Gold (Oud Wood and Dark Vanilla)

And this is where it all started for me. Bought the deodorant and loved it. Then the shampoo. Then I found this on eBay and loved it as well but it only lasted an hour or so. That's when it hit me: I bet I can find this scent that will last much longer in a men's fragrance (cologne). I was off and 50 bottles later I've found so many awesome fragrances but nothing exactly like it. And honestly, that's ok because I still use the deodorant and it mixes in nicely with my other vanilla based fragrances. Like others commenting here, I do wish Axe made a stronger fragrance only version of this. But, they aren't really in the fragrance market and are focused on cleaning/shower stuff so I'd be stunned if I ever found an Axe Gold perfume strength bottle. This isn't supposed to be unisex and is marketed to males. I suppose women could wear it as well but it's not a sweet vanilla. A rather masculine take on men's vanilla lacking sweetness (a GOOD thing for us guys!) and with a woody note to it. Love it but also hate it because it has cost me a lot of money by reigniting my passion for fragrances that had died after my college years. I gave up trying to find something exactly like this in a fragrance but still happily use the deodorant and shampoo. Yes, this still exists on eBay (can't find it elsewhere in the States) but it's too expensive for how long it doesn't last. I do indeed think the scent is great. An absolutely perfectly mixed vanilla for males but there just isn't any value at $20 for this as it's here and gone when you put it on.

This one is very nice. Especially the daily fragrance version which is an EDT concentration with a soft atomizer. It costs about 5$ ( I paid £3.50 in UK) for 100ml If you wouldn't know that it's an Axe/Lynx this one can easily come across as a much much more expensive designer release I really like it I have deodorant, bought a shower gel and also this funny 'daily fragrance' now. I genuinely like this smell a lot !! It's great for layering and on its own Warm spicy vanilla. Decent longevity and a very good projection for the first hour or two. Well done

I use this as air freshener, last about 15 min in the air. But I’ve actually used this as a fragrance 2 times and it lasted for about 5 hours (strangely enough). Put the projection is massive the first 30 min, so I recommend to spray it 30 min before you leave the house and just sissy spray directly when you leave the house. When you’re doing this it’ll last you 5 hours and project very loudly the first hours

Dark Woody Vanilla ... Nice recreation of a dark vanilla with hints of predominantly patchouli, but also tobacco leaves, pink pepper, oud, & amber. Unisex leaning masculine. I'm surprised by how nice it is. Oud here is partially built from patchouli and ambroxan. This is a common base for many popular scents including Noir Tom Ford. For what it is, it's a love for me. Enjoy!

If you close your eyes and smell this on your skin (at least mine!) you could be fooled for smelling a high quality niche-scent! I also tried to wash it off my hand later and I could still clearly smell the deep, warm vanilla/oud-combo. Two thumbs up for a ridiculously good scent for an equally ridiculously cheap price!

this is completely unisex..i consider it even more female and although being a barbie girly girl i actually bought it for myself coz the resemblance to Dior Dolce Vita crossed with Dune (for women) is striking. sweet and spicy.👌🏻💋 edit: in the drydown this is more a dupe of MJ Decadence edp. wowzy

The fragrance of this is not bad. As people have mentioned, it does have a resemblance to Tom Ford Noir. You definitely get the Vanilla and Oud, but at the base of it all there is an animalic note that is fairly dominant, similar to the Civet in TF NOIR. If you can get it, do so.

I have the perfume (edt) version of this which is available in asian countries only i believe. And it's really smells great for the price reminds me of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. It has an average performance and projection but it's a great value.

Probably the best deodorant you can get for this price. It’s a super simple soft oud and vanilla scent. Its simplicity makes it great for layering, to add a dark oudy base to your fragrance.

The best value for money od you want to have vanilla fragrance. Cheaper version of Mercedes Benz Club Black for men. Great longevity and performance 💎Highly recommended by me

Tried it the other day, and man was it good, a fresh oud vanilla with a woody undertone, i loved it for the price, nice quality and it lasted a while too and only 6 $.

I have the EDT of this and honestly when I saw Tuxedo in the related section I almost laughed cos I really do get the link. This stuff is great.

Vanilla always king of men's fragrances and you add wood to that? For 4 dollars this is great. 6/10.

This is a decent vanilla deodorant with some woods, probably one of the best axe scents as well

The wonderful combination of oud and vanilla creates a delightful incense-like fragrance.

The edt version smells alot like Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him. 95% similar!!

A more vanillic Bentley man intense. Nice.

Not bad, Axe, not bad. It should go without saying that there is no oud or anything like it in this fragrance. With that expectation managed, Axe Oud Wood and Dark Vanilla proves considerably more pleasing and less abrasive than other Axe/Lynx offerings. I have the 'daily fragrance' formula, which gentscents assures contains a higher concentration of fragrance than the deodorant body spray. Aromatic and sweet throughout, this scent features a particularly nasty opening (not sure if it's an aromachemical, a deodorant, or a propellant), that thankfully rolls off quickly, leaving a somewhat powdery, linear carob, woody, vanilla experience. I find that it works best applied lightly over large areas - the ambient sillage seems to be more appealing than the whiff close to the skin - and that performance is far from shameful for such a cheapie. Easily unisex. Not sure who would wear this or for what occasion, but it's not half disgusting as expected.

No oud, but an extremely pleasant scent at a more than reasonable price. I blind bought this for about 6 € and have been using it as a body spray through most of the winter, where it mixes perfectly with most sweet tobacco scents and is excellent for layering.. I have the Body Perfume version (sic) - not deodorant but with a pump action spray instead of aerosol, and am actually pretty impressed - longevity is not very good with about three to four hours of projection, but the scent itself is great with vanilla, tobacco, patchouli and some spices, could be clary sage. To doccoflaco below : I see no resemblance to Ferrari Silver Essence whatsoever (no coconut at all), OWAV olfactorally for me lies somewhere between Fendi pour Homme and Tom Ford Noir Extreme. Overall a great bargain that punches well above it's weight.

On those perfumes claiming to include oud , people always comment if it is really oud or something else , if it is a natural one or one of an artifitial variety .... Oud is rare , distant and has many varieties , so I think very few actually know what they are talking about . And , of course, that includes me . I know oud only for smelling a few perfumes . Oud is not something like lemons or rosemary , like leather or grass , that we meet on our daily activities ... That said , I like a lot what I believe oud is . And I think oud is present here , alternating with vanilla for dominance . Inexpensive, available , with a deodorant and a shower gel complementing , this is a good one to start with . I also tried it layering in various combinations . A good smell.
