Lynx

Andrew Flexing

Reeling in the years here...

Cast your mind back through all of the various Lynx deoderants...which were your favourites??

Mine was a tie between Java and Tempest...

deisedevil

Africa. I think it's still my favourite. I don't use Lynx anymore though because it's pretty crap.

davyjose

Africa ... still use it.

Lynx Nevada was pretty nice as well. Miss that one.

blindpilot

Ah java, it used to mask the stink of the night before (or so I thought)

jd007

Africa was the first one that came to my mins aswell. Wasn't there a touch one aswell. That was nice.

auditek923

only kids wear this.

KeithM89_old

Mine was the Atari Lynx....

Andrew Flexing

Remember Oriental?

I'm confused. What do adults wear? And what distinguishes that from Lynx?

Din Taylor

All smell the same to me. Really hate their ads.

MrStuffins

I don't think actuallt MEN still use Lynx, just kids.

And when i was a kid i loved Lynx.

My fave was probably Atlantis, always liked it.

And hated Africa (still do)

'the cheap smell of teenage desperation'
Atlantis for me...OOOooo fancy

falan

Yeah 'java' was a nice one....Usually get 'fever' now....:)

It has to be Africa. I never buy the new ones anymore though. "Chocolate" deodorant? What were they thinking..

wanrek

Decent deodorant that doesn't smell cheap and, in most cases, pretty rancid?

K4t

Dark Temptation aka the chocolate one. Sex. Use the shower gel version too.

Faranheit by Dior when going out.:cool:

Actually, does anyone remember inhaling it through a towel?
It’s better when you can afford real drugs.

I prefer to shower and be clean, not try and cover over the BO.:D

Lynx is putrid, cheap, and for boys, i dont know any men that use it. For me, i am reminded of my youth spent in the changing rooms after matches, where Lynx was always the choice of smelly adolescents who sprayed it in place of taking a shower. I turned my nose up then and would still do so now. Every one in their ''range'' smelt the same too. Really really bad stuff, the aroma of a fart is more enticing. That said, i do actually like their chocolate scented spray! Its about the only one of theirs i can stomach though. Deodorants are rubbish in general anyway, they dont keep you dry and dont prevent you from smelling. Anti-perspirants FTW!

I've never used Lynx. F*cking stuff smells like cheap air freshner.

MrStuffins

I always use Lynx, because when i do, scantily clad attractive girls sniff near me in a dramatic fashion and attempt to partake in intercourse with me!

Especially now since my pet Gorilla is no longer around. He ate a Dairy Milk and he's now the touring drummer with Genesis!

This just proves people can get snobby about anything.

Maybe so, but Lynx still smells like a halibut's gash.

... I just generate my own natural manly musk rather than spraying on a layer of tear gas...
Sweat only smells bad when it goes stale/sour and all the nasty bacteria start reproduce...
That's way I top up with good bacteria and use Actimel as shower gel...

FearDark

Africa is the only one that doesn't smell like cat piss.

DazMarz

Used to use Lynx a lot... until I realised it was about as useful at stopping sweat marks on underarms of shirts as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.

Never minded the smell of Lynx so much, but did really think they were all pretty samey-samey; nothing much to distinguish one from the other.

Nowadays, I use Mitchum anti-perspirant and a tasteful aftershave. Works all the time.

Fixed that for ya!

MrStuffins

A lot of people don't realise that Lynx isn't an "Anti-Perspirant" but a "Body-Spray". Just covers up your stink!

They launched a "Lynx-Dry a few years ago and it was the worst Anti-Perspirant known to mine. Not sure you can even still buy it!

ScumLord

I don't spray myself with toxic waste.

It's not supposed to.


I used to like milk a lot until I realised it was about as useful for running my car as milk.

Africa was your only man back in the day. Lynx is mostly just useful for setting alight

So that'd be none of them. Lol at the people actually thinking they're using a deodorant for ~3Euro that's so superior to Lynx.

jester77

the good old shower in a can
I used safari and musk before moving onto the green and blue gilettes!

Nowadays I use Clinique, fragrance-free... no more toxic smells!

Lol at people paying money for any of this crap in a can. Some of us just have showers

Alright in small amounts,not when you walk into a changing room after a bunch of lads have been in there and you seriously can't breathe.

I remember in school after PE the smell would actually spread around the whole feckin school!

Zombienosh

lynx is the business, Africa is the nicest, think there was one called voodoo?

i think they just rename the same smells every couple of years.

lalee17

When I was about 13 I used Africa, it really does smell like a cheap air freshener though.

bazmaiden

REmember the Chocolate one they did that was nice, but as pointed out numerous times Lynx is for teens.

Covers up the smell of want

Oh yeah, I remember this! It burnt me horrendously every time I used it :eek:

I used to love Lynx when I was younger, but I really got sick of it. Was there one called Phoenix at some point? And one called Click that smelt vaguely like citrus fruits??
