Pros: Wonderful awakening scent that stays with you.
Cons: Really hurts if sprayed on sunburn
The Bottom Line: Phoenix is one of my favorite Axe products, that always makes me feel alive after spraying it. The only product I actually carry around with me.

| biscuitfarmer's Full Review: Axe Deodorant Bodyspray Phoenix for Men |
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.
Phoenix in general
Phoenix is a great smelling deodorant that is extremely well rounded. I find that it's strong enough, but not overpowering as a body spray. It has a great, fresh scent, that has a special way of making me feel clean all day long, even on those days when I'm definitely not. I generally use this spray in order to keep myself fresh throughout the day, on days when showering really isn't an option. It is somewhat invigorating as well, and keeps me awake and alive. Works great in diaper pails!
Ingredients
SD alcohol, 40-B9Alcohol Denat), Butane, Hydrofluorocarbon 152A, Fragrance (Parfum), Isopropyl Myristate
How the ladies like it???
My wife loves this smell. It's not overly strong, so she doesn't have to plug her nose after I spray it, but it's more than strong enough where she notices it on me when we go out. She always tells me that it makes her much more alert whenever she smells it and makes her desire me more. That's probably why she always has me spray it on right before sex or just after. I guess it sort of makes her more aggressive in a sense.
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.
Phoenix is great in covering up unwanted smells, however, I find that it's best to carry around with you and spray it on throughout the day. It has a great awakening fragrance, that is wonderful as a day long pick me up. Not to mention, you don't have to worry about the odor on top of it.
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.
Phoenix will keep you smelling fresh all day long. While that sounds like a promotional advertisement, it's true. It really does give you the fresh feeling that the other Axe sprays don't. I'd say most Axe sprays make you feel sexy and studly, but this spray definitely makes you feel alive and gives you the drive to go out and party in confidence.
