Product description

Doctor of Administrative Sciences Rajaniemi, the man behind Valco's legendary lavender-scented ear grease, has struck again.

Valco customers now have the chance to own a piece of genuine 1980s charm in the form of Doctor Rajaniemi's Petroli-Saappi Perspirant. This deodorant doesn't smell like petrol, and it doesn't smell like a Saab. It smells like success, neighborly envy, and the achievement that crystallised in the ownership of a Saab 99 Petro.

The scent began life as a simple but deep trauma. In 1983, when the future doctor was nine, his father did not buy a Saab. He spent the money on an Escort. Meanwhile Keijo's dad next door had a brand-new Petroli-Saab, which young Rajaniemi watched from his bedroom window with quiet longing, and a growing bitterness.

From that disappointment came a scent that doesn't apologize. It isn't "fresh." It isn't "modern." It's the aroma of ambitious middle-classness. It tells the world that the wearer has standing, history, and the good sense to pick the best that money can buy.

Doctor Rajaniemi's Perspirant, Petroli-Saappi edition, is for those who remember the time before mindfulness. When a real man drove a Saab, smoked a cig at the wheel, and "Escort" made you think of the car first.

Made in Finland. Tested in cruel human trials.

1980s charm

Doctor Rajaniemi, the man behind Valco's legendary ear grease, strikes again. This deodorant is made for people who appreciate classic style and aren't afraid to smell the part.

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

We could tell you how great we are, but that would be a bit suspicious. So we'll let our customers do the talking instead. Reviews are real. Not every product has enough reviews yet, but the ones that do show up first. Photos are taken by customers themselves, and unfortunately it shows.

Your armpits deserve better.

Remember the day Keijo-from-next-door pulled into the drive with his new Saab 99 Petro? Your dad stood at the kitchen window, coffee cup in hand, muttering something under his breath you weren't meant to hear. You watched that car from your bedroom window and decided that one day, you'd drive a Saab too.

Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. Maybe your dad bought a Ford Escort.

If your birth year starts with a nine, or you're some 2000s-born child, you have no idea what we're talking about. Saab was a Swedish car that Finnish men used to demonstrate they had achieved something in life. Nothing earth-shattering, but more than enough. The Saab man didn't brag. He didn't have to. The car spoke for itself, and the neighbours knew.

That feeling now comes in a can.

If you're too young to remember any of this: buy it anyway. You don't know what you're missing, which is exactly why you need this.

Great products without the dead weight*

Did you know that almost all the electronics inside headphones come from a handful of giants?

Everything else is just smoke and sales talk.

A small maker like Valco can use the exact same top-tier components as the famous mega-corporations stick in their pricier models.

We just don't have a thousand employees to feed, a Manhattan skyscraper to pay for, or a CEO with a private jet (yet).

Which is why we can give you the best bang-for-buck on the market.

And what happens after you've bought? Our customer service and Valco's in-house repair team make sure our products last. And if you fancy a change, you can trade your old Valcos back in to us. Try doing that anywhere else.

At the end of the day, the point of all this is simple. We sell headphones to fund our own Death Star, so we can rule the galaxy.

*except for the founders' beer guts

FAQ

More answers to all sorts of questions over here.

Is this a deodorant or an antiperspirant?

Yes.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

We're not doctors and we don't play any on TV. Give it a go and let us know. What we do know is that it's not for eating.

Why is Valco selling antiperspirant?

Because the headphone seller's armpits sweat too. And if we're already selling headphones, we might as well sell everything else.

Was this tested on animals?

Tested on Raimo and Hannes, which is roughly the same thing.

Is there a warranty?

No. If you still stink, that's on you. Unlike our other products, this one we won't repair.
