[edit] Flamethrower
Should there be a section or article, maybe an internet meme for the use of axe as a flamethrower? Its all over youtube, just search Axe and Fire. --152.163.100.5 16:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Um, no. It's not an Axe-exclusive feature. Any sprays with flammable propellants can be used that way. Prometheus-X303- 20:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not for intimate use
It does say that on the side of my Axe "Phoenix" can...should I take a photo and post it (in the public domain, of course) or would that go under the "No original research" as far as getting that citation that's needed? --72.141.60.152 21:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I have a Lynx can (Phoenix) and it doesn't say "Not for intimate use". It must just be for Axe Cardboard boxA 11:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Targeting
I added that it is mainly targeted to teens because it is. The actors in their commercials are all teens, and their brands are teen driven. Google statistics to see.
[edit] Need an article

- Axe will not get you laid, Gentlemen. Don't fall for the ads. It's cheap, it's aresol and it's a total sham. Women are generally turned off by the idea of Axe.

- If you can find some evidence then you should add that to the main article. Dose anything increase a man's attractiveness (except clothes, haircuts, behaving well etc.) If so that should go on too. Somewhat doubt it though.

- Has anyone else noticed that when ever there's a criticism of Axe body spray on the net (especially seduction and dating websites) a troll pops up and starts championing it as the best stuff ever? I think it may be part of an elaborite marketing campaign. Watch out for this...Vesperal

- Call me crazy, but I think some women like it when you wear deodorant. Not that this brand is any better; they just have a good advertising campaign. --Explodicle 14:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

- I know I wear it because I like the smell, and so does my girlfriend. And as far as I'm concerned, that's about all I need to convince me to continue. --Serow 00:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- no troll yet, perhaps vesperal scared him off?
-
- The reason I wear it is because it smells nice and most people I know (including a lot of girls) think so to. Altough I have to say, 24 hour protection my ass! It barely makes it past the 3 hour mark for me (by that I mean sweat not smell)
[edit] Tag
Did Axe make TAG? --daunrealist 02:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- No. Axe is a Unilever brand. Gillette makes TAG. "TAG is a re-incarnation of Right Guard Body Spray" PrometheusX303 22:44, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
I made some further additions to the article. -L.a.z.
[edit] Merger
I'll merge Axe Bodyspray with this page; any objections? Dannycas 21:04, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Do it. Gary Seven 17:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Axe and music videos
Does anyone know if there's a hip-hop music video (possibly with Ciara) where there's a guy spraying Axe while walking down the street? I remember seeing something like that a while back on either MTV or BET, but I can't find any info on it now.
Yes, that was "1,2 step" you can add it if you want to.
[edit] History
The article has some contradictory information. In the introductory paragraph, it says it was first launched in France but later down in the history paragraph, it states that It was launched in South Africa, with a date prior to the France launch.
[edit] Axe/Lynx Ad
A practically identical ad was also made starring Ben Affleck for the Lynx label for the UK market. The ad uses some of the same scenes as the version with Nick Lachey, although most of the scenes are different. [1]
While, I'm not disputing that is airs overseas in Europe, but the link citing the ad shows Ben Affleck advertising the Axe brand, not Lynx. Can anyone from that region comfirm that there are two ads, or is this just a simple typo? -HumanZoom 05:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
