from Issue 87 Hit-Boy
Axe body spray has just released their first ever luxury fragrance collection and it’s breaking the internet.

The new range has been spreading all over TikTok recently (already grabbing the attention of over three billion viewers) and it’s easy to see why. In a blind smelling test this body spray went up against three high end and well known scents: Bleu de Chanel, Versace Pour Homme, Polo Blue Ralph Lauren and it was preferred by 73% of the judges. Yet despite this, it is actually being sold at an affordable price. The spray, shower gel and deodorant stick all under $10 which proves that it doesn’t cost much to smell “fresh as fresh.”
Despite Axe’s scents not traditionally having the best reputation this new range is truly different. What makes it smell so good though?
The 20 natural essential oils used definitely help but for the most part the blending of unique flavors is what puts the icing on the cake. For example, if we’re to look at one flavor in particular (blue lavender) there are hints of orange blossom and velvety gelato with a contrasting background of vanilla and cedar wood. This beautifully comes together creating an icy cool smoothness.
Scent-Specific Details:
The Fine Fragrance Collection features five unique scents across three different categories
Blue Lavender: Icy, Clean, Smooth
• Key Fragrance Notes: Scent infused with Lavender & Mint essential oils plus Amber notes
• Scent Description: A refreshing treat made from iced lavender with a hint of mint and a cool, creamy gelato accord lead to orange blossom accord and boozy, geranium, bourbon accord. A contrasting background of warm cedarwood, addictive vanilla creme accord, sensual tonka bean and glowing amber create the ultimate scent for those yummy moments. Nothing less. Nothing more.
Furthermore, the golden mango gives us the smells of patchouli and guaiac woods, all mixed in a fruity and natural fruit cocktail. These are ingredients we don’t typically come across day to day, especially in standard deodorants. These smells are not only alluring, but their individuality adds somewhat of a sensual mystique. Fragrances sourced as far away as Italy, Morocco and Egypt further add to this glamorous appeal. The smells are just as exotic as these colorful locations and the light subtle freshness appeals to all moods and personality types.
Axe’s scientists have also ensured that this spray is kind to skin, aluminum-free and also uses two times more zinc technology to tackle body odor than their standard sprays. This attention to toughness on odor molecules means for 72 hours it is now possible to smell just as delicious as green geranium aqua bergamot or pure coconut.
Choose your favorite fast though as they’re selling like hot cakes. But for those looking for birthday gifts or to just add some spice to your daily routine, this is the essential new accessory.
