I always have Africa. My fav was Voodoo ages ago but they seem to have stopped that one.
I generally don't like the smell of Lynx on guys. But Africa is niiiiice..
Definately africa, but my current boyfriend has stopped wearing it cos i made the mistake of mentioning my ex used to wear it. I hate the chocolate one. Chocolate is all very well in its place, but its not for deoderant.
"Eau de year eight changing rooms".

Seriously, anyone who wears that stuff over the age of fifteen needs to be shot.

Why? Do you say the same thing about all other deodrants as well? :confused:
Is it Lynx who have that terrible mixing cans scam?
Please no-one say that... :rolleyes:

Definitely. The stuff is nastily cheap. Just buy an unscented anti-perspirant (not a deodorant) and put a nice aftershave on to smell nice.

Lynx isn't really a deodorant, it's an odorant - it doesn't take the smell away it just gives you another, really sickly and juvenile, one. Wear anti-perspirant (like Right Guard, not the terrible Lynx Dry) and then wear some grown-up eau de toilette.

To be fair, the reason I mostly hate Lynx is because I was constantly choking on it in year 9 when guys insisted on stinking up the classrooms. Though as long as its only the (very limited) nice ones, I like it on guys.

Uhuh. I'll bet money you just don't know any better.

Unscented or very slightly scented antipirspirant (sure, or something), then a proper eau de parfum. We have threads about them every so often. I prefer Ralph Lauren Polo Double Black and Hugo by Hugo Boss.

Anti perspirant doesn't work for me, I still always sweat loads. I've got Sure absolute protection stuff and it's still a waste of time. Plus it makes white patches on your clothes so seems completely pointless to me.

I have some eau de toilette (well, something like that anyway, CK stuff) but I only wear that when going out.
Dior farenheight. Or Sure for sport

Some of us can't afford to have your designer tastes. I don't know any men younger than my dad who were eau de parfum or even aftershave.

A decent eau de parfum only costs about £30 and will last you for months on end.

I'm going agree with the above sentiments.

Call me a fuddy duddy, but Marks and Spencers "autograph" is a really good anti-persprint.

Then if we're branching out into a discussion of aftershaves, it has to be Emporio Armarni Black [Even] or Homme.
