Women only say this because they can’t control themselves when they smell AXE. I’ve seen the documentaries.
Well, if uncontrollable vomiting and a migraine count, yeah. 
I think their commercials are funny, but gawd their product is awful.
I go online and search for unscented body wash base from soapmaking sites.
Yes, I’m *that * serious about unscented soap.
Mrs G likes how the Tom’s line smells on me. They smell distinctly natural like spices or fruits, rather than vague chemical aromatics like “sport” or “fresh”. Since she pointed out that most of the mainstream lines (Brut, etc) smell closest to plastics outgassing, I’ve noticed that I also dislike the chemical scents.
Caveat: I also prefer women’s perfumes and scents that smell like naturalistic scents instead of classic perfumey scents. i.e. Hello Kitty Strawberry is nicer to me than Burberry or Obsession are.
We went to BJ’s last night and discovered Dove makes a men’s soap now. We bought that for Mr. Luna rather than the normal Dove he usually gets.
He does use Axe deodorant/antiperspirant, but does not use the body spray. The hint of scent in the deodorant is enough and not overpowering.
Just please, nothing with musk in it. I’ll never comprehend how men generation after generation fall for the myth that women, while wanting you to be clean, will nonetheless be attracted to the body odor of an ox.
Also a vote for a clean and subtle scent. The best thing is to get unscented deoderant and then some Royall Lyme aftershave.
Mmmmmnnnnn.
I drink and write about wine and there is nothing worse than having anyone’s perfume interfere with smelling the aromas of wine, but on rare occasions I used to buy my ExBF L’Occitaine’s Cade. That was about the only scent that didn’t make me gag.
The worst? Calvin Klein’s Obsession. Smells like bug repellent.
My two “do not do” are already named - Drakkar Noir and Axe anything. Drakkar Noir makes you smell like a young punk who spends all his time in the nightclubs and doesn’t know any better; Axe makes you smell like a teenage boy who doesn’t know any better.
Hm. Might have to try that Mitchum stuff.
Yes, it does tend to be goopy when you take the cap off. I have developed the habit of just taking the – tube? off the cap instead of the cap off the tube, holding it over the cap. That way if it’s going to drip, it drips back into the cap.
And I buy it at the grocery store too.
Q: Does this mean that the best aftershave/cologne is really … none?
…so much for Red for Men & Lagerfeld. Now I have to figure out if they go out on recycling day or have to be driven to the dump for chemical disposal…
I would say for men in relationships, their best smell is the one they and their SO agree on. For single men looking to attract the ladies, yeah, probably go with none. Of course, if you ARE a Drakkar Noir kind of guy, I’d rather find out sooner than later. 
I know how you feel. Thing is, it’s never seemed to matter what I wear–every time a woman gets that comfortable with me, I get compliments on what I’m wearing–even if it’s Arm-and-Hammer. I tend to think that liking the sent is more related to liking the person, unless it is really bad.
I also have yet to find an unscented deodorant that is strong enough. Though I have yet to try out that deodorant stone Dopers often recommend. I have tried both types of Mitchum, and the only kind that works is the gel, and then I have to use up a good eighth of stick each time if I want it to last even half of a workday. And yet the antiperspirant is stronger than the Red Spice deodorant I now use that works perfectly. (The Arm-and-Hammer deodorant I used seemed to have disappeared. Its unscented version worked.)
Dolce & Gabbana light blue. I can’t tell you what it smells like, only that it’s divine. Get it on ebay, cause in a store it starts at $65, I think.
My SO is forbidden from wearing any cologne in the Polo line; my dad and my little brother wear them all, so I associate them with it.
My son got the fourth grade “puberty and hygiene lecture.” As is apparently traditional (because I got it too), companies use this occasion to make brand loyalists out of little kids by giving them product samples.
He comes downstairs - “What are you wearing?! You smell like my grandfather!”
(My grandfather has been dead fifteen years and probably no longer smells like Old Spice - but I’ll always think of Old Spice when I think of his smell).
I like Old Spice - but NOT on my ten year old - or for that matter, my husband.
Get thee to a doctor. I’ve been using Drysol since I was 18 and ruined several silk blouses while wearing Mitchum. I only have to put it on once a week, no problems.
Unscented. If you must smell like something,this is what I prefer.
Show of hands, how many people heard “That Man’s” voice all through this thread?
Well, me, for a start. But that’s not really a surprise, because I started with “That Man’s” voice in my head to begin with.
I must say the number of votes for unscented has got me thinking. It might be time to man up and try this Dove thing.
And you’re gonna needa horse.
