The AXE FIFA World Cup fragrance collection is a limited-edition body spray range created to celebrate the brand's sponsorship of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The collection comprises three scents—Marshmallow Smoke, White Vetiver and Indigo Haze—each developed by professional perfumers with distinct fragrance profiles. Marshmallow Smoke combines vanilla, hazelnut, dark musk, ambrette and coconut water, while White Vetiver and Indigo Haze introduce earthy and aromatic compositions built around patchouli, cedarwood, lavender and amber notes.
The collection reflects the growing trend of layering fragrances for different occasions through contrasting scent profiles. To mark the launch, AXE hosted its House of Fresh activation near Estadio Azteca in Mexico, featuring live match screenings, pool parties and fragrance workshops exploring the composition of the new scents.
