Product Review of Axe Deodorant Bodyspray

Axe Bodyspray is pushing its new campaign, "now with added Bom-Chicka-WahWah", and is continuing its image; the best smell grabs the attention of the most ladies. A bottle of Axe states that the bodyspray "is the all-over bodyspray with long-lasting fragrance and effective deodorant protection designed to seduce the ladies. If you spray it, they will come". Some pretty enticing claims, no? I've been using Axe for years, and have found it to be a great smell with a decent amount of deodorant protection.

The Good

Axe is incredibly convenient to say the least. The newest version of the bottle of Axe features a twist top. The new top manages to eliminate any "accidental spraying", the only major complaint I'd ever had about Axe. Because of this new feature, the bottle can be easily thrown, without care, into a gym bag to offer the best fragrance option for those who are active. Personally, I did not bring cologne to the gym for fear of breaking the bottle. The metal of the Axe bottle prevents this problem as well.

The multiple fragrances of Axe are a major selling point. The smell that each scent of Axe presents is strong but not over powering, and offers a great alternative to cologne. Each scent is unique, making it easy to have multiple favorites. Many compliments I've received fall into the "what are you wearing?" category; any four and a half dollar bottle that causes similar reactions to cologne is impressive. I can thank the smell of "Essence" for saving me the 50-60 dollars that I would usually spend on cologne.

The Not So Good

The only complaint I have with Axe Deodorant Bodyspray centers around its actual deodorant properties. While the spray deodorant is useful for a day full of relaxation, I've found that it's odor eliminating properties struggle with anything more than simple daily activities (exercise, warm/hot/humid days). The smell of the product still lingers, but body odors come into the mix when Axe is the only deodorant used to produce an uneasy aroma. Axe does offer stick deodorant, however, and I have found that using a mix of both products offers constant body odor protection without overbearing the senses.

Because I see Axe Bodyspray as more of a cheap cologne than a deodorant, this small issue has failed to put a dent in my trust and brand loyalty with the product. For the incredibly cheap price, Axe Deodorant Bodyspray offers an impressive line-up of great fragrances that, above all else, bring on a multitude of compliments from the ladies, just as the company states. With a low price (that pleases guys, and parents of young men alike) and a quality product, Axe is a top notch body spray that I would easily recommend for all.
