SHOPPERS have spotted a brand new Lynx body spray on the shelves - and they don't know what to think. |Is it madness or is it magic? With the unmistakeable smell of rugged umami, you might think: maybe he’s born with it, or maybe it’s… Marmite? It’s one better, it’s our latest obsession: Lynx Africa Marmite. The scent of the two products is said to contain “aromatic notes of lavandin, white moss, and green herbs, along with woody profiles of creamy sandalwood and cedarwood – unexpectedly met with a slightly salty punch of Marmite”. To celebrate pride month, Lynx has created a Unity Pride Limited Edition Body Spray, also on sale at Superdrug.

Cult British spread brand Marmite has teamed up with genre-defining body spray brand Lynx ( Axe in the US and overseas) to release a limited-edition deodorant and body wash that combines the scent of Lynx Africa with the flavour personality of Marmite. Another wrote: "Great at repelling werewolves - far more effective than mustard powder or vinegar." Jamie Brooks, Lynx Brand Manager said: ‘By combining two iconic legends that have shaped dating and breakfast culture across the nation, we have created a product like no other that is sure to get lovers and haters spreading the news.

I can't even imagine how this will smell, especially on the sweaty adolescents who typically overspray Lynx (or Axe as we brand it here in the USA). At face value it sounds disgusting. But kudos to them for being imaginative and taking a chance! Of the new products, Lynx brand manager commented, “By combining two iconic legends that have shaped dating and breakfast culture across the nation, we have created a product like no other that is sure to get lovers and haters spreading the news … We’ve created the scent for all the lovers, whether that’s Lynx or Marmite, but with the controversial nature of the spread, believe it also might help in keeping the haters at arm’s length”.

One fan reviewed it, saying: "Tentatively bought this deodorant. However, now that I'm using it on a regular basis, what a lovely combo of the two scents. Although, it’s worth pointing out that noodle lovers can still get the beloved plastic pots, as the new variation will sit alongside the original ones. Pot Noodle announced earlier this week that it would be ditching its signature pot, for new cheaper and greener ‘potless’ noodles.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ So....I have grown up on Lynx. I used to wear Alaska, Oriental, Nevada, Java....etc etc... all the great 80's & 90's ones and to be honest 1995's Africa kinda marked the time I'd started to grow up, and out of Lynx. So therefore I'm not that nostalgic about that particular release. The Lynx Africa and Marmite Limited Edition Body Spray has spotted on the shelves and it's got shoppers divided. Anyway, I do LOVE Marmite and think that the distinctive smell and flavour of Marmite could lend itself to other applications, deodorant isn't really one I've ever considered but when I saw this on shelves, I had to have it.
