Lynx became popular among younger generations as a body spray and later expanded into other personal care products. Its advertising portrays women finding men irresistible if they use Lynx, aiming to attract teenage and young adult male customers looking to get attention from potential partners. Originally starting in France in 1983 and later the UK, Lynx has grown to become the top male grooming brand in the UK through developing new scents and perfecting its branding over 25 years.
