UGH!

There are very few smells on a man that scream "RAGING TEENAGE HORMONES" and "I AM TOO CHEAP TO BUY REAL COLOGNE" more than the smell of Axe body spray (and the knock-offs).

I'd rather my bf smelled like BO than that shite. blech.

I use the 'Touch' scent. My girlfriend really likes it, and I've had some of her friends say it smells good too. :thumbsup:

Edit: I don't use the spray, I use the dry kind.

Rule of thumb: If another male can smell your cologne, then you are wearing too much. If another male can tell what cologne you are wearing, then you need to stop bathing in it!

The only scent my wife (and I) like is the one with the dragons on it (Essense?) All the others smell like you're actually adding BO.

I don't know about that. I've tried many expensive colognes over the years and one day bought a can of TAG out of curiousity (the blue can, "Afterhours" I believe) and sprayed that on me one hot humid day before going in for some onsite pc work. The girl up front started staring at me and I asked if everything was okay. she just blurted out "You smell REALLY nice".

I chalked it up as a fluke, but I swear everytime I wear it I get a compliment from a girl and I actually think the expensive cologne smells better.....go figure.

I was visiting my older brother soon after Axe came out, and we were about to go to a club. I pull out the Axe and start talking about the "axe effect" and how I was going to get all the girls. My brother puts on some expensive cologne. So we go downstairs and his female roommate says that someone smells really nice. So an argument ensues until she comes over and smells us both.

Axe effect FTW! I taunted my brother all night.
