None. No cologne or aftershave, PLEASE. And that goes for women, young and old as well.

I use unscented everything because I can't stand the lingering scent most laundry soaps, shower soaps, deodorants, shampoos, perfumes, etc etc have. And it's even worse when people smell of clashing scents - cologne, underarm deodorant, hair products.

ETA - And I am aware that some products sold as "unscented" use masking scents to hide the chemical scents of the product. I don't use those, either.

Someone convinced our youngest son that he needed to use more Axe, and he reeked of it. It made our eyes water it was so bad.

The best part of him moving out was when the stench of Axe finally faded.

since you brought up Axe:

A section of Interstate 35 in Texas
was reduced to the consistency of gravel
after a truck carrying Axe body spray exploded
due to a fire igniting the highly flammable aerosol cans.

I have never had the kind of success with after shave that was depicted in the old Hai Karate TV ads. I have used everything on the market at one time or another (I am 61 now). Nowadays I use after shave for its intended therapeutic effects. I like that stimulating "sting & a burn" after shaving. And I choose the scent for me. However..... here's a try story

About two years ago I was seeing a lady and brought several general purpose after shaves up to the place we were staying. One allegedly with pheremones in it that are supposed to "drive women wild".

None got a negative reaction but the only one that elicited an unsolicited positive reaction was Aqua Velva Musk. Cheap. Little bottle. Orange color. That stuff. So after 45 years of after shave I found ONE that reaches out.

If you liked Aramis (I did, too), try Bulgari for Men. The scent is very similar.
