  5. Wait, spraying myself with an entire can of axe not going to get me hot chicks in bikini? Does the commercial lie to me?

  7. Because I’m drowning in pussy I can’t be walking around smellin like a mackerel and it’s not my fault if axe smells like how limp bizkit sounds just bc im constantly in a gut bucket doesn’t mean I gotta smell like one

  10. I’m 20, and it’s because I have 6 years worth of Christmas axe body sets I’m trying to get through.

    Want me to stop? Tell my female relatives to stop buying me axe Africa sets for Christmas.

  12. What kind of deodorant should adult men be wearing? I don’t personally wear axe anymore (stopped in like junior year of hs lmao) but wondering what others prefer now. Anything containing aluminum is generally bad right?

  13. Why bother taking a shower when I can just spend a fraction of the time covering up the stink?

  15. I remember my first semester of college in 2004, they were on campus handing out big sample bottles all over the place. I probably still have some of them in a bag somewhere.

    Got some people hooked for life I guess.

  16. Its the favorit body spray of my dad, he used a lot everytime, in my opinion to much. I told him he stinks and all he said was “I have always a lot of space in the subway, I see this as a win”. After he passed away I start to use it to so the answear is… I like a lot of space in the subway.

    Axe Alaska! The smell for Man that want to attract girls with daddy issues! Buy it now, 10 cans for 10 cents

  17. I bought some a while back because our local had run out of my normal brand. My wife really liked it and laughed at herself for having the tastes of a teenager. I’ve bough like two more cans since then.

  19. Hi,

    29 here.

    Never liked axe body spray and hated getting it for Christmas, but I’d never assume someone’s life is wrong because they like… a certain body spray? Is there an age cut off for this, or is this one of those questions meant to be insulting while sounding somewhat humorous?

  20. When I used Axe body spray some 20 years ago. I literally had a girl stop mid sentence talking, lean in and start sniffing. Her eyes widened and said “you smell really good.”

    The commercials are real!

  22. I can’t believe I just bought a new cologne (Invictus) as a lass at work recommended it to me…

    And it smells just like fucking Axe body spray to me 🤣

  24. Tsunami and Phoenix were my go to in high school. I couldn’t afford cologne so I used that in addition to deodorant to make sure I didn’t smell. I’d only spray my chest and make sure not to overdo it (Do not spray your clothes!). In my early twenties I still used axe on my chest but I upgraded to cologne on my wrists (Burberry Brit for Men). I stopped using Axe body spray when I was 23 because it finally dawned on me that I wasn’t a teenager anymore lol. What’s even more hilarious is my partner of 10 and a half years really enjoyed my Axe body spray when we first began hooking up. Thank you Axe body spray for helping me tame my musk.

  26. Don’t know what axe body spray is, I spray myself with wd40, it’s the manliest deodorant

  28. Lol, I use it but try not to use too much. I get complimented from girls that I smell good often enough. I think most people don’t use anything so even ax works in comparison

  30. Well I got to kiss on some lady’s neck meat one night at the club and she chose me, because I had that alpha stink on me. Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinions of sheep. You know what’s a stinky cologne??? Jealousy. I have sex!

  31. Lynx Africa was my absolute favourite growing up. It’s so weird but while everyone talks about how horrible it was being in the changing rooms with everyone spraying lynx Africa. I loved the smell so it is a good memory for me!

    But I stopped using lynx Africa because I’m just too naturally smelly in the armpits. It’s not powerful enough! I need an icey 48 hour perspirant to keep the pits at bay.

    Weirdly enough my FIL a kind, gentle, bird watching, finer things in life kind of man always used lynx Africa. He just liked the smell. When he died I remember packing up his things in the hospice and putting his lynx Africa away in his suitcase last. Now it brings me sadness when I see it in the shops.

    There’s a lot of snobbery around lynx Africa. But there’s a reason it’s the most popular deodorant on the planet and we all know it. A lot of people think it smells nice. I think a lot of us have negative experiences associated with it, for one boys overusing it. But also for me the P.E changing rooms were the place where I was most likely to get bullied or feel uneasy (developed late so trying to hide being the last boy with pubes wasn’t great fun). I wonder if a few of us associate lynx with the smell of being bullied. Like Pavlovian and all that.

  36. I only know one person who still uses way too much axe, but he also hooks up with women a lot so I’m not convinced it’s necessarily a bad thing

  37. They’re getting revenge against every old(er) woman relative who has taken a bath in their perfume of choice before going up to them and saying “Give your {older female relative} a hug/kiss.” all the while the kid is trying not to pass out from the toxic cloud emanating from said relative.

  38. [Axe made an ad which I think highlighted positive masculinity instead of toxic masculinity](https://youtu.be/dM5Bd2AhFGQ?si=9GplhuaoQF-lnfa5), so it got me interested into the brand. I like the scent enough, and I’m the kind of person who’s fine sticking with one product (or food or whatever) indefinitely, so I have kept buying the same scent.
