PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- VEET®, the number one hair depilatory in the world, is proud to introduce its new Suprem'Essence™ line of effective and efficient hair removal products.  This innovative formulation, featuring essential oils and a new rose scent, has improved smell and reaffirms VEET's position as the leader in the category, trumping its main competitor Nair in consumer preference research conducted by Reckitt Benckiser this year.  In a double blind study of 305 women who tried both products, more women agree the VEET Suprem'Essence Spray On smelled better than Nair® Lotion Aloe & Lanolin.  Available in a gel cream tube, pump or spray on format, this truly luxurious new formula removes unwanted hair in just 3 minutes for results that last up to twice as long as shaving.
