Axe is the closest thing to Turpentine that you can put on your body. I worked with a guy who was cheap. He and a few friends noticed I was wearing cologne, so they went out and bought Axe. When he first wore it, it smelled like paint remover. He then proudly tells me he spent a lot on it. How much is a LOT? A whole $5. I mentioned that the cologne I bought was $75. He didn't believe me.
Now you're wondering what is the difference between $5 Axe and $75 Cologne.
Axe is offensive. It can actually cause an allergic reaction. Or worse, it can make someone have an asthmatic reaction. Because of this, he was told to stop wearing it. Also girls would run when they whiffed him. FAST!
The higher priced cologne was made in Europe, was tested by 3 asthmatics at my job and none had a reaction. I always had tons of girls coming my way. Some would stick around for the night. Remember, the cologne only gets you in the door. The rest is up to you.
When it comes to fragrances, you almost always get what you pay for.
