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?

The bottle of perfume in the ad is HUGE it would cost about 10k to buy and last me a few weeks as the ad is stupid but the perfume is nice

I thought this advert was satire. With the mahoosive perfume bottle and pointless chanting of the perfume name at the end, it seemed more like a piss-take of every other perfume advert.

I hate this advert... totally creepy and weird. Daisy daisy daisy daisy daisy daisy - yuck

It’s definitely a creepy advert but many perfume ads are very irrelevant to the product being advertised. That huge bottle of daisy could go alongside the equally huge olay bottle on their advert.

Reminds me of The Wicker Man

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 14/12/2021 16:12

Remarkably sanitised and mundane offering for a genre which invariably produces nothing but absurdly pretentious wank.

ImmutableSexQueen · 14/12/2021 16:16

There's a film about schoolgirls getting it on by a river - can't remember the name but it's well-known. It makes me think of that.

AuntMasha · 14/12/2021 16:17

All perfume ads are creepy to me. The Calvin Klein ones in particular give me the ick.

TrueGrit54 · 14/12/2021 16:18

Perfume ads are the worst ads in the world, I find it both ridiculous and creepy, girls look like children.

LuluBlakey1 · 14/12/2021 16:19

I hate it. I hate the stupid outfits and the dancing round and the hugging and the'Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy' accompanied by inane grinning. It's loathsome and the perfume stinks- horrible stuff.

SlimeYuleBall · 14/12/2021 16:50

Those girls are very young, or made to look very young.

Male gaze bien sur.

Moaningturtle · 14/12/2021 17:06

It’s a shit weird advert and they talk like they have some sort of speech impediment at the end.

But at least it’s not on as often as the one with Jared Leto and Lana Del Rey in the supermarket.

TonTonMacoute · 14/12/2021 17:06

Yes, creepy AF

Iusedtoliveinsanfrancisco · 14/12/2021 17:07

Virginal teens in white. Very unpleasant

These people in perfume adverts, are told to act in a certain way in the ads, they probably feel stupid really,prancing around a field. They have to do what the Ad men or women say, then they get paid for the ads.

Daisy Daisy Daisy? Should be bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.

BlackCatz · 14/12/2021 18:35

Hah! Me and DH were discussing it earlier!

If anyone on here has seen the film 'Midsommar', surely you get the same vibes from this advert!

Looks like something from a cult!

Christmas1988 · 14/12/2021 18:46

Must be a good advert as we are all talking about it!

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 14/12/2021 18:48

It reminds me of the classic bad movie Manos Hands of Fate.

God yes. It totally puts me off buying it.

Happygirl79 · 14/12/2021 19:08

It's like brain washing and very annoying
It would certainly backfire with me as it would put me right off purchasing the perfume

yvonj · 14/12/2021 19:16

I think the non-restrictive wardrobe of the young girls is cutting a fine line, especially after the Epstein/Maxwell scandal.

MynameisWa · 14/12/2021 19:17

I hate this ad too

Chestnut23 · 14/12/2021 19:26

Also, this is exactly what Myrtle says in The Great Gatsby to wind Tom up, so he breaks her nose with the palm of his hand in one deft move..

@ancientgran

I doubt they are 24''. I have a 30'' waist and I'm a size 10. When I was a size 6 at my slimmest as a teen, I my waist was about 26''. At the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with being slim as long as you are healthy. We can't ask for body positivity if all it means is putting down slimmer women. I had a 23" waist as a teenager and I wasn't considered particularly thin, it was the 60s though. Weirdly I think we did have smaller waists then, I often think that even very slim girls don't have as defined a waist as we used to.
In the late 70s a size 10 was 34/24/34. There weren’t really any size 8s in normal shops. We used to wear skin tight non stretch jeans with tops tucked in and no muffin top. We weren’t unhealthy or super skinny.

The advert hasn’t struck me as creepy at all.
