Whats the deal with that Axe stuff?
 

A friend of mine told me that the axe deoderant releases some sort of chemical in the scent that has been proven to attract the ladies.

So he decided to put some on before a concert he went to. A few girls told him he smelled nice, and then some really cute girl grabbed him and started to dance with him. All of a sudden this girl turns around and just starts making out with another cute girl.

Later that night the same girl sees my friend again and just grabs him around the stomach and starts to dance again. Have any of you tried this stuff? Does it really work?

I'm not quite sure that would be a legal substance. In any case, it's probably just really strong pheromones. Or the girl was horny and your friend got lucky.

Do a little research on it, see what's in it.

My usual antiperspirant was discontinued. I saw an Axe display at the CVS, sniffed each of the possibilities, and went with the Tsunami, which is an ocean/citrus scent.

I'm not getting any more than usual from my wife, however.

(edit: I hadn't heard anything about Axe prior to purchase.)

Had to be coincidence. However that would be the most awesome product ever.

But could it become a curse as well. Think about wearing it to the wrong functions. Never ever wear it to a family reunion. LOL

Go rent the movie "Love Potion #9". Funny movie depicting a magic potion that instantly attracted the ladies. I remember one scene with the guy running down the street and about 5000 women running after him. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LOL

turbo now that you say that, I have also seen that movie.

It did become a curse to that guy. Geez, movies trying to teach a lesson. ;)

Let's see - he went to a concert. I'd say that, not the deodorant, is the explanation for the events.

But if it was the deodorant - I'd have to get some of that before it gets outlawed. :D

pheromones are what it releases. I just remembered my friend tried it because he heard a friend of his tried it and that kid was getting the ladies as well. I don't think this is coincidence.

I'd bet it's increased confidence from thinking the deodorant makes them more attractive.

before i actually tried the stuff, i agreed with all the naysayers who note that it's problem circumstancial events, or phermones...

honestly, what it is (and i don't pretend to know), it works. in the past month or so since i've started wearing the stuff, i've been told i smell good on a daily basis. it's good stuff.

yea, i use it too, and i also get told i smell nice, but i don't think it has any effect beyond that, i do know that there have been studies that show women are turned on by cirtain odors, same with guys... Something like lavender and vanilla and pumkin? I'm not sure

i just stopped wearing the stuff, and come to think of it, ive been told i look different, but that has to be something unrelated.
i think too many ppl are wearing it now, they wouldnt sell so much of the stuff at such a low price if it was that good.
then again maybe they will raise the price of it shortly, and i should stock up on it
ugh, im so confused, im trying the old spice spray (all the axe stuff is a spray right?), im still looking however i feel the old spice is stronger, but a nicer smell to me at least

on the science channel, i heard jasmine has the highest properties over vanilla and such for being pleasing to women (strongest, yet most subtle)
well were on the subject, can we talk about what kind of conditioner you use as well? leave-in or not, something thats moisturizing. im trying to grow it out, but with the amount of hair now, gel isnt it enough to keep it from frizzing/puffing out especially in the cold, windy weather

i wore it once, but i dont think it smells very good. Maybe its because im not a woman :)

Okay, I'm not sure what it is about this stuff, but it DOES drive women wild. I got it one time when I had an event to go to (it was the cheapest thing on the shelf due to a special, and I had left my usual deoderant at home), I had a hotel room with two ladies (friends, but nothing more). They noticed the bottle laying on my dresser and asked what it smelled like, so I sprayed a little. One of them gave me a look I NEVER thought I'd see from her, and said "mmmmm... its..... nice." And then looked away blushing. I've also noticed I get a LOT more hugs when I wear it. I don't wear it often, but when I do, its noticable results.

Also note that it doesn't work for crap as a true deoderant....if your armpits smell, axe won't do shit about it.

Ive been wearing it for a while and have got many of the ladies saying, "you smell good!" but nothing more...maybe i should put more on.

Axe just came out with a stick deoderant and i picked some up because it came free in a gift pack thing that was surprisingly cheap. The stick deoderant is pretty good...works better as an antiperspirant than the spray. Worth a try.

just smells good. If that was true, it probably wouldn't be sold in normal stores.

Most quality perfumes & colognes trigger phermones.
This was just a rumor put out by their marketing department.

I get a LOT more compliments on my "Obsession"
the AXE just stank in comparison.

Let's put it this way, women go out of their way to smell me,
and some even like mackin' on my neck because of it. ;)

The results are fairly consistent & always good.

Where the hell do I get this?

IM in australia and never heard of it..

SOMEONE SEND ME SOME !!!!

I wear the stuff all the time. My scent of choice is phoenix, and I've had quite a few people comment on how good it smells. My ex-girlfriend really liked it.

hmmm.. I dont wear it, I wear Polo Blue or the new Hugo and I get told I smell good quite often as well. Although the axe stuff is quite cheap and if it really does smell that wonderful I would find it to be worth checking out...

I wear it whenever I go out. I use the scent "Kilo" (i'm in the states, it also goes by "Africa" in Europe), and have always received high praise for it. On a few occasions, I will get the blush and look-away after they get a sniff. I don't know why, but it fuckin works. Just spray some on the neck and chest- use it as a cologne, not as a deoderant, because it has no antiperspirant and will only mask smell.

Yes it smells good. No it does nothing chemically to the girls to make them more attracted to you, unless they like pretty smells.

i bought Axe Tsunami a few days ago, any opinions of it?

We got a box of promotionals to give out the the guy residents living on our campus- they went pretty quickly after the girls started commenting on them. Meself, I think they are a real turn on.

i just did some research on this axe stuff and i found out that most of it is love/hate for girls, some axe will make girls love you and some will want to stay away from you...Tsunami is most prefferred but some girls just totally HATE it! Most girls think Orion is good but a few think its too soapy (whatever that means)

I've got axe but I don't use it so much, it's more like cologne than deodorant, and in those rare occasions when I start sweating, it doesn't do the job.

I've got Armani Mania deodorant and cologne, and not only does the deodorant work extremely well, I really like the way it and the cologne smells. And I've gotten at least one compliment that totally made my day :)

It doesn't really do anything for me, honestly. I prefer something nice and subtle on a guy, generally something classic like Grey Flannel or 4711.

Yea it's pretty much worthless as a antiperspirant but it does smell pretty nice. And it wears off come nightfall (if you apply in 5:30 AM :p) so if you work then go out you'll have to reapply it.

I'll have to get some tsunami, I have kilo now.
Anyone try voodoo?

I'm a girl and I think it smells good.

Voodoo smells good. Yay.

Wear it every day, deo and collogne. Have been for at least a year. Still single... no girls... no noticable change... then again that may just be me...
The commercials are cool though.

side topic/hijack

I always find it a little weird that someone can get complemented ona smell, that anyone else can put on? sure it can smell nice, but all you are doing is putting on an artifical substance which isn't really part or related to you at all?
i guess the same could be said about anything artifical that we have, and isn't really "part" of us though?
especially, cause back in the primitve days, i imagine the guys didn't all have nice cars, hair gel, deodorant, in order to seduce the girls and attact them? :p

that said, yes i do often spray myself in order to smell "good" though, although naturally releasing pheremones as you go about your day, would seem the natural way about things?

sorry for the topic change......

All it does is get rancid as it combines with sweat. Well, that and choke anyone within a ten foot radius of where you're standing when you put it on. Pheromones are destroyed by alcohol, so I don't see how it could be helping that much.

its been out in the UK for about 15 or so years, but called Lynx instead, i used to wear but i find it too strong , so i switched to an unperfumed deodarant with some allure, i get a lot of people asking what it is and where to get it.

Its funny to see the commercials in the states haven't changed any in all that time.

I wear it and get some comments on that I smell good......It gives me a little bit more atteniton.....helps start a conversation....good stuff i like the kilo kind.....i figured that the ladies love that the best!

Body chemistry has a lot to do with it too. It can work great for one guy and terrible for another. An example from my life. I use Old Spice Red Zone deoderant, no pheromones no nothing, just smells nice. Being in theatre, I hav to go to fittings now and then, and I am sure the lady has seen and smelled it all. So I go to a fitting and she says something along the lines of "You smell really good, what are you wearing?" And I reply honestly, then she says, "No, I know what that smells like, and you smell better than that." So, I guess I had a stroke of luck when it comes to old spice. On a side note, my girlfriend says I smell like something different every day. Some of the recent ones were water chesnusts and rosemary.

have to admit...smell is a thing with me. I have to like the scent first and foremost. after all I'm the one who has to wear it. I remember one time I overheard a girl(who I was interested in) say that she reeeeally liked "Eternity." So I went and shelled out $45 for a bottle of this stuff...this is when I was making like $150.00 a week!!! It worked.
I like the marketing for this Axe stuff....it's light,not too serious...
kind of like the product. Of the two types that I tried, Phoenix and I believe Tsunami, they both smelled great but didn't last long at all because of the spray application.

NOW if you want a real nice masculine scent try some essential oils of Sandlewood. Shit...that stuff makes my OWN nipples hard.
don't ask me where to get it though, I haven't seen it in quite a while. a nice patchouli with a real woody kind of lilt to it is sure to get you noticed to0.

i use axe and none of this stuff happen

Essential oils are great, I have a friend who runs an essential oil business. So when I can afford it I always smell really good.

Aha, I saw somebody mention "Voodoo" and I thought it could be the same thing as Lynx, thanks for confirming. I use Lynx Voodoo, haven't had any complaints or compliments but I only spray it on lightly.
