I am not a big fan of expensive body sprays or deodorants, simply because you pay for the name. Some of the stuff I have tried a tester of reminds me to put the tomcat out at night. Maybe I am smelling the wrong fragrances (or tom cats!). The only expensive aftershave I like is Aramis!

However - I was pleasantly surprised by Africa Lynx by Faberge - a well known name in the world of smelling nice! My partner likes it too

The smell is not over powering, it is sweet yet with a hint of herb almost musky. Spray it in the air and you won't get the full effect. On the skin it blends really well. That always annoys me with some body sprays! I hate smelling too strongly as it makes me feel - well cheap I guess!

I have tried other Lynx products (testers) but the smell does not appeal to me like Africa Lynx. The price is decent - about £2 or so - nothing extortionate!

In addition, if you get the Lynx set you get a body spray, shower gel and aftershave lotion. The shower gel I use in the bath (cause I enjoy a nice bath during the colder weather) and it works just as well in that as well as the shower. Again the scent isn’t over powering – just right for me.

The aftershave does smell a little sweeter, so I don’t tend to plaster myself with it. A few dabs tend to be just enough. Once it has settled on the skin the sweetness dies away to leave a more musky scent.

The sets are under the £5 mark, which is reasonable. Super Drug does some good deals on this, especially towards Christmas. Keep a look out for the best deal. The superstores also occasionally join in and either knock the price down, do a two for one deal or offer points.

The container holds 150ml of spray and directions are clear and concise. There are also clear warnings about what not to do with the container. It also does not contain CFCs, which makes it friendlier towards the environment.

I use Africa daily. It is refreshing and it lasts well and smells good. It doesn't have the effect it indicates on the TV adverts but you will feel cool and confident wearing it. Be warned! Once people know you wear it you will get lots of Christmas and birthday presents that are Lynx oriented!

I don't mind at all as I go for this each time and I smell all Lynxy throughout the year!
