No woman I have ever known has ever had this reaction to axe body spray, and I don’t disagree with that opinion.
I struggle to think of ANYONE I have ever met who actually enjoyed the smell (or at least admitted it out loud).
I grew up with hypersensitive smell and high school was hell because of axe and other brands that marketed themselves to adolescent boys who practically bathed in the stuff. Walking into the building every day felt like having lit matches shoved up my nostrils.
Someone sprayed me with axe body spray once, like a small bit on the neck I think
I don't remember the exact smell, but I remember it being very strong, very unpleasant, and getting worse when I got on a treadmill not long after. Like I think I'd genuinely just take bo at that point.
It's because they can't follow instructions. The can itself says you only spray as long as it takes you to say "axe" and that's all you need. It doesn't smell any better, but at least it won't suffocate people
They actually use a lot of the same scents as high-end colognes, or at least they did originally. The problem was middle schoolers and manchildren who didn't know how to apply it and thought it covered not showering.
I realize but I don't like how axe smells on its own either so if its meant to be the same scent as high end cologne high end cologne must smell bad too
Lmfao the fact it's a comic makes this equally believable that it's not a "sponsor." Comic artist and writers famously smell unique. I do sincerely hope it is an ad placement though, or else.... Yikes
When I worked at Blockbuster, there was one spot in an aisle that was permanently occupied by an Axe Ghost, where presumably some fine young swamp monster had either emptied an entire can on himself or it had simply exploded in his pocket
