You’re late for the bus. Again. You’re running as fast as you can and you finally make it, just as the doors are closing. And there they are. You lock eyes with an angel. But, sadly, you used your regular shower gel that morning. They don’t even notice you and get back to their book.
*SIGH*
What’s the lesson here? People actually read on buses?!
No (well, maybe that, too).
The real lesson is that you’ve always got to smell ready so that you can turn a moment into an opportunity. Lucky for you, this little guide has all you need to know about finding the best-smelling body wash, so you’ll be ready for when the unexpected happens.
CHOOSING THE BEST-SMELLING SHOWER GEL FOR YOU
When choosing a scented shower gel, there are some important things to think about to make sure you get one that works for you:
- Clash of the titans. Using a perfumed shower gel is a great way to get yourself smelling 10/10 fresh, but make sure you choose a scent that works with your antiperspirant or deodorant. AXE Apollo is a classic combo you can’t go wrong with.
- Look for a body wash that smells good all day. It’s all very well-and-good smelling amazing when you get out of the shower, but realistically the only people around to appreciate it at home are your mom, and likely your cat who has boundary issues and is always *coincidentally* in the bathroom whenever you take a shower. Choose a body wash that has a refreshing scent for 12 hours… *cough* AXE *cough*. And if that doesn’t sound very long to you, just remember how long a class at school feels. (Psst, if you’re worried about body odor, check out this guide on how to smell great all day).
- Ingredients. Finding the best-smelling body wash for men is only half the battle – if it’s rammed full of nasty chemicals, then it’s really not worth it. Luckily, this part is pretty easy – AXE Body Washes include kind-to skin plant-based moisturizers and use paraben-free, derma-tested formulas.
Make sure you choose a scent that works with your antiperspirant or deodorant.
BEST SMELLING BODY WASH FOR MEN: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE
BEST SMELLING SHOWER GEL FOR...
- Sporting glory (or the guy who struggles to get out of bed, no judgements here). Whether you want to maximize your energy before a big game, or you just need some (any at all) energy to get out of bed in the morning, try AXE Sports Blast Body Wash, for a 12-hour sport re-fresh. Its invigorating energizing citrus scent is designed to help you feel energized and ready for the next play.
- Loud and proud moments. Looking for a body wash that smells good all day and will tempt anyone to get closer to you for another sniff? Try AXE Dark Temptation, with a revitalizing and rich chocolate scent (it literally has ‘temptation’ on the bottle). And be honest, who isn’t tempted by chocolate like all day?
- The guy that always comes through. When it comes to it, you always want to be the guy that can handle the pressure and be relied on. Match your body wash to your personality with AXE Excite. Not only does this body wash provide a great, long-lasting crisp coconut and black pepper scent, but it’s designed to be invigorating, so you’re ready and raring to go in a clutch situation. Like coming up with a new order at a busy Drive Thru when you’re told your go-to burger isn’t available. Getting sweaty just thinking about that one.
- The guy looking for a subtle scent. Spent hours finding your perfect signature scent with a deodorant or aftershave and don’t want anything to overpower it? For the best smelling shower gel that won’t overwhelm, choose AXE Black which provides a fresh pear and cedarwood scent that helps get you ready for the day and won’t overpower your deodorant.
And if you’re still not sure, the rejuvenating powers of AXE Ice Chill are a solid choice so that you can smell ready for anything.
