Doper Girls: What do you think of guys who use Tag or Axe deodorant spray?

axe/tag = nasty

drakkar = yum=)

Also, one I ran across in Germany - Aztek … very yum=)

Gross, lets just say if you can purchase a “cologne-type” item for under $50 it may not be the best idea. But I must say their commercials are killer.

Band name! BAAAAA-NNNND NAME! That is SO a band name! I’m tempted to start a band just to use it.


According to many women I have spoken to on the issue, Drakkar is the cologne equivalent of Axe. YMMV.

The cologne I use gets compliments from employees, relatives, friends and strangers, both male and female (all ages!), and of course, my wife. It also helps to put the cologne in the right place, one spray on the left forearm down to the back of your hand, the same for the right forearm, and one spray from the left shoulder towards the back of your neck and then your right shoulder. The reason being, that your shirt and collar slightly rub your skin as you turn your head, which releases a faint scent of the cologne. Even if I sweat a little on the those areas, the mixture of perspiration and the cologne actually smells even better! I kid you not! Moderation is key though…more is definitely not better. I’ve been wearing this stuff since my wife (then girlfriend) got a bottle for me half a lifetime ago…20+ years.

The cologne?

The stuff that never gets advertized, is the stuff worth getting. Why buy stuff that needs to be advertized when word of mouth is the best advertizing? If it’s advertized, then it’s not making it on it’s own merit, or is an attempt to overprice mouthwash for dogs.

Axe smells as good as Tabu.

In other words, stay far away from it. Very far away! Unless you want to repel women, in which case go ahead.

Eh, like I said in the linked Stink-Pretty thread: I made the mistake of using Axe as a full body spray once or twice. It sucks. I use a short burst on my chest before going to the gym, which is nice because it keeps me fresh enough to get though a workout without nausating myself and everyone else with BO and it washes off pretty easily.

Let me be the voice of dissent. Axe (Phoenix) rocks my socks. None of the other scents smell remotely good.

Let me also tell you my method of Axe use. Short spray to underarms after using fairly neutral deodorant. So when you get close to me, you are like “omfg, you smell awesome!”

That’s my take on it.

      • First of all I’d like to say that the Google ads for this page are simply stunning.
        . . . .
  • Secondly I wanted to say I was in a Wal-Mart yesterday, and there was an amazingly good-looking ~18yr old girl walking around in the store, in a black sexy “clubbing” style skirt oufit, and a “Axe” shirt with a belt of Axe products. Overall she looked something like Laura Croft. I didn’t notice all this until she had wandered by a few times. She seemed to just be wandering in circles, outside of the women’s merchandise, and appeared to be just shopping like everyone else. Except that she never really picked anything up of course. A couple guys wandered by me looking and talking about her (and smiling) and one of them went up to her and ask something, and she sprayed a bit of some something on his shirt.
  • It was totally cheesy, but the girl was extremely attractive. I didn’t ask her nuthin and she didn’t spray sh!t on me.

Well, I haven’t noticed anything obnoxious about it, but I don’t like it as much as my husband’s Grey Flannel. Ivylad puts that on and he can as soon as he puts the cap back on.

:smack:

insert “have me” after “he can”

Even better: Brand Name!

Start a *product * and call it “Concentrated Mancandy”.

I’m fairly young, and every single one of my female friends has told me never to wear an “Old Spice” product if I’m looking to attract girls my age, since they all associate the scent with their fathers.

I think I have to agree with you on that, too. If I’m thinking of the right cologne, I recall it as being very much a “shirt open to the waist and chest hair tangled with way too many gold chains” type of fragrance. Which is great if that’s your thing.
