Creepy Marc Jacobs 'daisy' advert

Has anyone seen this terrifying advert? It gives cult vibes. And the way the echo 'daisy' at the end gives me the creeps! Has anyone else seen it?

Yes, I think it’s weird, too.

Puppylucky · 29/11/2020 08:32

Yes I hate it! It reminds me of the film Midsomer - also very creepy!

bagelbaby · 29/11/2020 08:34

I thought it was just me who thought this. Creepy. They don't look happy or nourished

Agreed, it's sinister. I really, really dislike it but can't quite work out why.

I love it. I was thinking of buying Daisy because of this. So different to other perfume ads. No glam, no OTT make up, no ridiculous fashion statements, no stupid stunts, no men, no sex , no opulent settings. I love the simplicity and pureness of it.

I hate it! Wonder how much money was wasted on it too!

Actually wanted to buy daisy gift set as a gift and this advert stopped me I hate it so much

clpsmum · 29/11/2020 09:22

Who thought let's pay candy Crawford daughter and a couple of other models shit loads of money to sit in a field and say daisy that will work ffs. Gives me the rage just thinking about it!

You must know some old looking 12 years marmite! They don’t look undernourished at all, Jesus no wonder we have such an obesity problem in this country!

SenorFrog · 29/11/2020 09:24

Every perfume ad in the history of perfume ads has been tucking stupid. IMHO, lol

SenorFrog · 29/11/2020 09:25
  • I clearly meant fucking stupid!

I really, really dislike it but can't quite work out why.

Because 18/19 yr olds don't tend to run around in fields & play with flowers wearing the same dress as their friends whilst hugging them unless they are in cult.

IDontMindMarmite · 29/11/2020 09:25

One is 16, the others are older but they're prancing around like young schoolgirls. Do you know any adults who behave like that?

frustrationcentral · 29/11/2020 09:27

Yes I hate it! Also hated that other perfume advert that was on over the summer - lots of people saying perfect?

questionn · 29/11/2020 09:27

Do you know any adults who behave like that?

exactly

LizziesTwin · 29/11/2020 09:28

They aren’t adults & it’s an ad. I’d assume it was a perfume aimed at teenage girls, not adults.

questionn · 29/11/2020 09:29

Do you know teenage girls who act like that?

SusannaSpider · 29/11/2020 09:29

Just 12 year old looking girls.

I just assumed that was their target market for Daisy? DD was bought some as a present when she was around that age.
Perfume adverts are always batshit though, DH gets fed up of me wtfing at them.

juliainthedeepwater · 29/11/2020 09:32

I don’t find it creepy, but do find the try-hardness of it makes me cringe almost out of my skin. It’s one of those ads which I can’t watch without thinking of the table of ad execs who created it. Probably thinking they were creating something oddly charming and darkly whimsical. Shudder.

MoonElk · 29/11/2020 09:32

Look healthy to me, just slim. Not every woman is 'curvy'.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 29/11/2020 09:32

Ha! Watched it yesterday and too thought it was strange. As if they were playing like children.

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 29/11/2020 09:32

I thought it was just me who found it creepy. It reminds me of Picnic at Hanging Rock.

CastleOfDoom · 29/11/2020 09:33

It is sinister and cult like, they look like they've been given something too 🤪
