The blonde woman in the leather jacket is the only one who knows what she's talking about. She didn't just get Axe right she nailed a bunch of other fragrances. They all assumed Axe, which is ONLY a body spray is going to be overpowering so it's no surprise they picked two powerful men's fragrances like Sauvage and Eros.
You say that but go back a few vids and watch Gab get every single mens cologne correct, 5/5
@@SidSauvage Gab knows her stuff too, but she didn't do well today. Most of them are useless, but yes, Gab is one of the good ones.
nah nah eros smells like body spray lmaoo, a bunch of mint and vanilla something axe would do
You couldn't fool me with Sauvage, Eros, Halloween man x or Joop homme because I own them all haha
She’s also incredibly good looking. I’d be genuinely shocked if she wasn’t a model of some sort.
9:08 Number 7 is axe. Versace Eros users: "... and I took that personally".
This was the first frag I tried via split and it was reminiscent of axe to me too. I o my wire it twice before I had to tap out
The most attractive woman in the panel thought it was a great scent. So we’ll take that! 😂 The rest have funny opinions across all such videos, for all the big name designer colognes.
it's my favorite fragrance and i took it personally
Fr I like versace eros. The opening can have a strong smell to it but it doesn't smell cheap to me and after it starts drying down it smells great.
Versace Eros = Axe Apollo. Gives me headaches
Jeremy fragrance: Girls love Versace Eros! The white cap girl smelling Versace Eros: This is AXE!
I know, like how can't you tell it's Eros
Axe has a lot of diff scents. They copy a lot of mainstream fragrances. Axe also has some really good scents. It's just bad quality. Mass like fragrances are similar to body sprays and shower gels.
@@cjstats1514 na dude, Axe smells cheap as fuck. Not comparable to Eros.
@@Morowinger That's why I said bad quality. Same scent profiles. Just more synthetic and doesn't last.
@@Morowinger Eros smells cheap and synthetic
wonder if each person is remembering the same scent of axe? like one girl could be remembering what phoenix smelled like and one could be remembering what apollo smelled like.
Exactly my thoughts while watching...WHAT IS AXE REALLY? Was there a specific version that is considered as the original Axe in the states? Who knows...For me Axe is Africa, then Inca - not the first ones from 80s.
but all axe has a very distinct smell. im not a fraghead myself so idk what notes im referring to. they all smell a bit deodorant-ish
Asking "Which one is Axe", is equal to "Which one is Versace"
Should have gone with the most iconic one of them all "Africa".
I know exactly in my mind how Gold and Africa smell like and there is a stark contrast
Shows it doesn't matter what you wear or how expensive, some will like it some wont. Wear what YOU enjoy and don't give a f what anyone thinks.
I love how the guy in the black sweater is always supremely confident and completely wrong 😂
Jim is hilarious by the way, especially when he talked about Tom Ford Beau De Jour lol! Love that they kept the off-camera laughter in! 😆
Stella is definitely as beautiful as she is smart. She always speaks eloquently and uses strong logic to deduce and define things. What a woman!
On top of looking like a Swedish model, she seems very sophisticated, smart, and thoughtful. She seems to got it all together. Couldn't agree more.
She just really has a level of class that is out of this world. The woman wants a Pagani. Normal women want G-wagons and she wants a hyper car.
@@Mudoh415 G-wagons are made for offroading and they're terrible in any other case. Why on EARTH would any regular, normal person want one?! It's a huge, ugly, gas-guzzling monster with an exorbitant price tag. The MSRP of cheaper(!!!) version of the G-wagon is 140k. That's like 2-3 actually useful cars.
@@M4RCi92 People still want them even though they are crap. They are a statement piece to those who care. It's odd frankly.
@@M4RCi92i dunno why, but hey women dig it for some reason
Fragrance folks are usually so derogatory about Joop Homme, and yet time and time again, the general public loves it 🙂
To this day, I love Joop! IDC what anyone says. 😁
Joop Homme will forever be a fave of mine on men!
That's no problem with Joop, it's a nice and strong fragrance, problems are people who regularly overspray
I dont like it, its to "stinky", but I do enjoy the flanker Joop Homme Wild
don't fragrance youtubers like to recommend it as a great cheap option?
He's a beast. Respect.
Literally the most undeniable beast of all time
I love that these videos show how peoples opinions of high end and popular fragrances differ greatly. Sometimes we get caught up in what everybody will compliment rather than what we like to wear for ourselves. Great videos!
Great video! Nice to see something fresh that hasn’t been done before. Also, the mix of different people and their perspective it’s so fun to watch
Maybe the greatest cologne video of all time.
The thing about the Axe line (and any of those body spray lines like Bod) is that they are very top heavy in terms of notes, so spraying a lot of it on will be overwhelming for the first hour or so. Then it burns off quickly and leaves the smell it was intended to be in the first place. Most designer fragrances are like that, too, where the top notes draw you in and then the mid and base can leave an unpleasant impression. I've learned that the hard way and now only buy full bottles if the lingering smell left over on my skin really pleases me.
LOVE THIS IDEA. Please do more like this! Loving the creativity!
Kudos... channel keeps getting better! Great concept and good descriptive comments from the testers.
Great line up of people. Love these. OMG how sweet is Anna.
Your team is awesome and your videos are extremely relevant to us in the frag community! Please don't stop making videos.
The blonde who said it might be Axe is the one I was counting in. She has a great nose!
Stella has the nose, she should have her own channel. Also they are smelling the drydown which explains why the Axe smelled faint. If they also had the opening I would bet more of them would have been able to pickout the Axe. They are projecting what they think Axe would smell like in the drydown and Axe has no longevity, so no real drydown scent and only Stella had the reasoning that the weakest would be the Axe.
Loved this concept!
This is an interesting study on memory and nostalgia. Great video concept.
Damn, good point about Axe/Lynx. Spray on too much, and it's overwhelming; spray on just enough, and you have a cheap alternative to a pleasing fragrance.
Most undeniable beast of all time! Haha Love your work Beast!
Mike and Stella have such good noses!
AXE has really good scents imo, it's all about how much to use. I think people remember axe being strong and potent because teens would over spray for sure. I also don't think we all think of the same one, for me a teen's axe is Excite, or Apollo cause it's what I used in middle school and high school, but also some colognes remind me of back then because I'd use some of my dads so for me some of Boss' colognes also remind me of teens. I always got complements on my smell in middle school and high school. I'm in college and while I have colognes like Sauvage, Legend, and Polo red, I use axe dark temptation as a daily and I still sometimes get complements. axe gets a bad rep and I never really got why. I think there are some that have a good scent and if they are used properly like a deodorant and not a cologne is fine as it only really smells when sweat forms.
When you actually shower and don’t overspray, Axe smells better than most colognes $100 or more. Depends on the type though. The Gold line literally smells high end. The original Gold, Gold Temptation, and Gd Citron have gotten me so many compliments it’s not even funny.
Interesting concept for a video. Fun to watch.
The thing with Axe is that it’s actually weaker than colognes and the difference is that people would vastly overspray it, giving that super strong almost gross vibe that they mentioned at the start. Putting it on a piece of paper really changes things, I think if they did the same thing but sprayed each one on a person it would be different
Overspray is an understatement. More like an exterminator fogging a 2000 square foot house.
I just love these videos and Stella is the Grand Master every time. She has great taste and can spot quality, and also has a nose for notes, which many dont have. She is always on point and impresses. Jae thinks any men's fragrance with any floral notes is "feminine", which cracks me up. Nice seeing some different and more unique content like this "Axe" video also. Love the channel's content. Always well lit, edited and produced!
No doubt she is from Ohio
great concept! keep it up teddy!
I just saw this title and it made me laugh. Well done, well done 👍🏻
'It didn't even smell like anything" Exactly! 🤣
bruh jim is hilarious the amount of confidence and certainty in his words hahahahha
They expected it to be stronger because Axe IS overpowering when first sprayed - it's all top notes and alcohol which evaporates quickly and gives a more powerful initial blast. Sometimes an EDT initially smells stronger than EDP for this exact reason Side note but anyone remember TAG body spray?? That stuff was way better than Axe 😂
Remember BOD body spray
Haha awsome loved it guys .. more of these videos please 👍👍👌👌 The blond girl has a great nose or sense of smell bravo 👏🏼 loved the others answer as well Grat job everyone 😘
Love Gab! “Smells like my old priest” 😂😂
Lol at Gab doing the no time for shower move.
From the beginning Versace Eros and Axe Dark Temptation smell a lot alike,they both open with a strong mint smell.If you keep smelling them as they start to dry you can tell Eros is a much deeper more complicated expensive fragrance.Axe just smells like butane gas and that's what gives away Axe fragrances they use pressureized butane instead of alcohol which smells totally different.
Mike & Stella rock! Well done.
love these video's it really shows scent is super subjective and when it comes to smelling blindfolded no one can agree on anything lol
What a great topic on this great channel
My 2 faves won, Jim's reactions killed me off as always
Love these videos!
Haven’t used axe in years. They do have great scents but i lean toward old spice because the fiji scent is my favorite
Fiji is great, i use it in my head n shoulders shampoo, fiji flavour
This is a very cool style of video.
Great video. A couple sprays on paper would disguise it, cause guys use a can when using it. I have Versace, & love the smell. Guess I could have saved 💵 & just bought Axe. LOL
I like Mike in every guessing video this channel has. He is more intuitive than the rest of males and including Jeremy Fragrance. 🔥
Fragrance is so subjective. I remember the first time I smelled kilo, and it reminded me of something, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Axe or not it left a mark.
I never used the jock spray so it would be a guess for me. The only one I could pick out of a lineup would be Loves Baby Soft.
super entertaing ! great charaters! congratz to ThE BEAST :D
Stella and Anna also have smart noses! Well done!
I love this video concept...
Loved this
A wide range of scents here ... next time pick fragrances with scent profiles closer to Axe makes it more challenging. Also which Axe is it - saw it in the description but not the video. I used to wear Axe now I have over 60+ fragrances.
this is a brilliant test. you are fleshing out certain opinions youd never get on solo blind smells with prior knowledge of frag category . people are prejudiced by brand knowledge and their smell memories. less so much the smell itself. very revealing . we are so full of it. lol. Anyone could wear anything. great job on exsposing us. lol. Also, its the amount of sprays and technique which can distort an otherwise pleasurable smell experience . is this an argument FOR the "sissy spray" so called?
Stella always seems to know what she is talking about. Gab is funny, I like her take on things.
I think this threw everyone because it was probably sprayed super light compared to what we all remember it smelling like. People that wear axe drench themselves in it. And thats probably why people thought it was eros, cause that’s mad strong.
Mike was a great addition here!
Stella's nose is spot on! I'm impressed
People remember axe being really strong but you have to remember those guys in middle school probably put it on moments before they got to class, hell probably in class and they always overdid it
I think the classic 'Axe' smell everyone remembers is Phoenix aka the blue one
Not going to lie, the reacters drove me a bit crazy. As most know Axe has a LOT of different fragrances/scent profiles. All the "This doesn't smell like "Axe"" comments were frustrating for me. For me, I doubt I would know by fragrance alone, but could have guessed by performance since they likely didn't blast the strip. I remember wearing mostly Phoenix, Unlimited and Clix (still have a few cans), wouldn't have any idea what Adrenalin smelled like though. (Anyone know when that profile launched? Doesn't look familiar from the logo.)
The guy in the black sweater is pure comedy very refreshing content
The guy in the all black is hilarious!
I’m here watching this bc the dry down on my Eros reminded me of Axe lol
Should have included Invictus Victory cause it smells very similar to Axe Dark Temptation. A&F Fierce also would have confused people probably lol
Fierce smells high quality and luxury, so no I don't think it would fool them. But Mont Blanc Legend Spirit may fool them since it's like the cheaper clone of fierce
Stella has the best nose by far. She's the real beast lol
I have a decent amount of fragrances but I always keep a small can of axe in my car glovebox for the days that I smell a little BO , I’d rather smell like axe than pits😅
Which you find the best perfume blue de Chanel , PDM Carlisle , PDM Pegasus, mancera cedrat boise, creed aventus cologne, Dior home intense or aqua do gio Armani perfumo
@1:03, don't you mean it has more ....DEPP to it? :D :D :D
Father John from grad school wore Drakkar Noir!
This is such a classic consumer psychology experiment, unintentionally.
Its crazy how most of them think axe is powerful, its not at all, only in the openings, and if you spray a lot, but after that it becomes a skin scent really quickly (which its supposed to coz its a deodorant)
Joop Homme… Finally Jimmy and I agree.
*guessed the cheapest cologne correctly. Mike: "I'm a beast" Me and the other Axe boys: yes you are! Tell them!
So Axe has been reformulated xD
It is called Lynx here in the UK.
Ever since I was 22 I've used Axe body spray. I've always sprayed it on my hands and then rubbed it on my wrists, between my arms, neck and side of my belly and used deodorant of course for my armpits. This day I was wondering if I applied it correctly so I searched it up and got the revelation that people aren't using them anymore. That it has been because of their bad rep It then struck me that it's been a long time since I've seen new Axe body sprays in grocery stores. Back in the early 2010's they would release 2 new editions a year, but they have had like 1 edition for the last 6 years now. Feels like I've been living under a rock.
It sorta seems you are using it wrong. Thought the bottle said just spray on neck and chest. However they did just make some new fragrances for ax this year
Great stuff
at around the axe scent people started saying they couldn't smell much which i think says a lot about the challenge itself, you get noseblind at around your third scent so maybe there was just too many fragrances to be smelling all in one sitting, could be more of a challenge though
The dry down of Axe is basically non-existent. They shouldn’t smell much.
I sprayed Versace Eros on my wrist today and I got a headache from it. It’s so strong and artificial. Then I realized it smells exactly like Axe Apollo, so I went to KZhead to search for a comparison and here we are. They should make 1:1 testing of Versace Eros vs Axe Apollo.
They at least understood after failing to guess that the reason why they think axe is gonna be a strong/powerful scent all day it's just that people were drenching themselves in it 😂
eros does smell like axe soooo much, ultimately on the opening,
that guys a beast!
Well.. I'm in love with leather jacket girl now.
Mike is a beast!
That last dude is a beast
do they know its dior savage and them naming it is being cut out or do they still not remember the smell after all tehse times
8:56 I’m dying laughing 😂
When you feel believe Versace Eros to be like Axe. You just know that Axe can market their product right.
Eros smells synthetic like axe
Precisely. Their nose followed their mind’s eye
what a beast!
I'm a beast 😎... 🤣🤣🤣
you sir, are indeed a beast
I don’t wanna get eros because it resembles axe but im only in highscool in middle school I had savauge dior and people asked if it was axe😭
Axe has tons of diff scents. How wld you know by just smelling one.
BrilliAnt video!
I like how they said they all hate axe but they couldn't tell were the axe was lolll
Woooooow, I’m wonder, axe Apolo smells similar to percival pdm, i wonder 💭 Apollo, percival, fierce and legend, who will win 🥇
Drakkar Noir 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They keep referring to Axe as if it is only one scent. They have like 10 different scents. By the way they were acting, you'd think they were trying to find which one was Brut by Faberge. Axe isn't terrible, it's just affordable.
