Tech/Engineering / Lubrificantes
English term or phrase: reodourant
De novo os lubrificantes!!!

Qual a diferença entre 'reodourant' e 'deodourant'?

Aparece assim:

Reodourant

Thermo Premium contains a fragrant deodourant that virtually eliminates any 'oil smell' both on delivery and whilst in storage.

Como se diz em português (europeu, de preferência)?

Desodorizante
Explanation:
Sendo a mesma coisa que deodourant, em português europeu é desodorizante e não desodorante.

Continuo com a dúvida, na medida em que o exemplo que dou é um original em inglês da Shell, e eles usam os dois termos, aparentemente com significado diferente.
Obrigado a todos.

Desodorante


Explanation:
This is just a typo, Antrib. Why would it say one thing in the heading and another in the txt?

The "D" is right near the "R" on the keyboard.

reodorante


Explanation:
Não sei explicar exatamente a diferença entre desodorante e reodorante. Talvez o desodorante elimine um odor indesejável, enquanto que um reodorante restaura o odor original de um determinado produto.
De qualquer forma, o termo "reodourant" definitivamente existe em inglês, e não se trata de um "typo". Por favor, verifique as referências abaixo:
