Black

Smells just like Coty's Gravity but without any citrus. Very peppery, and projects surprisingly well in the recent "48hr Fresh" versions. Axe Black actually really grew on me, I love it now. The recent blended Axe's (like Axe Gold) are much better than the old synthetic ones, but Axe Black is still quite good, since it seems like simply Pepper and Lavender. A nostalgic 90s-era scent, I absolutely love it. Edit: Was Axe Black ever reformulated? It smells like Pepper and Lavender, I can't detect any other notes lol. I wonder if the new "48 Hour Fresh" versions released this year changed the scent, because the body spray smells impressively strong, I actually adore it and highly recommend it. Both Axe Black and Axe Gold are phenomenal.

A beautiful fragrance; the scent of mandarin combined with melon and cardamom gave the perfume a calming marine aroma.

it smells nice, but performs weak. not offensive

To be honest, I really like this one. It has a nice scent, but it's just too weak, there's no Sillage and After you spray, it's like 5 minutes later you just don't smell anything, it's like you never sprayed it to begin with. I bought the shower gel under this scent and again, there's nothing there. I've tried Apollo body spray and body wash and it's the same thing. I've never tried their antiperspirant deodorant, or who knows it might give off nothing.. I just don't understand why men's Fragrances are so light and unmasculine nowadays.. I like Axe Black, but I don't think I'll be buying it often, it's such a turn off.

This is actually much better than so much of of the amber wood bullshit being sold for 5-10x the price in fragrance stores these days. It's fresh, fruity and pleasant and the silage has no harshness or overwhelmingly chemically unnaturalness. Projects pretty good the first hour or two. Even though my collection is large, I wear this sometimes on casual summer days. For the price it's a winner! Don't be an awful snob!
