The hell with this Axe stuff. My husband wears cologne, 'sexual'.... and good gods, is it hot.
Rawr!!!

I like Aqua di Gio a helluva lot too. It's yummy.

If they haven't overdone it in general, I don't notice it as a bad taste on the skin. That's only RIGHT after the spray or if they did it wrong.

[B]ITS HOT....THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT!!!!! IT MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP THEIR BONES!!!! OOO YESS!!!!!

I checked the stuff out in the store one day and my wife hated the smell of it, but she's also one of those like Cello that would rather have Zest soap smell instead of cologne..

So I'll buy some and when we get in a fight (which I always lose) I'll put some on...just to piss her off....

i have used axe phoenix for awhile now, and the ladies do like it. But i cant equate the attention i get to the spray, but it cant hurt!

Hmm...that's good nuf for me! I'm gonna get me some

To be very honest, the smell of Axe makes me want to vomit.

My boyfriend wears Axe...he smells like the sexy...it makes me want to snuggle him and then screw him senseless. No kidding.

Is it possible that girls recognize the distinct odor, relate to the commercial, and then react as the females in the commercial do, if only because they are letting their lives and actions be dictated by popular media?

I rarely watch TV, so I'd have to say no.

Kilo rocks, probably the best Axe out there. If you use the Axe kilo body wash the scent lasts 2x longer!

I managed to find a vanilla bath wash at a pharmacy (couldn't find any in the supermarkets for some reason). The kilo/vanilla combination is great, though.

Where do you folks buy your colognes (aqua di gio etc)? I can't seem to see any in supermarkets (where I get my Axe's). I'm sure they used to have some (when I was younger and not interested in them..). Perhaps pharmacies might sell them, I don't know.

I love the Axe body wash on my husband-- I can't get enough of him when he wears it!

It's amazing how much of a pro-Kilo sentiment there is in this thread. Right when Axe first came out, I got a cute Walgreens clerk to smell all of the (six at the time) scents and help me pick one. We eliminated three as being obnoxious, narrowed it down to two, and she finally decided she liked Kilo best. Been wearing it ever since (three years?) and have had nothing but excellent responses to it. I now do the Kilo body wash, antipersperant gel solid, and the aerosol spray. :thumbsup:

since it wasn't mentioned on the first page of comments, i'd just like to explain that Axe is heavily advertised here in the states.

the ads are also extremely ridiculous, like a guy waiting for his date and the mom smells him and then hits on him and the daughter comes down the stairs like "?" then followed by a warning about moms and moms' friends hitting on you when axe has been applied.

And I'm in the states, but apparently I don't read the right magazines/listen to the right radio stations/watch the right television shows. :D I've dropped Axe again, I'm back to the good ole Gillette Cool Wave.

That's what my guy does...mm...

Works for me.

that's crazy 'cause i live under the proverbial rock... i.e. it took me like a week before i found out about hurricane katrina from my bossguy who was like "*GUFFAW* WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

yet i have been inundated with axe commercials. i don't watch tv, i don't read the news, and i only listen to the radio when my boss turns it on when we're out working in the field... and it's usually not even an audible volume because we're being actually working.... and the radio at work isn't even how i first learned of axe anyway...

how i've seen these commercials is beyond me

I am currently in a legal battle with "AXE Corporation" as they have snuck into my bedroom and stole my boxers, I wondered where they got it from!

I think the Axe thing is all advertising - hitting guys weak spots in thinking : )
- kinda like Victoria's Secret commercials too

vanilla, jasmine are good scents I think
