Smelling like a 13-year-old boy

Posted by Robin on 23 October 2013 10 Comments

What happens when a fortysomething women walks around smelling like a 13-year-old boy for a week? Mostly nothing. As it turns out, ours is a culture in which, as a general principle, people don’t really feel comfortable commenting on your scent, even when it is so powerful as to be causing climate change. So even if you apply Axe before a funeral—as I did—nobody is going to grab you by the arm and ask you to please leave.

This rise in 'female hotness' is attributed in part to changing fashions – on average, hemlines are shorter and heels are higher - making it nearly impossible for guys to keep calm when meeting a girl.

— So guys, get some Axe Black Chill, yeah? Problem solved. Read more at AXE® Uncovers Dating Game Epidemic - Girls Are Getting Hotter at Yahoo.
