This stuff is too good. I picked up the new spray known as "Touch" last week, and the ladies are already picking up on the scent like a pack of rabid wolves. They seem to love it, actually, which is always a good thing. Women will tend to cling to you when you wear this beautiful product, which is something the Axe ads have always suggested, but I never thought it was true. How right they were.

Now I'm not going to dive into personal details on such events just yet, as I know there's always some whipper snapper on this board that will have to make some smart ass comment, so for now, I'll let others tell their own stories.

I guess the only problem I have with the stuff is that it costs more money than it should. I'm talkin' close to $5. But there is always a price to pay for sexiness, right?!

Kind of Off Topic, but:

1)Previously I used the scent "Tsunami," but "Touch" smells a lot better apparently.

2) The song on the "Touch" commercial (I'm sure you've seen it on TV or in the movie theatre, ugh) isn't a real song, it was just a 30 second song-clip composed for that commercial especially. Which saddens me, cuz when I heard the song, I thought it was pretty cool. O well.

I hate the ads, but I love the product. I haven't noticed ladies flocking to me, but that's cool, I've got plenty of time to wait for it to kick in.

Watching that "Touch" commercial in the theater, with reasonably intelligent people, is a freaking terrible experience.

(I don't use the spray actually, I use the deodorant, and it costs $7-8 here(

 

[pestul]

Yeah it does work.. sadly I'm an engaged man.

Lynx in the UK.

Lynx in the UK.

ah ok. Funny adverts. Not sure about the effect Girls say there's better out there than Lynx.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Lynx is like "My First Deodorant", though I suppose it might have improved.

 

[demon]

Just get some cologne. Seriously. It may cost more, but it'll be much better, and a bottle of cologne lasts a hell of a lot longer than a bottle of Axe. Hell, I can buy a full bottle of Swiss Army off the net for 20 bucks, and chicks love that stuff, and I don't smell like a cheap manwhore. Cologne lasts a lot longer too.

 

[StoOgE]

I use axe when Im going to class or work.. if Im going out at night, I throw down with some Truth by Calvin Kline. Axe is really awesome for cheap stuff.

 

[SlickWilly223]

Eh, I have cologne, but I don't like mine (Chrome) too much.

I've never bought Swiss Army before... how good is it?

 

[human5892]

I hate cologne. I think 99% of it smells like ass, and even when it doesn't, people usually dump it on themselves so that 1.) you can smell it from all the way across the damn room, and 2.) you know they're trying way too hard. Just give me a shower and some lightly-scented deodorant and I'm good to go.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Is cologne aftershave? I always though it was just a type of it, but the way people talk in this thread...my world's falling apart.

 

[MrAngryFace]

scented deoderant sux, cause then people know when youre stressing. Unscented for life!

Chrome isn't the only cologne out there; don't give up on colognes and switch to some El Cheapo shit just because you don't like Chrome. One of the great things about colognes is that there are literally hundreds out there, and some great ones that most girls have never even heard of let alone smelled. That's what you should go for...something nice smelling yet obscure.

Swiss Army is fairly popular tho, but it's a really nice smell. I'm not good at describing smells. It's kind of a soft spicy scent I suppose.

Here are two great cologne reader-review sites:
http://perfumeemporium.com/
http://www.basenotes.net/

You can buy cologne hella cheap at this site. And their shipping is incredibly fast too.

I never understood how someone could hate cologne yet not mind something like Axe. Axe smells cheaper, is more in-your-face (yet doesn't last as long), and you smell it all over the damn place. There are some really nice smelling colognes (and perfumes) out there; I guess you just haven't come into contact with any. And if someone puts too much on, that's their (and your) problem. Your not supposed to spray cologne on like you would a body spray. Just a couple light dabs or sprays to the neck and behind the ears.

Aftershave is, uhh, aftershave. Cologne is the male equivalent of perfume.

I can see how that would be a problem, but I'm a pretty calm person, and when I do get stressed out or physically exert myself, I'm not much of a sweater at all. So stuff that's lightly scented (I don't mean stronger stuff like Old Spice or whatever) works for me.

 

[human5892]

I don't like Axe, either.

That's definitely possible. Of the kind I've smelled, though, I've never really found any that I particularly liked...and the stuff I've smelled that wasn't bad still did not smell good enough for me to care about.

Cologne is basically perfume for men.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I'm always being told I smell nice with my cologne/aftershave (it's Ted Baker if anyone is interested, dunno how available it is), I've never been told I smell nice with just deodorant.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Aftershave is, uhh, aftershave. Cologne is the male equivalent of perfume.

Ermm....what do you think aftershave is then? This might be a cultural thing. Because your description of cologne is my description of aftershave.

Aftershave is just that, you slap it on your face after you shave. It's seperate from cologne, although some aftershaves are scented for, well, effect mostly.

 

[3phemeral]

I thought it was a silly idea, too, but low and behold women love the stuff. My friend's addicted to it and constantly tries to convince me to by cases of it

"I approve of this product!"

 

[Mama Smurf]

I looked it up, it's basically the same thing, only difference is in the balance of alcohol to fragrance.

 

[chocoholic]

how the hell does deodorant make women flock to you? cologne is much better

 

[Malleymal]

ALL JOKES ASIDE this is a great product, I got like 30 of these from this girl at my gym that was giving out free samples, I used it once and got compliments right away when I went out, but thats nothing new because my cologne of choice.. "INSURRECTION" is the best cologne known to man, if anyone wants to know about it, let me know..

 

[demon]

how the hell does deodorant make women flock to you? cologne is much better

Yeah, seriously. And as long as you do ANYTHING to your body to make it smell a certain way, such as using scented deodorant, you can't knock using cologne. The only difference between someone who uses a scented deodorant and someone who uses an unscented deodorant and a cologne is that the second guy smells a lot better, and for a lot longer.

This?

 

[SlickWilly223]

That good, eh? I did a search for it on the sites demon posted, and it didn't show up on them. Is it illegal here in the states or something?

"It's made from bits of real panther, so you know it's good."

But seriously, tell me all about it.

I didn't knock cologne at all, there's just too many choices, I don't know which to pick.

Everybody says their cologne is the best. It really depends on how you like it, how it reacts with your body chemistry, and how the women that happan to smell you while you're wearing it like it.

 

[SlickWilly223]

Hey is anyone elses ads on the bottom of this thread selling Axe body spray too?

 

[demon]

What ads?

 

[The Shadow]

I thought I'd never, ever consider using axe body spray but I have to admit, you guys are really selling it to me.

 

[Fifty]

Well if writing those three words gets him to A) Write a lot about it or B) Mail me some, then I've done my job.

 

[Socreges]

Only girlie men wear cologne or "spray".

I'm perfectly fine with my own pungent musk, thank you.

 

[etiolate]

Yeah, part of perfume/cologne is chemical reaction with your body. Not everything works for everyone. I use Pi by Gichenchy , as wood scents work well with me and women really like it. I tend to avoid axe and overly popular colognes due to people overusing and overexposing it. I get that sleezy mall shark vibe when I smell it strongly everywhere.

 

[StoOgE]

Hey is anyone elses ads on the bottom of this thread selling Axe body spray too?

yeah, the site has google smart ads.. its creepy, but most threads will have related ads.

 

[BlackMage]

I've never had any problems getting women without cologne. I had this one girlfriend who LOVES the smell of Old Spice Red Zone. That's what I use!

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I'd hate to smell like other people tho. Walking by someone that smells just like you is weird. Pharamones don't make that much of a difference.

I've paid a fortune in cologne already. I'll stick to that for now.

Is there an Axe anitperspirant/deodorant?

 

[Fifty]

Is there an Axe anitperspirant/deodorant?

Yep, and I mentioned it in the second post. It kicks ass.

 

[Ripclawe]

Yeah it does work.. sadly I'm an engaged man.

Its not the Axe, its because you are taken!

 

[shuri]

I recommend Swiss Army

LoL... was going to say the same thing.

 

[3phemeral]

I thought you were gay? *wink*

Anyway, I never thought I'd give into the whole axe body spray either -- but man, it's tempting. Especially when my friend jokes "oh man Adam, if you put that on I'd so sleep with you"

haha, I know she's just playing, but still -- a lot of girls really like it. I haven't collapsed on bought it just yet, but I'm so close to just giving into the urge

 

[demon]

Yup. Like I said, that stuff rocks.

Cute? She's fuckin fuckably hot.

 

[teiresias]

I don't know, Axe and cologne are like two sides of the same coin to me. I wear cologne when I'm going out or have an important meeting, interview, or something similar. But for a normal workday or everyday activity I'd rather just spray on some Axe instead of using cologne.

As for the scents one likes, I used to like Curve for a cologne, but I've since grown out of it and it really just annoys me now, I need to find something else. I like polo sport, but maybe I'll give Swiss Army a spritz when I'm in a store next time to see if it works for me - I'm horrible about finding cologne that works for me.

As for Axe, I picked up some Touch the other day (two actually since it was on sale at the drug store). Anyway, I like it, but I still prefer the more mellow and "clean" scent of Phoenix. Touch seems almost too musky to me, but it's not like Axe is a major investment so the Touch will work until it's gone and I can pick up some more Phoenix on my next pickup.

Who is that girl, and is she in porn?

Yeah it is that good... ladies really, really like it...I sprayed a little on my nephew before he went back home and all of his friends and family, and his father(my brother) called me begging for me to order some for them next time i make an order, which, I will be doing tonight... and the case for it is out of this world

I'm guessing it's musky, because the girls I like go for the musk.
