By now I'm sure you have read my original post about Axe's Dark Temptation shower gel and body spray or you have seen the commercials with the women chasing down the chocolate man. Regardless, I find it all just a bit deceiving. I was expecting my boyfriend to step out of the shower smelling like a piece of Godiva chocolate or better yet a nice warm brownie, but no that was not the case. Instead, he stepped out the shower smelling rich and spicy, but also warm and fresh. The whole time I couldn't help but think the scent was somewhat familiar. My nostrils were confused, but then it hit me after he spritzed on the body spray, it was the slightest hint of sweetness which later hinted of chocolate. No wonder all the women were chasing that poor chocolate man down, not only does his scent elude richness and spiciness it is also sweet, subconsciously reminding you of chocolate. After a few hours I knew why the body wash smelled familiar, it's because of the peppercorn. Axe's Dark Temptation shower gel smells similar to Molton Brown's Re-charge Black Pepper body wash, but for $4.99 Dark Temptation is victorious! But please, do not let the economy friendly price tag fool you, Dark Temptation was formulated by world renowned fragrance expert Ann Gottlieb. The notes include hot chocolate, amber, and red peppercorn.
