Hey,

I saw that at the grocery store yesterday. It didn\'t smell so good IMO. And if it has any pheros, it probably has a low concentration. Anyone else have any details on this new stuff?

Do a search - I remember reading a conversation about this not long ago.

[Xehupatl]

oh man .. AXE .... or LYNX in other countries I think.
This stuff has been around for some time, you can get it in frickkin supermarket, for god\'s sake. This is cheap half-assed stuff, and of course there are NO PHEROS!! Just because the commercial is showing a male model being besieged by women with the stuff on you think it\'s about pheromones?? Remember SEX SELLS ???
Sure good for you if you like it, buy it - I wouldn\'t.

Did you read that crap that Axe has on their website? They so want to portray their product as a love-scent wannabe product. They have little mini-movies of extreme \"AXE\" effect incidents. A highschool football game, dude runs with the ball with a clear path to the endzone, on his way he passes a sideline of cheerleaders and one of the cheerleaders tackles him and gets him on the ground.

Their whole marketing image is based on what pheros supposedly do. Just think of it this way if you think it has pheros...what is the cheapest phero product you have found besides gel packs and wipes? Probably the SPMO and it\'s almost twice as much as the deodorant. If they put pheros in there, they sure don\'t plan on profiting from it. I know -nol is pretty cheap but I guarantee that this stuff has no -nol effect to it and it definately is too cheap to have -none.

I\'m not trying to plug the site but look at this crap

[**DONOTDELETE**]

My theory on deodorant is that they are used to cover or inhibit your own natural body odour, wouldn\'t covering your pheros with deodorants actually reduce there effectiveness?

[Lee]

If deodorant covers your natural body odor, doesn\'t cologne do the same thing? These phero products are cologne so in a sense you are suggesting that any scented phero product would be reducing its own effectiveness with the smell?

I do agree though that any scented product, even lotion covers up your own natural smell, but does that mean that if I spray on some edge and spray on some CK to cover, I\'m reducing its effectiveness? I\'m thinking no but then again I don\'t know the difference between cologne and spray-on deodorant, not anti-persperant.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

In archive 2 around about page 9? i think. theres a post discussing commercial deodorants/soaps, it says they incorporates chemicals to disperse natural b.o, therefore pheros as well. reducing effectiveness.
i think colognes are not the same as deodorants/antipersperants, but i\'m not an expert.
I\'m just thinking logically about what deodorants and colognes are use for, smell suppresent and smell enhancer respectively.

[CptKipling]

Deoderants kill pheros, as far as I\'m concerned.

BAD BAD BAD, pure marketing.

[chummym]

heh....i never said there were phero\'s in it. but i really like the smell of it. i was just suggesting it as a cover scent for use with like NPA or stuff like that. its only like $4.00 for a 4 oz aerosol bottle and they sell it everywhere. ummmm ok thats enough out of me. i know its cheap and easy to get but seriously try it out /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif you might like it

[CptKipling]

Yes but you cant use it as a cover.

<hr></blockquote>Nothing to kill. Pheros aren\'t alive.

Deodorants suppress bacteria that turns pheros into different things, and they don\'t do such a hot job at that. I rub that Thai stick under my pits before I do the pit trick, and it still gets real interesting under there.

Deodorants do indeed suppress the production of our natural pheros - but we\'re so totally swamping that with what we\'re wearing that I can\'t imagine it\'s going to make much difference.

I use body sprays as cover all the time. Only thing to do with Axe is try it. It may work for you, it may not. I personally didn\'t like the smell of the one I opened and sniffed, smelled cheap and chemical. But there\'s no telling what it will smell like on you until you put it on. And then, if it doesn\'t smell good to you, chances are, it doens\'t to anyone else, either.

&lt;scratches head&gt; Thanks for that BassMan, I had that one down already.

I don\'t really know the difference between deoderants and anti-perspirants. Can anyone enlighten me?

In my experience, the reactions decreased when I used sprays. The only time I used them was just in my pits on occasions in the summer when I was going out and it was hot, but never as a cover.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Deodorants just deodorize - they keep your sweat from stinking.

Antiperspirants block you from sweating, period. Or, as nearly as possible. Antiperspirants you buy over the counter also contain deodorant, so if you do sweat through them, you won\'t stink. I\'ve read you can buy prescription antiperspirants that for sure will keep you from sweating -- some people have a real problem with it.

There\'s some controversy over whether it\'s healthy to block any of your sweat glands, and about whether aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex, the activie ingredient or some slight variation thereof, is good for you.

However, for some people, it\'s that or walk around with sweat stains under their arms.

<hr></blockquote>Sorry \'bout that. I wasn\'t trying to be patronizing - we actually _had_ that discussion on the forum some time ago - about EtOH killing pheros. I just figured it was worth repeating.

[CptKipling]

I suppose I was using \"killing\" in a slightly colloquial way, could put ideas in newbies heads so well worth while.

[krtel]

Well, I bought some of the stuff today, specifically \"Kilo\" because I LOVED the scent. I think I can use it to boost up my pheromone results.

It won\'t kill the pheromones as long as I don\'t spray over the area where I applied them, correct?

- Krish

[marv14yag]

According to Men\'s Health, they did a survey with 500 women, and it seems as though Tsunami is the highest preferred smell....

What that means?

If you\'re going to get a 5$ Axe Deodarnt spray get the Tsunami I suppose...

I have smelled it... It smells good, but, it\'s not like cologne, more like air freshner...Smells good, but, that\'s it..

Bart

[krtel]

I tried that scent and didn\'t like it as much as I liked Kilo. It smells hella good and the scent is something that populates the whole room. I\'d image this should make my pheromones more useful.

- Krish

[MAJORSOB]

Just a note ..every time i see axe in a store the one thats sold out is phoenix

[marv14yag]

Yeah, but a lot of time, what a MAN thinks smells good is not what a woman preferrs.

And A L S O, what they think SMELLS good isn\'t what they would like to smell on a GUY!

Anyway, sh**, they are ALLL f*** sold out! Except for 3 of them.

5 bucks, and deodorant, sh** all I do is sweat, and for 5$ it would save me a sh** load of cash

Bart

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I\'m usually a lurker here. I saw the AXE site and I agree, the damn thing is hokey, but...

I decided to pick one up and just try it. What the heck right?

Well... I\'m adding this bad mamma jamma to my arsenal!

I applied my usual packet of SOE and smoothed a couple of generous dabs of APC over it to my chest, neck and shoulders. After thinking about what others have mentioned about deodorants interfering with pheromone effectiveness, I decided to spray the AXE on my clothes instead, just for the cover scent.

Now, I\'m used to getting subtle hits from my SOE&amp;APC/m combo, I was unprepared for the hits I got today.

The spray stuff DOES smell good IMO and I sincerely doubt the thing has any pheromones of any kind, but I can\'t ignore the results. Whether it was just the nice scent that got the ladies closer in to get a second whiff and get a dose of the pheros I WAS wearing, I don\'t know, but I got rather non-subtle hits today. No joke.

I was wearing Voodoo. Man! I had two DIHLs upon arriving to work. I caught them staring and one of them literally shook her head to clear herself and said, \"I\'m sorry, what?\" She totally missed that I was asking her if I got any mail this morning. The other recognized what I was wearing (Axe) and asked me what \"flavor\" it was and jokingly asked to smell my armpits. She says she loves when her boyfriend wears Phoenix and Apollo.

Third hit of the day, I was complimenting another co-worker about her new hair color. She immediately responded by taking her hair down and started flipping it for me so I could see \"the light shine on it\" (so she said).

Fourth hit of the day, I was joking with a few other female co-workers (I work with about 29 of them) and she happened to grab my arm while laughing. She said, \"ooh! biceps!\" and started lifting my sleeves and started encouraging the other three females to come feel my biceps. I felt like a piece of meat.

Fifth hit of the day, chicks really seem to dig the smell. Another co-worker and I were talking and I was \"pretend scolding\" her for some errors I found on her report. She laughed and said she couldn\'t believe she had made such goofy errors on her work. As I pretended to scold her, I was shaking a finger at her in a \"tsk tsk\" kind of way and she grabbed it! Held on a little too long, seemed to go into DIHL mode and then continued to laugh while still holding my finger. She didn\'t let go until I asked, \"Can I have my finger back?\"

I don\'t know what it was, but I really got hit on today and I wasn\'t acting any different than I usually am at work. I\'ve gotten the subtle hits before in my office while wearing pheros, but not like this. I may have to tone it down a bit, as a male co-worker reminded me we are living in the age of sexual harassment lawsuits in the workplace. /ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif

Has anyone else got hits like these while wearing AXE with their favorite phero? I\'m gonna try some of the other \"flavors\" as that girl put it and see what else happens.


Chris

P. S. - And yes, the damn things seem to sell out quickly! I went back to my local supermarket to buy another can of this stuff and they only had Kilo left. /ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif So I bought the Kilo scent. It still smells nice though.

It seems Phoenix, Orion, Apollo, Tsunami are the best sellers. At least in the stores here, Kilo and Voodoo seem to be the ones that are left over.

[bundyburger]

It\'s sold as Lynx here in Australia. Been usng it for the past year. Ex-girlfriend recommended it. She absolutley luuuuurves the scent. Another friend (female) also likes it. There are a range of scents of course. So if you don\'t like one try the other.
I\'ve been worried about a clash with my cologne. But it doesn\'t seem to. The one I\'ve been using (voodoo) is strong.

[TBiRD]

Animus !!!!!!!!!! You are one happy camper /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif
I think you found the perfect mones/coverscent combination for guaranteed killer-hits. Dude stick to it /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif
Isn\'t this what everybody here is striving to achieve ???
You made it , congratz !

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Okay, an update.

I tried the Kilo \"flavor\" today with the same application of pheros. No reactions, no compliments on the scent, although the girls who were flirting with me when I had on Voodoo still smiled and stuff, but weren\'t aggressive like they were earlier.

No wonder Kilo seems to be the one that gets left behind on the shelves. *LOL* I\'m going back to my Voodoo!

By the way, I think I saw it in another thread someone mentioned that they think they smell a none undertone to the Axe scents. Come to think of it now that someone\'s mentioned it, I let loose a few test sprays of Phoenix and Apollo versions in the supermarket and thought something vaguely smelled familiar. I came home and sniffed my bottle of APC and sniffed my Axe Voodoo. They smelled similar. I can\'t believe I didn\'t realize it before. Someone else try it out, so I\'ll know I\'m not just ODing on my pheros and hallucinating.

[franki]

It is almost impossible that $6 deodorants contain a-none.

Franki

[bundyburger]

Yeah, that was me. Since I\'ve been aware of the -anone smell I\'ve been getting this really quick sense of the same scent when I spray on my Voodoo too. But It dissapears straight away. It\'s like my brains associating a component of the Voodoo scent with that -none smell. In my head I came up with a stupid theory that Lynx/Axe is designed to cover most of the BO but maybe not hurt the body\'s natural -mones???

...Dunno just a thought I had for a split second.

Cheers

[jose]

One of my favorite AXE products is KILO it\'s a good carrier scent for AE, I\'ve had some looks and comments about it from some women.

[bivonic]

Voodoo was sold out at the first two places I went so I figured it\'s gotta be the best of breed, went to a third place &amp; they were stocked so I picked up two for $5 each.

Do you apply to your clothing or under pits like regular deoderant? I use an antiperspirant to avoid the wetty pits, will it still be effective for me?

[Watcher]

I like the vodoo as well smells quite good to.

[bundyburger]

I just use it normally as a deoderant. I don\'t think it has strong anti-perspirent value. But I don\'t have a bad sweat problem except on very warm days. I have a non-scented anti-perspirant roll on that\'s usually near by for extreme situations.

Wasn\'t out to get reactions with Lynx. I just needed more deoderant et the time and I remembered my girlfriend saying she liked that one.

Someone mentioned spraying it over their clothes. I mean why not. Might try using it in relation to pheros too.
BTW I also have the newer Dimension version that was given to me in a Gift pack for Xmas (With a body shower gel). Nice scent to it too. Though besides my own sister I haven\'t asked what anyone thinks of it. Won\'t use it until my Voodoo runs out.

[Watcher]

I find it complements and also reduces some of the stinker phero products like The edge etc. Anti perspirant wise i agree totally useless. The thing with the Phero products is the spray ones are designed to be also sprayed on natural fibres like cotton shirts they soak it up and give it off for days on end (andro 4.2 is active on clothes 7 days later even with regular washing)

[bsxs]

Yo I have a game plan.
I have VooDoo AXE. Where would I spray it?
The best mix of pheros for me is PI/m, NPA and SoE. Would it be too many scents and result in an overdose if I were to put on Axe?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I said they smelled similar IMO, NOT claiming it contained a-none.

Just to clarify /ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I spray Axe on my clothing after I apply the pheros to my skin.

I\'m gonna try experimenting with an atomizer and applying the Axe spray to my skin and applying the pheros to my clothing instead. *LOL*

Gave my brother the Kilo and went back to my Voodoo and poof! I became the office topic again although I\'m beginning to think they\'re more turned on by the damn smell than me. *LOL* I got tickled several times today by different female co-workers, one made a lewd comment about showing up at my house naked with a sprig of parsley in the crack of her ass. It was hilarious!

AND DON\'T LAUGH BUT...

I got a hit from a guy this afternoon. I think he was gay. I was talking to one of my female co-workers when she leaned closer and whispers, \"I think you have another admirer...\" I nonchalantly look about while talking to her and look over to where she was hinting at and there\'s this guy sitting there exhibiting what looks a hell of a lot like DIHL with a goofy grin on his face staring at me. I turn, we make eye contact and he waves at me, so I kind of wave back just to be nice. The dude starts laughing, turns red and then walks away quickly. I think he was embarrassed. ROFL, the girl I had been talking to feigns jealousy and says, \"I can take him.\" while rolling up her sleeves. I couldn\'t stop laughing!

Just curious, do gay guys respond to male pheromones like women do? It really looked like it today. I hope I don\'t offend anyone. It isn\'t my intention.

[Watcher]

They respond to guys with the following phero type signature
Low Arone levels
High Anol levels with a slightly less Anone (typical breakdown of Attraction for one) not SOE because it has Arone in it.

Arone is also amoung other things signal the degree of hetrosexuality in a male therefore a male with high Arone levels is seen as straight whilst someone with low levels is seen by others as gay, although they person in question may not be.

Homosexuality is seen as someone who has their pheromone smelling hardwiring (brain wiring screwed up so they respond to the same sex pheromones instead of the opposite sex) only applies to men, with gay women james kohl might be able to be explain this.

[mokes]

Also, with bundyburger\'s idea that Lynx/Axe doesn\'t harm the bodys pheros--that may be very well possible. Notice how in the ingrediants in Axe don\'t include MEA-BORATE, MIPA-BORATE, and or Triclosan. I might be way off on this if it\'s really the isopropyl that harms pheromones.

[mokes]

Agh.. Double post. /ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif

[Watcher]

Spot on thats why its ok to use as a cover scent also.

[krtel]

I bought voodoo today. Lets see how it works w/ pheros.

- Krish

[marv14yag]

Gay gays are attracted to none that is the male pheromne....OTHERR than rone, but rone sygnals straitness, or whatever it\'s called

It WOULDN\'T be nol! Nol is more feminine than anything else....

It\'s none....

I got a hit from a GAY dude, I\'m not gay, but I\'m just walking and some gay dude makes some comment \"about\" me... One of my friends behind me was laughing and he was like,,,,that dude just said, such and such....

Anyway....

Dudes, the reason AXE works is because, axe goes on like a mist first of all, which will make you smell good, but it only goes on the top of the skin, etc...Mixing wth sweat, etc, but not OVERPOWERING it, ie it\'s less strong but farther away...

But MOST OF ALL, it works because you can use it as deodorant...Most people use anti-perspirant which blocks the pheromones!

But, that\'s another thing though, I mean I used none on the poits without deodorant STRAITttttttttttttttt FROM THE kit none....like 2 drops each....And like I\'ve been saying, you can use all the PHEROMONES you want, but if a girl doesn\'t see you that way, etc than it won\'t matter.

Bart

[Wolfe]

2 drops CS -none to each pit??

[jebner]

i got axe africa body spray. tried it in combination with 2 small dabs of NPA. the spray seems to cover NPA quite well. nevertheless, i just got some minor results (touchy reactions). maybe not enough NPA!?

j.ebner

[krtel]

Wait, you COVERED Npa with AXE?

- Krish

[Wolfe]

i use le male to \'cover\' my TE sometimes but that doesnt mean i spray it on my TE

[jebner]

krish,

no not covered, just 2 dabs on my shirt and then sprayed AXE to the same area. the axe scent seems to blend well with the npa.
