Re: Axe

[devon]

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.

I can deal with regular Old Spice aftershave but, I'm afraid, that's where I draw the line.

I just don't understand this whole "body spray" thing, especially as so many of them smell (to me) like "where's the dead skunk?"

As for Axe, I have no idea what scent this (40+ year old) guy wears... Phoenix something maybe? ... but oh the horror.

Maybe find someone in the office (ideally male) who will team up with you. Then you can each say something like, "Whoo! A bit extra aftershave today?" on different days. That seems like a fairly gentle way to bring his attention to it. Or get one of the guys to whisper that Old Spice might be more flattering on him because Axe is really only cool on teenagers.

Sorry you suffer, and good luck!

Thanks for the ideas but no, this isn't a colleague at work. It's an acquaintance of mine who, thankfully, now lives about 900 miles from me so I don't have to see him frequently!

Wish I could tell him Axe is only cool on teenagers but, unfortunately, there are people in his life who encourage his addiction.

Ah well... appreciate the sympathy!
