Has anybody tried out Adam's Axe deodorant or body spray...and did you like it. I saw a bunch of flavors, if you will, at the store and thought I'd one out. Which type/scent do you (guys or gals) like the most?

Axe is shitty cheap stuff. If you forgot to put deodorant on or are in freshmen gym class maybe you would use it, but it should never be called cologne, it smells cheap and is cheap. I wouldnt use it.

Never used it, and as far as I know I've never smelled it on anyone else, seeing as I don't go around smelling guys all day. But I've heard mostly negative opinions of it.

That shit sucks. Axe sends a hundred count box of that stuff to my frat every month or so. We just use duct tape and turn them into "axe bombs".

They work great for throwing into peoples rooms or cars.

I know myself better than any chick, and I am really NOT worthy of getting laid, but I can still try to fool them somehow. Perhaps my low self-esteem has kept from getting with chicks (some really hot chicks too) that were into me, though.

I was gifted an axe gift set at xmas from a cheap ass uncle... I scoffed, but remember... hey! ace and drew are paid to sell this stuff... so I gave it a sniff... the body spray, I'll do without, because, guys just aren't supposed to spray themselves like that... but the deodorant is very nice... "Touch" is the flavor I have, and it is delicious and has gotten me compliments by the female form on many occasion in the form of "I like your cologne".... But I keep telling them "I don't wear cologne, it's my pit deodorant, dang!"

Perhaps Axe should have named this flavor "Touche".....

Folgers,

Place a piece of tape on the side of the can with at least 6 inches of slack. then when you want to "pull the pin" just pull the tape over the lever that releases the axe and tape it down. Then toss it into someone's room, car, or my favorite: their closet.

The hardest part is making sure you dont' spray yourself when attaching the tape. Obviously some axe gets out so just point the can down.

One of my now ex-girlfriends and her mother used to like the way I smelled when I wore AXE... Just call me Junior.

They were both fucking nuts, though. Fucking co-dependent bitches. Never date anyone whose parents are nurses unless they've been in a lot of therapy... and I mean A LOT like five years plus.

She, my AXE liking ex, told me that she "graduated" from therapy after only being in it for like 5 or 6 months, and apparently towards the end she was only going once or twice a month. This was long after we had broken up but were still talking. It sucks when you have to be nice to someone but you really want to scream "LISTEN RETARD, YOU'RE AS NUTS AS THE DAY IS LONG, YOU NEED TO BE SEEING A THERAPIST WEEKLY -- AT LEAST. IF YOU THINK YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO, IT'S JUST MORE PROOF THAT YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDED!!!"

Either way, I don't talk to her anymore, because shes fucking nuts. She can keep dating Russians who used to be in the miltiary and tuck their shirts in to their underware (the guy she dated after me). They can spend all of their free time playing board games and watching movies while eating brownies and ice cream (thats all her introverted chronically depressed ass wanted to do), never leave the house except for food and work, molest animals, and be nuts together.

I'm going to go enjoy my life, and avoid crazy bitches...

So, there you go, thats how I feel about AXE.

I don't really get the attraction to the Axe smells. They don't do anything for me, but then again I'm a guy. It's probably some weird pheramone thing where it only affects girls or something. They don't smell bad to me, although some are rather less pleasant than others (my can is phoenix, apollo smelled good, and there was a third one i liked - touch maybe?).
I started wearing it after (removed at her request) told me whenever her ex used to wear it she'd be like "OMG sex!" hoping that maybe I could get her to start liking me! (/wink /wink) but alas, I got an "awkward" kiss and that was about it; now she hates me. /cry

I bought a CD and was given a free can of Axe as a promotion, then later got a can in a mass mailing, then got one in a radio station "prize package."

I dunno, they smell like any deodorant. My underarms do crazy things when I use spray deodorant, so no on that. I gave them to a 90-year-old at work.

I think everyone's problem with Axe is with its demographic, the young guys who think that if a quarter-second burst of body spray is good, a ten-second burst covering the entire torso is better. (There's a more noxious subgroup that believes the latter is also an excellent substitute for bathing.)

If people notice your scent, be it natural or artificial, from six feet away, that's too much.

It smells okay, but yeah, it's cheap, and you don't want to smell like someone's ex-bf or something. More likely to happen with a cheap widespread spray thing. Anyways, whatever. if your "other" likes it, use it.
