AXE is Overhyped

AXE Body Spray, body wash, and other products are overrated. In fact, I'm actually allergic to the body wash. It dries out my skin really bad and I kept getting rashes... anyways;
As I explained in my Pepsi Max post, marketing is a big factor. I've spoken to several girls who have told me that they hate the smell of AXE. I, personally, don't mind it, but if the main purpose of wearing the stuff is TO ATTRACT WOMEN, then doesn't that defeat the purpose? Personally, the best body wash I've ever used is from Suave and the best deoderant is Old Spice Red Zone.
Basically, AXE = fail. The marketing makes you think that you'll get swarmed by scantily clad teenagers- unfortunately, it ain't true. And seriously... who the hell wants to pay $6 a bottle? Not I.
EDIT//
I've been getting some negative feedback on this, let me clarify: I have not used an AXE Scrubber. It may be the best damn invention ever. But I haven't used it, hence why I didn't bring it up.
And, the girl's feedback varies from girl to girl. Some chicks may love it, but the ones I've talked to said it was meh at best. Alright? Everyone happy now?
