Axe Body Spray

[echoshifting]

Axe on the daily in high school but for special occasions I had A&F Woods cologne. I had a couple threadbare flannel shirts that were so completely saturated with Woods I never washed them.

Nowadays I harshly judge anyone I encounter who is clearly wearing Axe.

I used to in middle school. Then went to Curve lol.

Been rocking this for 10+ years now, but a whole lot less since the Pandemic.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Axe always had this putrid sweetness to it that only got stronger the more you applied

 

[MontlyCure]

I keep a can around to spray on my hands if I don't feel like washing them after using the bathroom but besides that I stopped using it in middle school.

Negatory, some deodorant and decent cologne.

Nah go old school and get English Leather.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

When I was in high school I had a friend that would skip showers and coat himself in this instead.

It didn't work lol.

 

[inner-G]

I still use it, but just in my car. It's great for covering the smell of smoke when I am running in a store or something, and it's cheap to just keep one around.

lol, I've "sanitized" my hands with it too, it's mostly alcohol, it's flammable.

Though you know if you touch the can after the bathroom but before you sprayed it, then the next time you touch the can it's like touching your wiener, right?

 

[Deleted member 2145]

in middle school yeah, phoenix mostly with some kilo to mix it up

weird times for sure lol

 

[nihilence]

Used to, forgotten the names.

I just remember getting in trouble because the "special smell" have dad's wife headache.

 

[Siresly]

The only "deodorant" I knew of for that period of my life. Us kids were into smelling like an axe those days.
Regardless of the alleged scent of the ones I tried, they all just seemed to have the same headache-inducing stank of assorted chemicals.
The best part is when you'd spray them on yourself after you were already a stinko. That combined scent was something special.

I was an Africa boy.

 

[lake]

Nope.

I have this skin condition, I have to buy this one:

Yo this shit's actually great. I made my own deodorant for some years (milk of magnesia, water, scented oil) but this commercial one seems to have OK enough ingredients, works wonderfully, and the scented varieties actually smell great. I am usually the last person to ever endorse artificial body scents but over this last year in lockdown I've come around to a few of these, at least. Currently appreciating Juniper Berry.

I never understood "body spray". Is it somehow different than cologne? I'm 42, I just always wore a single spray of cologne on my chest. Not overpowering and is more prominent when your body temp rises.

Do you apply body spray in an X across your chest? Or does it go under your arms? Everywhere? Nowhere? Why do I need an aresol can of smell? Is it used instead of bathing? Does the can include directions for use?

Yeah, they're different. Body sprays are a lighter, wisp of a scent.

Thanks to Axe/Lynx created by Unilever, men's body sprays are also designed to deodorize and cover up stench. They are very minimally effective.

I used these in high school, but not super regularly.

One of my buddies drove a somewhat functional '71 Super Beetle. I didn't have a car and he lived walking distance from my house, so we hung out a lot. Coming out of that car, we'd smell like exhaust/smoke, so he kept some in his car (green scent, idr the name) and I kept the blue scent (idr the name) in my backpack.

We also both worked at the movie theater and would use some after that to get rid of the buttered popcorn smell. Even after I started working as a projectionist, I'd still smell like popcorn so I would still use it.

It didn't really help me smell any better.

 

[Mahonay]

I definitely used it in high school/my very early 20s.

[daveo42]

I used it into my mid 20s after it came out. Most of the shit stank. Most of what I use now have more muted scents.

 

[Virtua Sanus]

So many kids I knew growing up straight up thought dousing yourself in this was the equivalent of a shower.

I moved on from it for most of my life but I got a bunch of their products as a gift awhile back and use them from time to time in a pinch. I actually really enjoyed their shampoo.

 

[EraldoCoil]

Never used axe but if for some reason I forgot to put on deodorant in high school someone usually always had an axe can to use in the clutch lol

 

[Shackleton]

Nope.

[Dr Doom]

i still use it.

it's cheap and I just throw it to my back back

 

[Keywork]

Definitely used it, I'm pretty sure I rocked Phoenix, during my first year in college in 2003. It was an emergency go to that I used when I woke up too late to shower and properly get ready for the day before heading out to class. Oh, if I could go back in time I would teach my 18 year old self so many things for a proper morning routine.

 

[Tom Nook]

The ads are so stupid, thinking you can get laid with this stuff. Lol.

Does it work?

Click to shrink...

For me it does. If I were to use axe body spray, cologne, or any of the deodorants with artificial ingredients and fragrances, I would get this awful rash and get itchy for hours. With this stuff, I don't get them.

 

[skeptem]

I remember a girl on HS telling me she liked the smell of axe Kilo. So I started wearing that every damn day.

I stopped before college and just used deodorant and cologne.

The smell of a US Navy frigate getting ready for liberty

[EternalDarko]

No offence meant to those that still use it, but even when I was in high back in the late 90's i thought these smelt cheap and nasty.

 

[C.Mongler]

I didn't personally use it but I was in a boys locker room during the mid-to-late 2000s so I probably was contact using it if we're being honest.

 

[hydro94530]

I still use it. Phoenix to be exact.

 

[BolognaOni]

Early 2000's in college had several friends that worked at a LAN center. Axe brought by a bunch of free samples, along with posters that featured adds with a good looking women and captions like "Don't worry honey, I'll get dinner, I know how expensive video games are".

Anyway, it all smelled so nasty, most of it just got tossed. Several cans were saved though, and for a while spraying people with it whenever they got too absorbed into whatever game they were playing was kind of a thing. I do recall "getting axed" once or twice, probably in the middle of what otherwise would have been an epic Tribes 2 flag cap.
