Wrong.

Lynx has been selling Anti-Perspirant versions of their bodysprays for what must be going on five years now. It was originally marketed as 'Lynx Dry', but now it just says Anti-Perspirant on the can to distinguish it from the non Anti-Perspirant version.

I would agree with what one of the other posters said that it seems to be a lot less powdery so you don't get as many white marks. I think Gillette's deodorants are the worst for leaving huge white marks.

I use Lynx anti-perspirant for the same reason, with some other anti-perspirant I randomly get a load of powder. Its a major pain if I'm rushing to get out and my t-shirt/jeans get sprinkled with the stuff. Lynx seems to remain "misty" for the whole can.

+Theophany: I have a can right here and 5th on the list is Aluminum Chlorohydrate, still manages to avoid the 'powederyness' of other brands.

I suggest you read up on the definition of 'wrong'.

I think you've taken what I said wrong.

I wasn't arguing what an Anti-Perspirant is, I was pointing out that what you said is wrong by claiming that Lynx are just body sprays, when the reality is that they make both Body Sprays and Anti-Perspirants.

Perhaps go and have a look at their range before telling me to check a dictionary yeah?

I use Lynx (well, I quite like it actually), but mainly because it's nowhere near as powdery as anything else I've used (Gillette, Sure, Right Guard). Sometimes they're fine, but every now and then for some inexplicable reason the spray will leave behind huge amounts of powder -- I've never got this with Lynx.

...seriously?

Yup, no white marks, or sticky residue, and just one spray of lynx dry after a shower and I'm good for 48 hours of no stink.

Its very effective stuff, and other brands I've tried have been nowhere near as good.

Seriously, no white marks from Lynx dry (or they may have changed the name now, I still have 4 cans of it left from ages ago), and one spray works for me for 2 whole days.

My apologies. The type used in the post I quoted was not mentioned. Strangely enough, being intimately acquainted with a range of body sprays and deodorants isn't very high on my list of interests. I bow to your superior knowledge of Lynx/Axe.
 
Quick necro - I see there is now an Axe Vice available. From the description, "Vice fragrance is a seductive blend of sheer woods & musk and is infused with the exhilarating freshness of exotic fruits and cool aromatic masculine notes." Sounds like it could be close to the old Java smell. Can anyone (who's prepared to admit to) having bought it, confirm?
 
I remember back in school we all used to have collections and would see who could get the whole set. Inca was by far my favourite. I still use Africa as that is really the only old one left.

What is the difference between Lynx and Axe? are they the same? is Axe a cheap rip off of Lynx? surely they can't do that? or if it is Lynx, why dont they just call it Lynx?

Its the same with Vauxhall cars and Opal, they are they same, but with different names.

It is the same just with a different name, not sure why.

Lynx? Why would you want to smell like a teenage boy?

Africa was the worst, it smelt like the inside of an austin metro that'd been smoked in for 20 years and got damp. Disgusting stuff, gave me a headache.

Get some sandalwood or talc under them pits man.
