Lynx (popularly known as Axe in South Africa) recently announced the new “warm zesty intensity” of their best-selling Africa fragrance “combined with the savory scent of mouth-watering Marmite”.
About Lynx’s Marmite scented body spray
Yes, it’s said that Lynx Africa Marmite is a first class aerosol that refreshes your skin and provides 48-hour odour protection.
“And what’s best the irresistible fragrance of Africa Marmite is suitable for him, for her, for all the lovers. Love or hate it, get your limited edition deodorant now for an alluring fragrance and long-lasting freshness.”
The company reportedly wanted to step it up a notch when it comes to getting people talking.
“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 on The Money Show with Bruce Whitfield. “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.”
Of course, the internet is a bit divided over the situation.
In short supply
Earlier this year it was reported by Marmite’s manufacturer that they can no longer produce large jars of the brown, sticky paste.
“Marmite is made from yeast extract – a crucial ingredient that’s a by-product of beer brewing. And with brewers slowing or stalling production after pubs and restaurants were forced to close in March, it’s now in short supply.”
It’s reported that the news was unearthed by a Marmite devotee on Twitter, who tweeted the brand to ask why they were struggling to track down 400g squeezy packs of the spread. Explaining that brewer’s yeast was in short supply, the company confirmed that stock levels were being affected, adding: “As a temporary measure we have stopped production of all sizes apart from our 250g size jar which is available in most major retailers.”
