I call bullshit on Axe body scrub!
I got a free sample the other day and just used some! This shit is stupid! Sure it smells good, but after one rinses off all the lovely aroma is gone! What's the fucking point of that? If I'm supposed to pay good money for such a product I want it to make me smell like a fucking copy of GQ! I can get just as good results with from the huge pack of Zest soap as I can get from this yuppie crap! Thanks a lot you douchebags!

1. So do I!
Random women don't come up to me and want sex because I use it!

What a rip! :grr:

3. I was still hoping that might happen tomorrow
Maybe if I douse myself in Koelnwasser 4711 that will work

2. _You_ probably can't smell it, but
I bet there's a very light lingering aroma that others can smell. Call Me Wesley has some lovely stuff like that, and I like it a lot better than cologne.

P.S. Who wants to smell like glossy, inky magazine stock, anyway? :shrug:

4. Those magazines have so many cologne samples that...
reading them is an olfactory experience. If you rub a GQ on yourself, you'll smell of several colognes.

6. I haven't bought one of those magazines
since I moved to Europe, but one of my absolute pet peeves in the US was being sprayed with perfume by those sample people in department stores.:puke: Maybe they don't do that anymore, though. (I hope not; it's like a physical assault.)

9. Unfortunately they still do
I once had a woman spray me without my permission and then try to sell me the perfume as my arm got red and swelled up. Atleast most of them ask first.

11. That's _awful_.
It's like corporate chemical warfare on the allergic and unsuspecting. I own some nice perfumes, but I rarely wear them. I prefer, instead, that "just out of the shower" scent. :shrug:

5. "Light lingering aroma" Bah!
I want to smell offensively scented! As though I had just walked out of a whorehouse! But one where all the whores were men. Ummm this analogy isn't going very well, but I think you catch my drift.

7. Well if you wanna smell offensive Axe is a great start
I can't stand the stuff. Then again I'm allergic to alot of colognes and perfumes and ain't a fan of most of them.

8. In that case, here's _exactly_ what you need.
(Years ago, I bought a _beautiful_ wool, cable-knit sweater at a little head-shop in Breckenrige, CO. It smelled like patchouli oil/incense when I bought it, and after about a jillion hand-washings, it _still_ smells like patchouli oil. :scared: )

17. Patchouli smells like puke
Its only purpose is to hide the skunk-like aroma of Mary Jane. And it succeeds.

24. We had this guy in my last job who must have bathed in the stuff.
In a room with 500 full sized cubicles, you could literally smell him from anywhere in the building.

And when he walked by your desk, the patchouli smell seemed to just suck all the oxygen out of the vicinity.

I think HR ended up telling him to tone it down.

13. I had a relative who used to use that stuff.
He'd stop by for a few minutes and my entire house would stink like patchouli *forever.* It got into the upholstery and there was no way to get rid of the stink. :(

15. I think it's only supposed to smell good if you smoke a lot of weed

16. It think it has a "half-life,"
rather than a shelf-life. :rofl:

20. Yup
I can smell it on me after the shower, and so can others, apparently. There's a noticeable difference of how close people will get to you while leaning over your shoulder at work or whatnot.

19. Axe smells awful. You're better off not smelling like it, because I would
be sneezing and nauseous right now if you did. :hi:

21. Remember - your nose acclimates to odors around you
Which is why most people who have body odor do not realize they have it. As soon as the nose realizes this is a smell that will be around you, your brain starts filtering it out in order to find new smells.

Which is why so many women reek so heavily of perfume. Because they assume that since they can no longer smell the perfume then they must not be wearing any so they keep adding more.
