I have been using perfumes and deodorants for many years. The greatest nightmare I had was going for a meeting without wearing any deo. Having lived abroad for quite sometime, I have had the opportunity to use some of the best brands including burberry, Bvlgari, cK etc. it was easier wearing them on a regular basis as long as the salary was in foreign currency.
Back in India (with phatichar pay) I had to find a way to continue with my obsession with smelling good. Though I still do pick up perfumes from esprit, cK etc, it makes me feel guilty when I take a shower with it-yes, I like a lot of it on me :-). So, I found the ultimate solution-AXE deo-Denim. I love it.
Its reasonably priced, has a large range (though my first preference remains Denim). Trust me, the fragrance lasts till I reach home late in the evening. The fragrance kinda lingers on to my shirt. I am sure it has a "Amul Macho Effect" on our maid LOL! Despite taking showers everyday, I am still waiting for any girl to bite me or pinch my bum :-(
