Female repellent!

Seriously, I've seen the kids in my family walk out of a cloud of that crap, a split second spritz makes you reek of tire store and crackers, and yet they think it'l help them meet girls.

No matter the scent, there's always a learning curve on judicious use.

The Axe crap may throw a new wrinkled nose into this, though...

And if a little was good, more was better!

But it wasn't long before I met people with allergies who had a really hard time with that stuff and I gave it all up.

Especially good when you briefly saute baby spinach leaves in drippings, then remove to a garlicky bowl and add your tomato and onion.

Not sure I'd recommend it for a body spray, though...

reserve cabinet.

I told him I'm interested in the deodorant effect, not too concerned about the scent.
Actually they're in storage as stocking stuffers, but I, female. have been known to use the Gillette in a pinch.

I'm a woman but I like the way British Sterling smells on me, even though it's a cheap men's cologne. I have to be careful with fragrances because my hair is reddish and they can change on me. If I'm going to wear "feminine" fragrances, it's always light, subtle florals like gardenia or lavender, and I don't see any reason men couldn't wear those, too. Especially lavender -- it just smells like soap, and a guy probably can't go wrong wearing a scent that says, "I've used soap recently!"
