I have been a long time user of Axe and essentially body sprays in general. I find that sometimes deodorant, just doesn't do it all of the time. And if you are a man, you know what I'm talking about. We just have some horrible body odors, that you just can't cover up by putting deodorant all over our bodies.

Axe has been forever a part of my life ever since going through basic training. We used to all spray this stuff on in such heavy doses, that our dormitory smelled like an Axe factory every time we got the opportunity to take a shower. I don't think that the smell ever went away, and when I got out of basic, I swear, I couldn't use the stuff for the longest time. But, it's been a while now, and I love it all over again.

The Tsunami smell is generally is definitely my favorite of all of the different Axe fragrances and is the product that I use the most of all deodorizing products. I really only change it up every now and then to do something different.

Tsunami in general
Tsunami is quite a bit different than the other products from Axe. It is the strongest smelling of all of the different products and lasts quite a bit longer than the rest. I find that this smell is a lot like that of Gillette's shaving gels. It has a great masculine smell, that stays with you for a while.

Ingredients
SD alcohol, 40-B9Alcohol Denat), Butane, Hydrofluorocarbon 152A, Fragrance (Parfum), Isopropyl Myristate

How the ladies like it???
While my wife loves the smell of Essence the body spray by Axe, she likes Tsunami as well. I'm glad that she likes it, because it is the one that I use more than any of the others. She has been using this product to keep the odor down where we keep our cat's litter box and where our dog sleeps. It has a great way of keeping down odor for a good period of time, so she uses it as an air freshener, I guess. She also sprays my shoes with it, when I would come home from work, back when I was in the Air Force.

Personal Warnings
DO NOT, and I must repeat, DO NOT put this under your arms if you for some reason have cut yourself or anything of that nature. This goes for pretty much anywhere on your body, including places that you just got pierced or anything like that. This stuff BURNS like crazy, and even in areas that you just shaved, you can definitely feel the alcohol in it burning through your skin. Personally, I love the smell, but if you use too much, it can definitely cause you a little bit of pain. While the pain is generally very shortlived, I can only imagine how bad it would feel if you had some really bad sunburn... ouch!

As a deodorant
This is definitely not the product that you want as a deodorant. It doesn't really work very well, and the smell is somewhat short lived. If you want to use it for the temporary covering up of odors, Axe is more than adequate, however, a more long term solution, definitely will not work. You'll notice that the smell is virtually gone after about 8 hours or after a good workout. You can pretty much smell your body odor through the spray the entire time.

As a body spray
As a body spray, which is really the intended purpose of the product anyway, it's great. It covers up the mild smells that your body creates, outside of your armpits. I don't recommend spraying it down on your crotchal regions, however, if you don't have any baby powder available, this will do the trick to cover up any smells that you need to eliminate fairly quickly. However, it does burn on certain man parts, so be gentle with it's use. The Tsunami smell is quite a bit stronger, than most body sprays, so it does somewhat overpower some deodorants, but usually for the better.

Final Thoughts
Axe is one of the best body spray products out there. If you are planning on using it for a body spray that just compliments your deodorant, this is definitely the product for you. However, if you are thinking that you should use this in order to eliminate your body odor altogether, and use it under your arms, it's not going to work. There's no anti-perspirant in this product, so you are going to still sweat from your armpits, and you are still going to produce odor, which over time will eliminate the smell of the Axe product.

Tsunami in general is a great overall product that has a good generally long lasting smell, that is great for keeping your body fresh. While it doesn't really work well as an underarm deodorant, it does an extremely great job in it's intended purpose as a body spray. Just keep it off of your cuts and you should be fine.
