Advantages: smells gorgeous, it is gentle and doesnt take moisture form the skin.

Disadvantages: cant think of any

When it comes to choosing men's toiletries my husband is very laid back about the whole process. he likes to smell good but tends to stick to the same deodorants and toiletries that he has used for ages. There is nothing wrong with this but every now and again I like to gently suggest that maybe he should try a new fragrance or brand. He usually just says well have a smell next time you go shopping and surprise me. which can also be interpreted as I cant be bothered to choose myself so as long as you like it then ill wear it!!!!
Last month after a good browsing session around the men's deodorant and toiletry isle I came across lynx Africa shower gel. This is what I thought.:

The packaging
The packaging is very masculine and minimalist. I would say the shape of the bottle is more impressive than the actual logo. I love the way the bottle nips in half way up in order for the user to be able to maintain a good grip of the product in the shower. It also has ridges going up both sides of the bottle I think this is to stop it slipping out of your wet hands when showering. The bottle itself is black plastic (great for recycling). the front of the bottle has the word lynx going vertically up the bottle. There are then just three stripes through the lettering in red and green colours. The packaging hardly screams out exciting but to me I think it represents in its simplicity its masculinity and I found this quite sexy.
The smell
The smell is so sexy and very masculine. It is quite heavy and smells both sensual and quite exotic. there is a hint of fruitiness to the scent but its also quite earthy and woody also. The main thing about the smell as far as Jim concerned is it is gorgeous and
when my hubby is showering, the aroma of this shower gel fills the whole of the upstairs. The scent also lingers on his skin and I can catch a waft for a couple of hours after he's used it.
The gel
The gel is red in colour and quite thin in texture. My husband sometimes suffers from dry skin on his elbows and he has definitely seen a marked improvement from using this over the last month. He tells me that it is also quite gentle on the skin and not at all irritating or harsh. He also uses this gel on his hair and says that it leaves his hair feeling really clean. You also only need to put a small drizzle on the sponge to get a good lather with this gel. Which means that it has lasted him the month and there is still a bit left. ( and he showers every day).
In conclusion I would say that I am glad I bought this for my hubby, It is gorgeous smelling and leaves him feeling fresh and clean. So we are both really happy with this product and I would certainly recommend it.

Summary: This is a gorgeous smelling gel for a man who likes to smell like a man.
