    Wow! Looks promising! When the big ones start with these scents it can only mean one thing! We will see an increasing interest in "Classic" brands with these scents.

    Bergamott... mmmm... I LOVE bergamott... been secretly stealing SWMBO's bergamot skin lotion ;)

    Nothing screams sophistication like a hip looking can for $4.99 :rolleyes:

    I do agree with you mike, but maybe this could be the cross over to a new market. Hopefully it could inspire someone to look a little further into these unique fragrances...that is assuming the fragrances are what we would expect bergamot, amber, and vetiver to smell like.

    I can only second that :)

    Axe still is the brand for young kids below the age of 10. Or could you imagine being with a woman liking your Axe-perfume, asking what brand you were wearing? I'd rather wanna respond "Floris" or "Penhaligon's", but I definitely don't wanna have to answer "Axe" ;)

    I don't know about hip-factor versus sophistication, but I can certainly appreciate some of the Axe scents, just as I don't like a few of the "sophisticated"...

    To me it seems a bit like judging the book by it's covers dismissing it like that... And I care more about the scent than the brand, but we are all different I guess.

    My son is 11 and uses Old Spice Body Wash and Pinaud Country Club Shampoo.

    Old school baby, that's how we roll :cool:

    That's really cool. Those scents are so classic... it's great to hear of youth appreciating them.

    That's because you're forcing him to use them :D

    Surprisingly no, he wants to be like dad...

    Of course this will all change in a few I'm sure when he hits his teens and the rebellion kicks in :rolleyes:

    Yes but as we all know when you hit your 20's you have the "dad was right".

    It is what Alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity. :happy102

    Example, I use to think Old spice and Aqua Velva were for old men. :happy102

    Had the chance to smell the Axe Bergamot last night, had one of those paper samples or whatever in a magazine I got in the mail. The ad stated new "subtle" fragrances from Axe. Well, let me just say that this stuff is anything but subtle, and I definitely didn't smell any bergamot.

    Same old nasty super strong axe IMO.

    I purchased one of the spray cans just once but I do not recall what manufacturer it was. After my workout/shower at the gym I gave myself a few quick burst from the can and thought, "What the hell is this...?" An older gent asked what it was and looked puzzled - it wasn't good at all. A younger kid, maybe in his twenties asked because he thought it was great. I tossed it on over and said, "It's now yours."

    And there you have it...

    Just as we all suspected, Axe still sucks.

    :rolleyes:

    I've read the Vetiver and Amber scents are actually quite good. I'd try before I buy though, if I were you.
