Men wear Lynx (or Axe, as it's known in the US) to attract ladies and to be intensely manly. Here is an average-looking man attracting a swarm of women with just a few sprays of Lynx:
The adverts promise that women will be drawn to the Lynx wearer like hairs to a balloon. It’s a cheap magic potion for younger guys who want to be prowling, rippled hunks. And I have to admit I’ve always found the smell of Lynx weirdly attractive. I might catch a whiff on the tube or in a pub, and it grabs me. It’s like freshly baked man (but Tesco Value range).
I already wear a men's deodorant (Dove Men Care Clean Comfort stick – would recommend), and so I was curious...

Would I fancy me? Would women run to me? Would I be treated differently? I set myself a challenge to wear a different Lynx body spray to work every day for a week. The body spray also claims to be a deodorant, so as well as rating my sexiness and my manly prowess while wearing Lynx, I'll rate its deodorant skills.
