Where to buy

UK health and beauty chains list it each autumn. Stock usually drops in October and sells down before December. Outside the UK, search Axe gift sets instead.

Common questions

Is Lynx the same as Axe?: Yes. Unilever sells the brand as Lynx in the UK and Ireland. It is Axe in most other markets.
Can I buy it in the US?: UK sets are rarely stocked there. Resellers may ship them, but aerosols face shipping limits.
When does it go on sale?: Usually in early autumn. Popular sets can sell out by late November.
