I discovered the Axe line of products while I was studying in Finland in 2001. There I was intrigued by the quite over-the-top advertisements of the company, mainly sexual innuendos that were quite funny. In 2003, again in Finland, I discovered their shower gel called "Anti-Hangover" (it bears a different name over here in Quebec and is only available since 2006).

However, I have been quite dissatisfied with the new line of deodorants, including the quite despicable AXEdry line, which seems to be made out of a mix of chalk, glue and talc, so much that it sticks to your armpit hairs like a rat to a twig in a flash flood. The stuff is so thick it literally blocks your pores, which is so NOT good. And once you've almost spent the deodorant, it crumbles off the pushing mechanism and it can stick to your bed sheets or whatever textile has the misfortune of being under at that moment.

So, by all means DON'T buy those deodorant. Stick with AXE shower gels. You'll do less damage to the environment (natural or domestic) and your body.
