We see a guy of about 18 at his home, taking a shower with a pink soap. He then goes out and we see him driving a truck with a church attached to it around the city trying to marry all the girls he meets but all of them run away from him. He returns home disappointed and, while he is taking a shower, he realises that the women’s soap he is using made him think like a woman.

New Rexona Skin Care – PAPER DOLL CAMPAIGN
A paper doll comes to life and starts choosing what to wear. She tries some dresses on that she doesn’t like so she throws them away. Her underarm skin starts getting damaged, and her armpits rip while she struggles with the paper clothing. She finally chooses one dress and she realised how deteriorated her underarm skin is. Then she finds the solution in a magazine where we can read: “You know your underarm skin can get damaged. We know how to take care of it. New Rexona Skin Care, the line that helps your skin to keep itself healthy”.
The paper doll is running on a record player. First she has a smile on her face and moves her arms with great enthusiasm, but then she starts getting tired, sweating and her underarm skin starts getting red. She tries to stop the record player but she can’t reach the handle and she finally slips and falls.
We see the paper doll sitting on a hair brush, wrapped with a towel. She observes her underarm skin at the mirror and she notice that they are very red. The doll stands up with her arms on her waist and she kicks the razor. The razor doesn’t move but the dolls foot really hurt. “You know that shaving can damage your underarm skin. We know how to take care of it. New Rexona Skin Care, the line that helps your skin to keep itself healthy”
The paper doll is reading a book and protecting herself from the lamp with a paper parasol. She closes the parasol and puts on her glasses. She continues her reading but she feels the heat coming from this lamp and tries to fan some air with her hand. Her cheeks start getting red and so does her underarm skin. Finally the paper doll turns off the light.

Impulse Summer Splash – SEAWEEDS
We are on the deep sea. A young man is feeding some fishes that are swimming near him when a pretty girl goes behind him. He smells her and turns around to follow the smell and sees her leaving. He immediately starts running to a seaweeds store. He grabs a bouquet, gives money to the owner and runs after the girl. He reaches her and gives her the seaweeds. We hear a voice-over saying: If suddenly someone you don´t know gives you seaweeds, this is Impulse Summer Splash, the new water resistant fragrance. She takes the bouquet smiling, and while they are standing close together on the deep sea, the camera cut to the packshot.

New Axe Play 2010 – SOFAURUS
Three male friends are watching a televised football match sitting on a sofa. The particular aspect is that this sofa is actually the body of one of them, a sort of centaur with a human torso and a sofa body.
As soon as the match finishes, the friends leave and the sofa-man begins to get ready for a moment of seduction. He takes off his shirt, showers, cleans the pillows and sprays his body with deodorant. Finally, we see that he places himself in the bedroom and unfolds a bed which becomes his body. We see that the bed unfolds with two beautiful women on it which had been stored away inside him and they gaze seductively at the sofa- man. At this point we hear: “Because as soon as you stop thinking about football, you start thinking about women again. New Axe Play 2010.”

New Axe Dry Sensitive – WINGS OF GLORY
The commercial shows, with irony, the rivalry between two men over a woman.
When two very masculine pilots who are taking off from an aircraft carrier using only their arms spread out like wings to fly with, start to compete as they are watched by a sensual female instructor. But the speed and the acrobatics becomes too much for one of them, as a strong discomfort in one of his armpits compels him to scratch and he falls, inevitably, into the water. Demonstrating thus that armpit irritation reduces the power of seduction and the new Axe Dry Sensitive is the answer to this.

Rexona for men – ZOMBIES
Months before the World Cup begins, football fans begin to suffer from the anxiety of wanting to hear that initial whistle. The story – a parody of typical zombie movies – depicts how football fans become zombies because of the World Cup but, instead of roaming around the streets to the shout of “brain”, they do so to the shout of “football”. The idea is to draw a parallel in the behavior of zombies and of men during World Cup season.

A tough lumberjack is chopping down a tree. As he rearranges his cap, we notice at the same time he does that his underarm begins to song a sweet song. The corny melody is really annoying him.

Finally, one of them applies the New Rexona Men Sensitive and succeeds in shutting up the underarm voice. A male voice in off says: New Rexona Men Sensitive.
