Dark Temptation

🤎🌟🪷🌟🤎 Spoiler: "And seriously now: Isn't life hard enough to pass on something beautiful just because it's cheap?" Let's make it simple. Everyone loves it. They're just ashamed to admit it. It will work for you alone, or layered before using a perfume. The most practical sexy clean déodorant, for those who don't like aquatics, citrus, or smelling like a deodorant or soap. The other day I stepped into the TRX class and all the posh women were, "Oh wow, smells good, smells amazing! You wearing men's Mugler?! Wow, wow, lovely!" Every single person you'll encounter will compliment it enthusiastically and enjoy it if they won't recognize it. The ONLY thing the crowd won't like is when you tell them it's a $5 shrewd trickery they derive joy from. And... that's a psychological social issue. Not a theme of the olfactory realm. What does it smell like? Base alone feels like aromatic unisex ambroxide yellow frag, sparkles and fizzling like Armani Emporio DNA. Very pleasant. That's the element giving the stardust vibe. The strong notes are cocoa inclined tonka and milkshake but without being sugary sweet or lactonic, which I LOVE, because one, so rare to find that chocolate beans tone without the cloying sugar. Two, not being a creamy scent, I can layer it with perfumes on a night out. I don't like being deodorant free. Something anyone in the Mediterranean can understand. I guess that's why they claim it's the smell of dark chocolate when it really isn't anything bitter; their purpose was to signal to the consumer; no sugary scent. A great base for pre perfume. This is my winter deodorant, and I'm a girl, so I guess I don't care about other girls knowing my magic halo didn't cost $350. If you're a guy who cares what other girls think, then just answer "Tonka Cola Mancera," "Boy Toy Moschino," or "Mugler A*Man" when the girls dogpile all over you giving you compliments and asking what smells so good. It's very much cousins of those three, with those frags being much better naturally, and me suspecting A*men was the inspiration, but this deodorant is very neutral without being citrusy and that's why it's a must. It's like a simplified gourmand niche in a people pleasing young format. I don't really get why guys who use things that smell beautiful but are cheap are considered douchebags. I think it's kinda sad. I wouldn't want to stop using it just because people are embarrassed when I reveal it's a cheapie, nonetheless a men's cheapie. As for me, I don't care what others think. I'm not a total dingbat... I DO understand that people are enthusiastic, and then you tell them, "Oh, it's a $5 product that you're excited about." That can cause embarrassment in some cultures. A complete infringement of some rules of etiquette, But does that justify the hate? or the fallacy myth of this not smelling good? By far, no. It only shows lack of character or self confidence. Don't listen to the haters. This wouldn't be a worldwide best seller on almost every single continent under two names (Lynx in Australia/Europe, Axe in the USA) if it were anything short of lovely pleasantness. I just love it because it lifts my mood. And seriously now: Isn't life hard enough to pass on something beautiful just because it's cheap? Having said all that, let's admit it: a young zetsy elegant non citrus deodorant isn't at all easy to come by; Which makes this super useful, versatile, practical and handy for those who don't like going out without a deodorant yet don't want the citrus to mess with their perfume of choice. 🤎🌟🪷🌟🤎

This is a GREAT layering tool for D&G The One, specifically the EDT (though I suspect it will work with a few of the other ones also). I would recommend actually getting the body wash if you can find it as well as the spray deodorant. You probably don't need to use the body wash more than just using it to lather and rinse off before you exit the shower...so you can actually use something else as your primary cleaner. Just go easy on the spray (of course hit the arm pits) and then spray on The One EDT in the places you normally would (for me either side of the neck and occasionally the wrist to add projection when in movement). This also works well with Lataffa's Asad Bourbon & Khamrah (though that's already pretty strong) and Azzaro's Wanted EDP. During the time this appeared, I was in my prime of realizing that D&G The One EDT would be one of my signature scents. I grew up in England (in the 90s) so have been WELL aware of the ability that Lynx (the original company Axe came from) has on the opposite sex. This is one of the examples that proves the "haters" of Axe/Lynx wrong. The main issue of course is the marketing it had as well as the popularity that forced it to be every where and tiring women out from smelling it. There are a few other Lynx/Axe body wash scents that are amazing for layering. Some are worth keeping a spare bottle of, this is definitely one of them.

Oh God, Dark Temptation <3 Honestly, is one of the best scents i've ever smelled. Is dark (duh), sweet, masculine and sexy (Sexy like a tall, mysterious guy). Is not sweet like A*Men, which reminds me of when you try to put melted candy in a freezer to get hard again. This one, in my opinion, is ONLY for the night (is a body spray, but is HEAVY at when applied). And is totally a crowd-pleaser. It has that "Body odor" thing, but i think that every body spray has it, must be something chemical used in the making of this kind of product, not a note (and maybe our brains link that smell to body odor since we all know someone who sweats a lot and spray Axe after it). Ans honestly, that "body odor" is not a sweaty mess-gyn locker thing. Is that kind of warm, hot body odor (not that stale thing after you run for an hour) The thing that keeps it from being generally used, i guess, is that since is a body spray, is not gonna stay on your skin for a really long time. Projects well while it lasts, but doesn't last that much. This is one thing that fragrance snobs are missing out. If you find it anywhere, PLEASE, give it a try and forget is a drugstore body spray. Forget the price (here in Brazil you can get the whole line - body spray, antiperspirant and shower gel for less then 10 dollars) and try it.

Greetings everyone, I must review this fragrance/scent. It is absolutely perfect example that cheapie scents can bear some quality. While I was living in Netherlands, I noticed many different types of AXE cosmetics in local stores due to the fact that AXE is produced there. In the Netherlands it is possible to purchase both deodorants and EDT versions of AXE scents. Axe Dark Temptation is actually not that dark. It is sweet, fresh, light and delicious frankly speaking. Vanilla and Chocolate and Sugary Caramel are the main notes. It does have that LE MALE feeling to it, somewhere in the background, however this is one of the best AXE scents. Another I could recommend is AXE Africa. Axe products are synthetic, simple, but it does not make them bad. I have smelled plenty of 30USD frags that project much much inferior quality. If you have a chance grab AXE Dark temptation and AXE anarchy EDT versions. They are amasing for their price range. Longevity is good and projection also. It lasts hours but is not a beast. All in all 9 in cheapie category. PS. It is a good time to war it since it is less popular than a few years ago. Would suit someone in the 18-30 years group, or anyone who wants to feel happy and refreshed! good luck anyone!

Let me start out by saying I do not like chocolate. As a woman, I only enjoy it when it’s that time of the month. Otherwise I’m a white chocolate girl. Anyways, the only chocolate perfume I can think of loving right now is Dame Perfumery’s Chocolate Man EDT (which performs so much more than what we think when we hear EDT). AND THIS AXE MIST!!! 😱 I don’t care if Dark Temptation is made into a body wash, shampoo, conditioner, anti-sweat powder, lotion, hand cream, deodorant, body mist—my life will *not* be complete until an awesome-performing Dark Temptation EDP is in my life!!! I feel like Alexandria Fragrances, Montagne, or even Genre could “dupe” this body mist into an extrait or eau de parfum... Just not sure if there would be enough interest. People be snobby, even if it’s about a scent they’ve never even smelled. ☹️
