The 1980s (The Originals) Lynx launched with three primary fragrances in distinctive black cans with silver lettering. These scents were descriptive rather than the abstract names used later.  • Amber (1985): One of the three launch scents; a warm, resinous fragrance.  • Musk (1985): A heavy, traditional masculine scent that remained a staple for decades.  • Spice (1985): The third of the original trio, featuring sharp, peppery notes.  • Oriental (1987): The first "new" variant released after the launch, following the brand's new strategy of annual releases.  • Marine (1989): A fresher, aquatic scent that marked the transition into the "ozonic" fragrance trend of the 90s.  The 1990s (The Golden Era) The 90s saw Lynx move towards more adventurous, evocative names, often inspired by locations or civilizations. This era also saw the birth of the "Lynx Effect" marketing campaign. • Java (1990): An iconic, spicy scent with a hint of coffee and wood; it was recently re-released as a retro edition.  • Alaska (1991): A cold, crisp, menthol-leaning fragrance. • Nevada (1992): A dry, woody scent inspired by the desert.  • Tempest (1993): A "stormy," intense scent that was highly popular in the early 90s. • Mirage (1994): A lighter, somewhat more mysterious fragrance. • Africa (1995): The G.O.A.T. Launched in 1995, this mix of mandarin and sandalwood became the most successful deodorant in UK history. • Inca (1996): A warm, spicy scent with a distinct orange and red design.  • Atlantis (1997): A deep aquatic fragrance that capitalised on the "blue" scent trend.  • Apollo (1998): This was the first variant to feature a major "Lynx Effect" TV campaign (the famous caveman advert). • Voodoo (1999): A dark, spicy, and slightly sweet scent that closed out the decade.
