Lynx / Axe Java spray deodourant

[phil675]

Use a proper deodorant like Nivea or Right Guard, then lightly apply a nice smelling man-perfume instead. They smell much better than cheapo Lynx. I did use it a lot as a teenager though, genius marketing.

I loved the original ones they did (Nevada, Tempest & Java, Atlantis too however was a bit later) [...]

Just to fulfil my daily quota of young-un correction, the original Lynx trio - in the UK, at least - were Musk, Amber and Spice.

Would love to get hold of some Musk [preferably the aftershave], purely for the nostalgia

i found a bottle of atlantis aftershave or EDT when i was having a clear out, i must have liked that many years ago...

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.

 

[simisker]

It's purely a naming thing to avoid infringing other trademarks. Lynx in UK & Ireland, Axe everywhere else.

Same stuff, different name depending on location AFAIK.

Not that young though, blimey I haven't actually heard of those 3 so you must be ancient

I am intrigued now as to what they smelt like.

Lynx reminds me of my old PE changing rooms in school, the combinations of different lynx smells resulted in a foggy cocktail of nasty perfume masking the faint smell of BO, ah the memories..

So true

lynx alaska 1992. all the girls loved it.

lynx musk was my favourite but it got discontinued after about a year.

i use lynx anti perspirant when it's on offer, it's a decent, neutral 'grown up' fragrance for a good price.

I associate Lynx with teenage boys who read FHM magazine talking about how they would "bang 'er anyday" (despite the fact it would never be reciprocated)

I always liked Lynx Tempest myself though I'm going back a good few years now.

Apparently it's rather rare and expensive now Clicky

It's all about the Old Spice in my opinion - Lynx is for little boys.
Plus the adverts are hilarious...

There's one that smells like chocolate, that worked rather well for me.

I second that, I've had a couple of women remark about smelling really nice from the Chocolate based one (Dark Temptation). To be fair though, its very different to any of the other Lynx scents.

Worst 'I pulled a fatty' post ever.

Lynx Rocket Salad.

That's the one you want for the really nice classy ladies to come flocking.
