Been using Axe daily for a month now.
The plus:
1. It smells nice
2. It's cheap

The Minus:
1. the smell fades within the hour.
2. So does its deoderant effect.
3. it is NOT an anti-perpspirant!
4. It's COLD AS FSCK! when you put it on. I about jumped out of my boxers when i first tried it.

Will I buy axe again? no thanks.
Does it help me get play? Not sure, was dating a lot before i started using it. Not much has changed after the fact. I just figure I like smelling nice, and this stuff does, but only for about an hour.

I got a can of Phoenix scented Axe bodyspray last night. I really like the scent and I dunno about you guys, but it's lasted me all day. I mean, you can't smell it unless you're close to me, but it's nice - I definitely have no BO. Hehe. Of course, I did something tricky...

I used my regular deodorant/antiperspirant (clear, unscented roll-on) first and let that dry then I sprayed my armpits, across my chest, and a little under my neck.

I can definitely see this as being good when close with a girl. It's subtle yet very nice.

Welcome to last week - that's what the Axe commercials are!

Last week? They had the same commercials in Germany about 7 (or even more) years ago.

Duh, but the proper expression is "Hello, and welcome to last week!"

Now if only I could find that image.

That's the one.

This thread has been resurrected for this question -

Any places in Canada carry Axe? I can't find any at the local drugstores, and I'm curious as to how this would affect my girlfriend.

That's all fine and dandy, but I was hoping for a place like the earlier link posted. Those SOBs don't ship to Canada or even take it as a billing address. :|

AXE has got to be the worst deodorant-type product ever. I can't stand any of the fragrances, it doesn't adhere to the skin, as the liquid flows down from your armpits. Not to mention that the effect (deodorant and fragrance) won't last long.

I use nivea or gillette deodorant, coupled with a nice cologne (it might be expensive, but it'll last years).

uh how much are you putting on? it *flows* down your armpits?? :Q

This stuff has been on sale in the UK as 'Lynx' with the same Ad's you guys are getting now for over 10 years. I just saw the ads when in NY last weekend.

So 'OLD'.

And BTW, it's just piss weak, cheap as chips everyday Deo, I don't think they have put pheromones in it or anything....

I really don't have to put much on ... but you can feel it's much more liquid than other deos. Spray a little and it'll flow down (ow even have that "wet armpit" look on your shirt.

Yeah, this stuff is too very old here in Brazil.
It's possible to combine the two "pro's" someone mentioned (It smells nice, It's cheap) into "It smells cheap". That's the feeling that I get.

OTOH, I saw today a CK cologne kit, with 5 fragrances (30ml total) for U$30. You really don't have to pay much to have good cologne.
