Okay, I admit I thought this axe stuff was bullshit.

I work at Rite Aid, and as I was stocking deodarant, I saw it, so I thought what the hell and put some on.

In the next hour, I had no less than 6 people come up and tell me I smelled nice. So maybe it does do something.

Pragma

I'd wager that the "something it does" is "smell nice". People tend to find things they think smell nice a bit more attractive than things that smell bad - thus it does help a little in that respect.

its good stuff and i use it. i like the way it smells, i dont care what anyone else thinks. its not a deodorant...so you need to use your right guard under the pits still. and spray this stuff on the neck chest and above the dill. they need to come out with an aftershave.

Axe is an excellent product.

It does in fact contain pheremones, but that doesn't mean shit. It does make a girl slightly more sextual stimulated, but it turns out less so than just a good smell. So whoopie. However Axe is very cheap like 5 dollars or something and smells as good and has the same phermones as any designer colone. Therefor i recommend getting some as ladys love a man who smells good.

wow, can we buy this at any store that sells deoderant?

smithja0423

i honestly think that there must be a lot of women who have absolutely horrible taste in scent. I've tried nearly every axe variety, and most of it makes you just smell like you're wearing $4 cologne.

They do however, make a good stick deodorant now.

space-n-'cord

OMG, I'm so sick of hearing about this stuff. Well, not this stuff, but every time I go the movies they have an add for that crappy "Bodman fragrance spray from Body Fantasies" crap in the previews. It's disgusting.

You mean theres more to it than funny commercials......

impulse03

id say axe is all a hoax. yes ive had women come up to me and tell me that i smell nice, but man, after you start sweating some, that stuff smells like some real nasty chinese food.

I considered trying it once but now I don't think I will. You guys mention that it goes rancid when you sweat. I sweat quite a lot. I'd rather not be rancid.

AfterBurn

try it, just treat it as a cologne and not as deoterant. i buy arrid which is anti persperant and deoterant in 1 and its uncented then i spray axe and i stay clean and smell good

I currently use some Arm and Hammer brand anti-perperent/deorderant, and the either Axe kilo or Axe Tsunami.

With the arm adn hammer and the axe, i smell so fresh so clean all day long and the ladies love it.. (I wish haha)

imperfect_anya

I dunno, but I really do like the scent of that Axe body spray although it doesn't work on every guy that wears it.

I don't get Axe. It smells like butane. Hell, it IS mostly butane. How does this turn people on?

SVT01Cobra

lol, this reminds me of a time when I was shopping at the mall, and when I got out of my car some douche stopped me and tried to sell me some cologne with pheromones. From a marketing stand point, this soliciting bastard had a good idea. He went on to call it a "liquid panty dropper". Approaching teens selling cologne for cheap prices that's guaranteed to get them laid, who wouldnt buy it??

Anyways, I called his bullshit, and told him my cologne smelled better than that stuff, and I get plenty of action without it. Now to most people it actually does work. Not because of any pheromones or anything like that, but because people believe that when they wear that stuff it attracts women. Thus making them more confident, and getting them more women, and of course, they are going to come back when they run out.

The marketing strategy of AXE is the same, I can recall several of their commercials. It may smell nice, but that's it. If you get more action than normal, it's because you believe it's doing something.

ForgottenKnight

I've been using this stuff for a while. I wear any form of old spice antipersperant (gell or stick) for the deotorant, and then treat axe as a cologne. It hasn't done anything for me in the form that the commercials lead one to believe. I just like the smell.

La Male by Jean Paul Goutier has those pharamone stuff in it

shannon

i'm with you on this one
if perfume companies actually harnessed the power of pheromones it would be scientific news and it wouldn't just be a rumor and some ads. they work subliminally and they yeild incredible power, which is why there is such an ethical debate around their use.
if people were to harness the power of pheromones they could use them in warfare (certain pheromones can make animals very aggressive) as well as for sex. and the sex brings up an ethical issue because it would be like drugging someone to sleep with them really. anyways, that's what my crazy teacher taught us in our senses class. sorry for the rant. i just thought it was funny that this crazy powerful thing was thought to be used in a $3 can of deoderant spray.

when i was back in canada i discovered 'axe' is the same sorta thing as 'lynx' is here in the uk... fyi...

i've found to get a lot of 'u smell good' compliments. no complaints fro a cheap deo., cologne still works better though!

Octo

i usually wear this after i smoke weed

a strong scent

clevaccount1

I dunno about attracting the ladies, but it gets rid of the weed smell real nice.

Outlander36

Women like a guy that smells good. IMO, Axe smells pretty damn good so I wouldn't doubt that was all there was to it.

lions20

I don't see how a deodrant can make women want to make out with you. If you take some fat slob and bathe him in the stuff chicks will not jump all over him unless he flashes a lot of cash.

ChrisJericho

Alright I read some of the positive reviews about the Axe spray and decided to buy some since it's only $5 a can. I really liked the smell of the Kilo, so I got that. I dunno what effect it will have on the girls... but it's making me want to eat my wrist !!!!!

So uh yeah... I'll give the results once class starts again.

Penn and Teller have done extensive research into pheramones and they are complete bullshit. Axe deodorant body spray is just that, deodorizing body spray that smells good. So if a girl likes someone that smells good, then voila, a tv commercial is born.

oh, P&T 's BUllshit series comes back on air soon. heres their link. hoping it works...

StaindGirl

I personally dont like AXE that much.. sure it smells good.. but some people go overboard with it.. its not like the commercials.. girls arent going to go up to you and start undressing you and feeling you up.. and they wont start humping you or anything. Im a girl.. and yeah.. I dont know.. "the Axe affect", doesnt really affect me at all. Sure the guys smell good.. but so does other mens sprays... and colgnes...but meh.. thats just what i think!

Stiltzkin

I have a friend who has been wearing this stuff for a super long time, and he has never had any luck with the ladies. It is utter nonsense. It is just an advertising gimmick, and anything else is just coincidence. Get over it

That's not entirely true. A cologne/aftershave can smell different on different people. Especially as it starts to wear down a little bit (immediately after applying, yes, it does smell identical). For example, Joop! (cologne for men) smells good on me (according to my wife), but smells like Bounce (static fighting dryer sheet) on another friend of ours.

On topic: My brother visited for the holidays, and wore Axe... don't know which flavour it was, but I wasn't crazy about the scent.

Parkhurst

I don't know if they have a different ingredient list for the stuff in the states. But, as said before Axe is marketed as Lynx over here in the UK and generally considered to be on the lower end of the market for b/o basher.

They still have some good adverts though, the last been the '24hr Lynx affect.' This was recently shown in the press with a picture of that guy who married Britney Spears.

Great advert, lousy product.

I don't know what it is about Axe, but I love the way it smells! It a strange way it does make a guy wearing it more attractive. I have no idea why though.

I got some axe and my fiancee thinks I am out trolling anytime I put it on! So it just sits in my drawer now.

Paq

i just use degree underarm antiperspirant and axe as a body cologne stuff, just spray on chest, neck, wrists and you're good to go. It covers the smell of my work shirt when i'm working and people tell me i smell nice. I also happen to love the way it smells, and i'm not allergic to it like i am to 99% of scented items...

heh

Oh, and as far as pantydropping cologne...2 things. 1. Aqua di Gio...seriously, this one girl i work with will just claw you and pounce on you if you wear it. she loves it. 2. Polo Blue. more conservative smell, but most ladies i've talked to have loved it.


Oh, and axe is available at walmart for under $4...

Quite a glowing recommendation.

If anyone needs me, I'll be out getting some Axe.

This whole thread is starting to sound as if it was a commercial it self by the whole Axe/Lynx-company!!!

You're not gonna get lucky with the ladies, just by wearing Axe! So please, stop believing that! These guys have just done a great job promoting and advertising for their product, showing in all kinds of commercials (link) that you'll get all the sexiest women you want, just by using their deodorant. Obviously -reading this whole thread- they've succeeded!

If you do get lucky, while wearing Axe: It's just a mind-thing. If you believe this product will "get you some", you'll act in a totally different way towards women, much more self-confident and therefore much more attractive. I'll bet if you would just change the labels on a deodorant-bottle, making the guy believe he used Axe, but in fact he used a different one, he'll get lucky anyway!

everybodylovesr

Has anyone used Intesa's Guarana deodorant?. it's supposed to be ..hm.. seductive.. I've had good results with it too. Now I've bought the shower gel with guarana too.
I'm trying Axe (I bought touch, but I think I will try the other varieties too) tonight..

skinnymofo

theres nothing in axe or those other axe style spray/stick deoderants to make girls jump at you. they just smell good and if your close to them youll get a "you smell good" and get closer. No one wants to be next to a stinky person.
