A while back, a friend of mine with teen kids told an amusing story about teen boys and Axe body spray, no doubt a precursor to the dubious Burger King cologne, with hints of ‘cooked meat,’ that was launched this week, in time for the holidays.
As the story went, these freshmen in high school dudes would finish their gym class to shower and get ready for their next class and so vigorously spray themselves down with Axe body spray of differing scents that the locker room would be choked with a powdery residue hanging in the air and a nausea-inducing stench.
Eventually, body sprays were banned from the locker room. Public safety, I suppose.
Little known to most of the free world, those tragic-comic Axe commercials about Axe body spray helping teen guys land woman, apparently work with 12-15 year old teens.
Who knew?
According to Wikipedia, though I have not seen it, Axe rolled out commercials this year for their chocolate scent, Dark Temptation, “a chocolate smelling fragrance that implies that because women like chocolate, they will find men who smell of chocolate irresistible.”
Clearly, Axe was the inspiration for the simultaneously awe-inducing and head-scratching announcement this week that Burger King was selling promotional cologne called “Flame” that promises to marry “the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat.”
My only question is, because there are wine-related perfumes available, as featured by Dr. Vino a couple of years ago, what burger perfume do you pair with what wine perfume?
