Are all these "girl attractant" deoderants, and sprays (like Ax), the ultimate myth?

Ax and several similar sprays give me a migraine. Not all cologne has this effect, but heavily artificial scents tend to do the trick.

For the most part the clean soap and shampoo smell of a man is good. Although to be honest there have been a few times where the smell of a man who has worked all day has turned me on, but that was only happened with two guys I dated.

I wear Axe occasionally, but only because I like the way it smells. My gf wears a certain perfume or lotion sometimes, that she knows I absolutely love, and cant keep me hands off of her when she does. I think it is just finding that particular scent that complitments your body and that you partner finds attractive. Every one has a different preference but most of us like to smell good for our partners.

I don't know but they make me gag personally.

I'm a super-smeller teacher with a severe allergy to lavender and it's active components, lavandin and linalool. Guess what some of the components of AXE are?

Every time a student walks in to class wearing AXE, I risk a major allergic reaction. I think it smells like yak piss anyway.

If a guy puts too much body spray on, it is unattractive to me. An ex of mine used Axe, but he didn't go hog wild with it, so it smelled fine. I don't think the smell of Axe alone would make me attracted to a person. A good-smelling body won't do anything for a person with a bad personality.

Too funny.

That's totally understandable and valid!

I just loved this post, but in reading "between the lines" I suspect you would "enjoy smelling her" and "jumping her bones" even without the Axe!!!

Wow. Do the makers of the stuff read the EF Forums, I wonder?

Pheromones do play a small roll in human relations. It is one reason woman's menstrual cycles sych up when living together. However, I don't think these store bought body scents have any real pheromone or science behind them at all.
