The little head nod she does when she says that line makes me want to throw my tv out the window.. I’m no marketing expert but I’m fairly sure that’s not the reaction they wanted

I'm surprised clicky fingers one isn't back on yet.

I love perfume ads!! I love the over the top drama. At least they are not boring.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 14/11/2018 23:16

One of the few perfume ads I like was the Prada Candy with Lea Seydoux.

Graphista · 14/11/2018 23:20

The thing that repeatedly pisses me off is the number of the celebs who are selling perfumes (applies to other products too actually, but as we're on the subject) who are ALSO SUPPOSEDLY vegetarian, vegan, peta supporters etc and yet they're selling products that are guess what?

Not cruelty free.

And ms portman has been very vocal on animal rights Hmm

StubbleTurnips · 14/11/2018 23:28

All perfume ads are pissing awful. I’m yet to see one that even entices me to sniff one.

CheddarIsNotTheOnlyCheese · 14/11/2018 23:34

I hate the D&G one with Emilia Clarke. Its mega cringey. Her facial expressions are weird. Her eyebrows have a life of their own. She is stunning and I love her in GOTS.

ComtesseDeSpair · 14/11/2018 23:45

As a PP said, it’s that the song is so incongruous. Chandelier isn’t about love of romance. It’s an awesome song but not for selling beauty or perfume.

ComtesseDeSpair · 14/11/2018 23:47

love *or romance

pickingdaisies · 14/11/2018 23:48

So who else apart from me asks "Do you want a flake in that, love?" Every time a stupid perfume ad comes on the telly?
And can anyone tell me what beer advert it came from? Racking my brains here.

ComtesseDeSpair · 14/11/2018 23:48

The cinematography of the ad is actually pretty good. But awful portrayal of what “love” should be and how we should act if out.

Orchiddingme · 14/11/2018 23:54

I think the beer ad was Boddingtons.

The perfume ad with Jennifer Lawrence Dior with her red lipstick in a swimming pool is hilarious. My dd asked me if it was a spoof the first time we saw it, but we decided it wasn't.

alltoomuchrightnow · 14/11/2018 23:59

Boddingtons with Melanie Sykes

Look at you, look at me, look at you, look at me.

Henrysmycat · 15/11/2018 04:06

But I love the Coco with Keira Knightly. She’s impossibly beautiful with impossibly amazing clothes in impossibly gorgeous surroundings where she has a (maybe?) one night stand and fucks-off in the morning with not a backwards glance.
The walk of shame but with better clothes, makeup and shagbuddy.

BlancheM · 15/11/2018 09:13

I have to admit that I secretly love the Gisele one for Chanel

Perfectpeony · 15/11/2018 09:21

I don’t think the Dior advert with Charlize Theron is too painful. Sometimes I like to walk around and practice my strutting. Smile

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 15/11/2018 09:36

This is fun.

Still din't like the perfume it's for.

Turquoisebra · 15/11/2018 09:36

Natalie Portman is the most overrated actress ever. Literally every time she does anything I’m just thinking how hard she’s trying to act, which I’m pretty sure is not the intended effect. She’s also incredibly pleased with herself whenever I’ve heard her being interviewed or giving a speech or whatever.

pickingdaisies · 15/11/2018 09:42

Thank you and thank you, alltoomuch and shenumpty, that's made my day. 'Ere, Tarquin!' Grin

Willow2017 · 15/11/2018 09:55

The new J'Adore one is even worse.

Why is she the only one in the bloody bath? Why does she have a bevy of scantily clad women all around the pool?

Why do they all follow her?
Wtaf is it about? Some ad execs wet fucking dream??

And where does all the older perfumes that didnt sell go? Is there a huge warehouse somewhere in France with boxes and boxes of unused crap 'famous celebs own designed' perfume?)

madnessIsay · 15/11/2018 11:18

The Candy one reminds me of the killing Eve scene (I thought it seemed familiar)

missmouse101 · 15/11/2018 11:24

Yes op! I also want to scream at it. So smug and infuriating!
