Trend Hunter recently featured the [Axe Unleash the Chaos campaign commercial](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anarchy-unleash-the-chaos) and now here are the follow-up print ads, which also promote the brand's new fragrance Axe Anarchy For Him + For Her.

Created by ad agency [BBH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devoured-campaign), the Axe Unleash the Chaos print ads follow the same premise as the TV spot, which rests on the notion that using Axe's Anarchy scent -- a [body spray fragrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lower-body-spray) that comes in both a men's and women's version -- will "unleash the chaos" because both sexes won't know what hit them. They will be experience a magnetic attraction to each other and be "struck senseless by the Axe effect," as Fastco.Create describes. Over the years, Axe has built a fun brand image based on offering men scents that women just can't resist -- and now men can't resist them on women either. It's a great way to get the attention of both sexes.
