Axe is known for its seductive fragrances and packaging and over the years the brand has established itself as one of the leading male grooming brands in the world. The Axe lineup includes deodorant, hair gel and shower gel.

Axe's so called seductive fragrances and sexy packaging of these products is marketed through their also provocative advertising.

Axe has award-winning "Axe Effect" ads and marketing that range from traditional television commercials always portraying "the guy getting the girl" and what we like to call the "dating and mating game" all the way to a female Axe Patrol that visits bars and clubs, frisking guys and applying body spray and now bath towels.

Axe is continuing their marketing through nontraditional media via towels with provocative messaging. This message, as with many other Axe Effect advertising techniques need not include any words at all!
