I have heard of the Axe Aftershaves, and Colognes. They are not sold in the US though.
In the US, Axe is the exclusive domain of young men, and only comes in body spray, body wash, and deodorant.
Axe is typically only used by young men (who don't shower frequently enough) in an attempt to cover up their horrific stench instead of actually taking a shower!! The end result is pure nastiness!!

Oh man, walking into my school's locker room the air is heavy with particles of axe or some other odorous spray... I've not seen the cologne here in Canada either.
Back before Axe was there an equivalent body spray that permeated the locker rooms of yesteryear?

Don't waste your money and youth on that horrid ...horrid thing.
I like the AXE shave cream from India
Axe has become known and markets at the "loser" who can't "get the girls"
No. I've no desire to smell like teen spirit.

Axe Aftershave? I'm shocked...I thought boys didn't start shaving until they hit 16?
Well that may be the case in the US but not in Pakistan. I discovered the AXE Aftershaves yesterday and the fragrances is awesome !

I know, I've seen the advertisements.
The fragrance is great, try it yourself if you don't believe me.
Next item on my list is brut or addidas aftershave.
Am I the only one on this thread who actually lives with a teenage boy? My son is in the iron grip of the AXE mafia and my otherwise sanctified shave den is littered with the offal of those awful AXE people. This does NOT, however, seem to have the slightest negative impact on his ability to attract girls his age or older. If I believed that correlation equalled causation, then I would long ago have put my liquid funds not in AXE stock, but in their product and sat back waiting for the zombie apocalypse and the corresponding scarcity of live women and then made my move.
Seriously, the damn stuff isn't that bad; at least not nearly as bad as its commercials and judging from the strictly limited data set at hand, might actually fulfill a little of its promise. I wish it were otherwise.
His success is due to the Axe not masking BO and his self-confidence.

The issue isn't with Axe itself (although the scents are nothing special; basically overpriced, and tons of better stuff is available), it's more with the lack of basic hygiene practices, and an attempt to overcome that by a serious over application of Body Spray.
Un-showered stinky teen + Over application of Body Spray = a cloud of gross when teenager is encountered.

Question: "Has anyone tried the AXE aftershave splash?"
Answer: "Yuck, that stuff has that "old man" smell!"

The introduction of Bay Rum and Pinaud Clubman aftershaves broke my son from the Axe mafia. (he's 17) He takes great pride in str8 razor shaving, and true old-school manly smell!
Guys,
Again I ask if any of you actually live with a teenage boy in the full flower of puberty? Using only my son's cohorts as examples, if anything, they're overgroomed. His cleaning ritual is more extreme than mine and I'm no slouch. He flosses, brushes, shampoos, scrubs, exfoliates, deodorizes and who knows what else. Working from a limited data set here, but my experience does not conform to the descriptions the rest of you provide.
Not encouraging him to use my gear for now. Right now, if dad uses it, then it's not cool. For instance, I took him to Pasteur's and I bought some Penhaligon's and RR and some MWF. He found a limited edition AXE shampoo. There's no talking them out of this phase; they have to grow out of it. Meanwhile, his overpriced grooming products are a hell of a lot cheaper than mine, so it's all good with me.
My son is a bit past "the full flower of puberty", but judging by his friends and those about his age, I'd say your son (and his cohorts) are the exceptions to the rule. Count your blessings.
I shared a bath at a mens retreat awhile back, and one of the gents(60+) used AXE. Those of us with dopp kits just left them lined up on a shelf near the sink. My dopp kit smelled like AXE for a month! I will say the stuff has staying power.
