One of Axe’s best fragrances, known as EXTREME in Argentina. Along with EPICEÈ (the yellow square), these were top-tier; EPICEÈ even returned as a limited classic. For me, it ranks alongside MIRAGE (V Orange with a blue dot) as one of the three best. I never found EXTREME here until learning XIRIUS is similar (I know XIRIUS Rouge), so I need to try it. I spent years searching for a Mirage dupe and finally found AVON BLACK SUEDE ESSENTIAL, but they discontinued it! Axe seems determined to kill off their best scents. It would be great if they focused less on new releases and returned to classics, but it looks like they don’t care. They only keep MARINE and MUSK, though I suspect they reformulated them. Another Argentine gem was FRAICHE (green triangle), which is also gone with no equal replacement.

Well, since there are no reviews… this deodorant launched in Argentina as Axe Extreme. In my opinion, it’s a lighter version of the classic Givenchy Xeryous. I believe both are discontinued. What a shame.
