To support the re-launch of the Axe product range, BBH London has created a campaign that rewrites history.

Soulmates is a 90-second spot based on the idea that the new Axe, which includes an upgraded fragrance property and revamped packaging, allows guys to transform their fortunes and determine their own fate.

The rules of seduction have changed in this new ad, with sentiment replacing the comedy found in previous campaigns. A love story unfolds, showing a man travelling through the ages in the hope of winning over a beautiful girl, before returning to the modern-day moment and talking to her.

While it’s implied that Axe continues to help men succeed in the game of attraction, the new campaign adopts a more progressive approach – following two soulmates, through the ages.

Read our interview with the spot's creative director Gary McCreadie here.
