Neither myself or my husband wear any type of cologne. I am Asthmatic so I avoid all strong smelling perfumes. I do have to work with a person who wears so much it is absolutely offensive. I've even told him flat out his scent is off putting. He looked at me all hurt and said but I buy the good stuff - they sell it at Walgreens! How do you argue with that?
It is pretty bad when you have to spray an odor neutralizer after a person leaves your office.
As for Axe. I don't know what the manufacturer thinks the stuff smells like, but to me, it has a strong undertone of urine.
