One of the Axe scents is basically like Old Spice, and I happen to like both. However, too much of either can be deadly. I think that teen boys are overwhelmed by advice to stop the wretched stench that comes from their armpits that they overdo it. A small amt of Axe on an older guy (still very young to me, but maybe late 20's) usually smells like traditional but inexpensive/not-fancy aftershave to me.
