I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing since cologne was invented.
FWIW I went to high school in the early-mid 00s, and during those days, it wasn’t cologne - it was Axe body spray. My friends and I would joke about there being ads in the future similar to the, “Did you work at such-and-such and develop mesothelioma? You may be entitled to compensation.” Except instead of asbestos filling your lungs and giving you a disease, it’s Axe. That crap was in the air perpetually.
It was always Lynx/Axe Africa as well
Oh god, the smell of the middle school side of the building... it was putrid. Axe mixed with with misted body odor from the boys who had gym in the morning.
