Yes you can, I've seen it. Old Spice was worse though.

lynx has to be the product of a few million gnats - all flavours are disgusting.

there was a bloke on the bus today who came up to the top deck, said hi to everybody, sprayed the place with Lynx & then lit up! total loony

I was only trying to make a nice gesture.

Lucky you didn't set the bus on fire, Kinny. Now I, being a man of class and distinction, would have sprayed the bus with Acqua di Parma. To cover up the smell of Bass.

Acqua di Parma.

Mmmmm.

The great smell of ham.

I use Lynx De-oderant, and a nice aftershave. Sorry, Debbie!

Hope it doesn't put off the Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells Ladies!

it;s not actually USING the stuff, Simon, it's how much you use! Some people drench themselves in scent, deodorant, perfume etc. You must have come across one of those women who walk past in a thermo-nuclear cloud of Poison, Opium or some other powerful perfume. We used to have a female boss who wore Poison (appropriately enough) and you knew when she entered the building cos you could smell the advance warning of the perfume!

personally, I wear perfume - usually Organza by Givenchy, or Lush's Flying Fox balm. Sometimes I blend my own with essential oils. But my rule is less is more.

Having said all that, B.O. and unwashed sweaty people are just disgusting. I spent a Metro journey in |Paris trying not to inhale because of a man nearby who should have come with a health warning.

and the gym/exercise room where I used to work always smelt of sweaty feet EEEW

It's well known that the French don't use enough soap.
