One of Axe’s finest fragrances, known as EXTREME in Argentina. Alongside EPICÈ (the yellow square), these were truly the best; the latter even returned as a limited classic edition. For me, alongside MIRAGE (the orange V with a blue dot), these three stand out as the absolute top. I never managed to find the EXTREME scent myself. Here I learn that XIRIUS bears a resemblance to it (I know the XIRIUS Rouge), so I must track one down to verify. I spent years searching for a dupe for MIRAGE, and as I mentioned, I found it in AVON BLACK SUEDE ESSENTIAL, only for them to discontinue it! It seems Axe is determined to discontinue their finest creations. It would be a brilliant idea if they put aside the new generations and returned to the classics; it appears they are not interested. Of the old line, they only retain MARINE and MUSK, though I suspect they have reformulated them. Another excellent Axe release in Argentina was FRAICHE (the green triangle), which they also discontinued without any comparable successor.
Well, since there are no reviews… this deodorant appeared in Argentina as Axe Extreme. In my view, it is a lighter version of the classic Givenchy Xeryous. I believe both have been discontinued. What a shame.
