Rotten Apple: Eau de Gestanque
I have never thought much of the products from the company Axe, and I believe this is simply because I cannot classify cheap synthetic odors as "fragrance."
Not by any means.

However, for those who are guided solely by price and consider it a "bargain" to purchase the 5-liter cartridge of such a concoction at the special price of 3.99 euros, you can't go wrong with Axe.
No matter which fragrance direction you try.

The term "Anarchy" seems to be a very good choice to describe the scent progression of this chemical cocktail.
A piercing, oddly metallic, and somewhat rotten-smelling apple wafts in massive clouds from the uninspired bottle. Compared to this, the tedious apple shampoo of the late 80s was a shining example of natural freshness ...

After the all-corroding, mushy, rotten apple that some untidy person has dumped into a wooden box that has long since decayed, not much else follows.
It only becomes more unpleasant than before, as the rotten-sweet stench suddenly intensifies after a few minutes, becoming downright intrusive.
The strange scent notes that then try to mix in are by no means identical to the ingredients listed in the fragrance pyramid.
It may be that this concoction meets the marginal requirements placed on a product that is sold as "fragrance" in a drugstore.
What could possibly be attractive about this peculiar blend of rotten apples, fermented kumquats, old and long-worn socks, and a whole trash can full of cotton candy is beyond me.
I have rarely had to endure such a disgusting scent mixture ...

Getting rid of this odor is quite a feat, as the stench is not only extremely persistent, it clings to skin and clothing like the proverbial animal excrement on a shoe.

Strong alcoholic-synthetic sporty scent with poor sillage. Better to stick with the deodorant or just get a better perfume.

It instantly triggers a huge gag reflex and strong flight responses in me. Who pours such stuff on their own skin?
