The first axe aftershave, which I really liked
A few years ago I started to put my Axe body sprays in a showcase. Over the years, the initially small selection has developed into an impressive collection of more than 500 cans from all parts of the world. In the course of time I also started to collect Axe/ Lynx brand aftershaves.
I found the oldest scent variations from the early 80s to be very unpleasant old men's scents, which attracted attention with an exuberant musk or amber scent.
For me, as a teenager at that time, an absolute No-Go.
I had to pick up these old aftershave flacons as a real collector anyway.
When I bought my first Axe Mirage Aftershave, I adjusted to an unpleasantly oppressive men's scent according to my previous experiences with the older Axe scents. I was all the more surprised when I opened the bottle and a pleasantly fresh, somewhat aquatic fragrance flowed towards me.
Applied as a test on the skin, my first impression did not deteriorate at all.
Among the older Axe variations, this was the first one I really liked.
It is a pity that the fragrance has not been produced for some time and that Axe Mirage is extremely rarely offered on Internet platforms. So I am very frugal with this aftershave and use it at most few times per year.
Surprisingly, the once low-priced aftershave hasn't changed in the almost 20 years since production, so hopefully it will still smell the same in 10 years.
I couldn't find a similar scent anywhere so far. But I'm still searching!

I can only agree with this. As a teenager, I had this variety Mirage favorite, because the scent was Fougere and spicy-fresh without being too harsh. Had the series of it, so shower gel, deodorant, after shave and roll-on. Unfortunately, there is no longer. The scent is supposed to be similar to Hero by Fabergé, which is also no longer made. But have compared it and according to my memory it is unfortunately only remotely similar to Mirage. Would be nice if a vendor would remix it. Think some would stock up on it because there is no similar fragrance yet. Unfortunately, the fragrance notes are also not listed here, which would make it possibly difficult to rebuild the fragrance.
