I’m getting increasingly baffled by perfume adverts

I know it’s supposed to be showing the luxurious lifestyle that will instantly be yours if you squirt some on, but surely it would be nice to know what it actually smells like ? I realise a scent is hard to describe, but they could have a go - floral, musky, citrus, woody, at least give us a clue !

The Natalie Portman one where she says, very aggressively, ‘What would YOU do for love?’ after dancing annoyingly on the table where her boyfriend is peacefully trying to read a book, driving around in a floral headscarf, and jumping into the sea, while wearing some expensive sun dresses always makes me want to say ‘Calm down, love’. At least in the last ad for the same perfume she got to drive the word ‘love’ into the sand on a beach in fancy script.

It’s like that one with Natalie Portman and some guy driving a car around the beach.

looks like the ultimate toxic relationship, but because she’s wearing Chanel, it’s desirable

Snap. My only takeaway from that ad is ‘Natalie Portman’s character is annoying, and I’d go nuclear if someone kept dancing winsomely on the table where I was trying to read’.

I’m going to google all these ads
I don’t watch TV so I have no clue what you all talking about but sounds funny

Honestly though, women buy this stuff, not men. I would be willing to bet the CEOs raking in the money are all men and think their advertisements that they spend billions on are driving sales, when really it's our desire to have men who don't smell like the great unwashed.

I'd actively judge anyone who rushed out to buy Savage because a wife beater is it's face.

The one with Emma Watkins, i bloody hate it, cant remember most of it as i dive for the remote when it comes on. I think its for Prada.

"Why should i be defined i am me" or some other stupid bollocks. She is a terrible actress, and that advert is the worst.
