You must be too young to remember Hai Karate.
re: less is more, I couldn’t agree more, but only one spray? I have to disagree. One of the stinkiest places on any one is behind the ear; however, put a little cologne back there (a drop behind each ear) and you’re gold. Also, a spray at the base of the throat/chest before putting on your under shirt. It keeps the scent on you and not floating around. Having a hariy chest helps, as hair holds odor (as any long-haired lady or fella can attest after a night in a smoky bar).
So Steve Carrell is good to go?
If I can smell you from more than a few inches away, you’re wearing too much. And there’s only one guy I really get that close to. If you want to smell good, invest in some good aftershave or cologne or something, and do NOT overdo. Or just take a shower. I love the way my guy smells when he comes out of the shower. Mmm, clean man.
I think the commercials are hilarious. As for the scent, it should be called Woman Repellent.
Are you kidding?
Yup. Smells like loser to me.
How about Aqua Velva?
How about Old Spice?
The real question to ask is if Doper Gals will open their shirt to their waist and make commercials of it. That is what I want to know, and of course, what channel will those commercials be on
My son is 12 going on 13, and suddenly he got into using the stuff every morning. I consider the smell of it slightly annoying, but then I understand it’s a normal phase for a 13-year-old to go through. I would expect an adult to put away such childish things.
“Axe” users always make me think of the Aqua Velva man – Poor schmucks who fall for the crap about how the scent is irresistable to women, and have no idea whatsoever that they smell sexy in approximately the same way that urinal cakes do.
These products are the things that tweens and teen girls give as presents to boys that they have crushes on.
And if a guy, who is undoubtedly too young to know any better, actually uses the stuff all over his body, within a few hours he will be reeking like something between hairspray and a wino.
If you’re going to spray a mist of primarily alcohol all over your body, just put a nozzle into a bottle of rubbing alcohol. It’s cheaper.
Boys, boys, boys: save up and get a bottle of Drakkar. My first bottle (purchased in 1998) is still serving me well, and I have never met a woman who dislikes the scent. Combine one spritz across the chest or throat with a sandalwood-scented facial moisturizer and a mild deodorant under the arms, and be amazed at how nobody[sup]1[/sup] mentions how you smell. That’s the idea. My wife loves it because she can distinguish the smell at a distance but has to get up close to me to really savor it. I love it because my wife has to get right up close to me…
- One total stranger has remarked that I smelled wonderful, but she was also very close to me at the time. Also, I think she told all of the other female employees there, because for the rest of the night I got lots of very friendly attention.
My son uses axe and it’s total overkill!!! The whole house reeks of it after he goes to school, and it lingers until I feel nauseated from it.
Men: pheromones please! Be clean, use mild anti-perspirant, and let nature’s musk seduce the women around you.
Meh. My ex-girlfriend (age in mid-20s) liked the Orion scent, but I just put it on a quick spritz under the armpits when I was either a) finishing after the gym or b) not really doing anything that day.
As my steppin’ out colognes, I have Drakkar Noir for night and Very Sexy for Him for the day.
Well, if the commercials can be believed, the stuff is strong enough to attract women through a solid cast iron drainpipe. So unless you’re trying to seduce a woman from afar, like maybe from Jupiter, mebbe it’s a bit too pungent…
I picked up a couple of free samples of Axe. When I apply it, my girlfriend makes a face one would expect if I had used pepper spray as an antiperspirant.
I generally wear it out when I want to avoid the temptations of women, men, animals small and large, anything with olfactory glands.
Well, both my husband and son use Axe, so I’d have to say I love the men who use it.
Ah, but is it because of or in spite of their scent?
