Does the Axe body spray really work?

[Ms_Lilith]

oh jesus christ. Well, axe should feel proud that their advertising works.



*rolling eyes*


My honey uses axe deoderant and the axe spray, and while I do enjoy the scent, they don't have me wet the second I smell it. I prefer a good cologne to the axe scents, and I have to say his Armani will get me revved before anything that costs $8 a bottle.

The way they advertise it, you'd think it was spray on pheromones that just make women lose all of the inhibitions. I don't think so.

Okay, as a former "fragrance model" and perfume saleswoman, I am here to tell you the proper way to purchase a cologne:

First go to a reputable department store and stop at their fragrance counter. Tell the salesperson there that you're "just smelling today," and try whatever they have available to smell. If you don't know where to start, then ask the salesperson for suggestions (it will probably be a woman, and all women who work at fragrance counters know their favorites). Don't just spray on yourself randomly before smelling...men's cologne is notoriously hard to wash off if it hasn't had time to tone down on your skin.

Once you find one or two favorites, spray them on your wrists from a distance (don't rub) and leave the store. Walk around for the rest of the day and notice how the smell changes. Something that smells good from the bottle may not smell good on you.

If you like what you smell, go back the next day and buy the cologne. The smallest bottle should be enough to last you at least a year (if it doesn't, you're using too much). If you buy a cheaper "drug store" cologne, it will smell more like alcohol. If you buy a "body spray" the scent will not last all day. For a cologne, a single spray on the tummy before you put on your shirt should be sufficient.

The axe commercials are right in that scent is very much tied to memory. Everytime i smell someone wearing Aqua di Gio, I think of my trip to Italy b/c that's what my host wore. If a good-smelling guy walks by, I will give him a second look. But, of course, you should address the fundamentals - frequent bathing and antiperspirent/deodorent - before worrying about cologne.

Tag

Tag is a product like Axe. I don't know if it was the Tag or a coincidence but the first time I wore Tag my mother-inlaw made a pass at me. I had to pick her up from bowling because her car was in the shop. When she got in my car she leaned over to smell me and put her hand on my thigh. Leaving her hand there she said you smell great.
As I pulled into her drive she leaned over again and nibbled my ear and rubbed my thigh a little higher and when I stopped the car she kissed me full on the lips.

You tell me????

If that's true, all it tells me is that your mother-in-law doesn't give a shit about her daughter, your wife. And neither do you if you didn't ask her to remove her hand from your leg.

Well, if your wife's around your age, then I think it's wonderful that your mother-in-law's still interested in sex. Life begins at 80, right?

ACK! My 13 year old son practically takes a bath in this stuff.....no matter how many times I tell him there IS such a thing as too much!!! The house always feels like it is being fumigated.


I agree with the higher pricced colognes....If you are lookinf for a ll day don't need a refresher....but it has come to my attention, that more males are now carrying that kind of thing around to spray "in emergency" ROFLMAO.

I really had no idea that guys actually thought this would help them 'land' some chicks...........but a 21 year old friend of ours keeps some with him at all times in his glove compartment..... his theory is 'ya never know, and it can't hurt' LOL.

I couldn't believe those ads when they first came out. For a minute there, I was trippin' a bit, and thought it was 1976 and I was watching Saturday Night Live.

Defense

Hi all,

In my defense I was taken by surprise and I was driving.


And my wife is 18 years younger than me and my mother-inlaw is 4 years older.

Tag not Axe

Tag is a product like Axe, that seems to work. It seems to only work on older women. I had just showered and sprayed some Tag on and went to the local donut shop for coffee. A older woman in line ahead of me smiled at me and said " you smell great why don't you let me buy your coffee." We chatted and ended up back at her place, where she ripped my clothes off. She told me she was 68.

I received a free sample of AXE and my wife says she likes it!
So, there you go.

 

[MR.GGG]

This is a link to an ad. There seems to be mega research to validate the claims so instead of AXE or any of those cheapo body sprays (about 50% of women seem to like it the rest think it smells like insecticide) why not try something that is designed to go past the like / dislike of a woman and straight to her brain?

I read some of the testimonials and links to articles including actuial research done using double blind studies etc and it sounds good. Being, recently, SINGLE again I'm gonna give this stuff a shot. It'll be interesting to see if there is any truth to the rather incredible claims that some make or claim with this product. I think there is a much better chance of this having the effect on the brain rather than just making a scent that appeals to some women while others hate it.

Anybody tried this??? I'll let ya'll know if I get lucky? Luckier.

Any man can smell like heaven if they put some effort into it.

But if his actions suck and what comes out of his mouth is 100% pure bullshit I'd much rather pinch my nose and walk by as fast as I can.

The thread starter hasn't logged on to Lit since early May, and he hasn't posted since March of 2005. I doubt if he'll see your pearls of wisdom.

What's a pedastool, anyway?

If his actions are good and he smells good that doubles his chances. Right ?

Alright, so I thought the ads were kinda fun. But so what?

Then hubby and I were at the store and sprayed the Axe Voodoo on his wrist then dabbed it on his neck. And said, "What do you think?"

I leaned in, inhaled.... and I swear it was like flipping a switch. I could almost feel my eyes dilate. So I took a big deep sniff. Nearly jumped him right then and there.

"NOW I totally understand those commercials!"

You know how in the Bugs Bunny cartoons the aroma wafts through the air and drags him by the nose? That's what it does to me. But just that one scent by Axe. The others don't do anything for me. Perfect mix with Hubby's natural scent.

*sniff sniff* what's that smell?????
