Where You Live Determines What You Should Smell Like

There’s no mistaking a good-smelling woman—the kind whose scent lingers long after she’s gone. The same works for men as well. Hopefully, you never let ‘em see you sweat, but as far as serious smellum, you probably wear whatever was in the free bag of goodies from your freshman year. Now’s the time to consider refining that lasting impression with a little science.

Turns out geography plays a large role in which smells women associate with a desirable mate, according to results from a study led by Axe and a team of research institutes. Since you can’t see smells, we created Smell-O-Vision: a nasal prism which bends images of hot chicks into images of their desirable olfactory sensations based upon geographical location. Who says we didn’t learn anything from Dark Side of the Moon? Here’s hoping Roy G Biv helps you rev her engine.

    One time I was in the Milan airport on a layover.. so I did some shopping.. first I bought my girlfriend a handbag, wallet, bracelet… then I went shopping for myself.. I went into the Gucci store where this super hot Italian chick was working.. I bought myself a tie and flirted a bit.. at the counter she suggests I buy this cologne.. Gucci rush.. she tells me its unisex.. ok whatever hot bitch charge the card!
    So over the next few months I am proudly wearing this cologne.. nevermind that my girlfriend told me it smelled a little feminine.. she didn’t like it.. but I didn’t care.. I liked it.. its unisex!
    A few years later I find out the “cologne” I was wearing (used up the entire bottle) was not men’s cologne but perfume.

    Axe should have an airplane bottle sized 10 pack for the bachelor on the go. I’d like to smell like all these for the ladies on the left. ;>
