teeth - reputed to have been used by Muslims over 7000 years ago ( Wikipedia ). Hundreds of years ago, Muslims conquered parts of the world, just like the Europeans. With their domination came spreading Arabic culture. Muslims on Lama Island, off the coast of Kenya, built beautiful buildings with similar architecture to some parts of Morocco, thousands of miles away. Miswak toothpastes are found in the north of England , India, Pakistan and other places around the world. This one's from Turkey. Colgate-Palmolive is a huge multinational corporation based in New York. And obviously, they have factories in Turkey. They sell Misvak toothpaste there but not in the USA. (Companies must adapt to each local market to make money.) Note that the Turkish spelling of miswak is "misvak." This toothpaste has a strong flavor - somewhat anise-like and very clean tasting. It's not as mild as many of the European toothpastes I've reviewed. K

Odol-med3

Translation: "extra-fresh pure". This has a very clean, almost astringent taste... think mouthwash. I like the aftertaste - it leaves my mouth feeling, as they say, extra fresh . Of course it falls into the minty category. The paste appears very similar to Aquafresh - but its taste is nothing like that! Odol-med3 is made in Germany and may not be available elsewhere. The glowing ice on the package might not be something you'd see in America; for some reason, ice and toothpaste are not a natural combination here. But I think that pairing is a good one. My friends John & Amy , who live in Germany, sent this one over. (Thank you!)
