Axe (aka 'Lynx') deodorant has a new scent - 'Africa and Marmite' (not kidding)
Every week The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield asks branding and advertising expert Andy Rice to share with him the week’s advertising “heroes” or “zeroes”.
This week, Rice critiqued Lynx deodorant’s new, uh, “Africa and Marmite” scent.
“We’ve decided to step it up another notch by collaborating with one of the most polarising and iconic brands in the UK – Marmite,” said Lynx Brand Lead Jamie Brooks.
“With Lynx Marmite, we’re bringing the world of food into the fragrance category with a pairing no one knew they needed. Love it or hate it, it’s guaranteed to get the country talking, and is definitely one for the lovers.”
Say what?!
Rice, rather surprisingly, some may argue, gave it a "hero" rating.
Are you a Marmite man or a Bovril man, Bruce?

It is serious. It’s on the shelves already in the UK.
