To be irritated by perfume adverts

[loubeylou68smellsofreindeerpoo]

I know I probably Abu but fucking stupid perfume ads, with celebs flouncing around pretending to be deep thinkers and philosophers. All whilst airbrushed to the hilt will not make me want to buy their perfume.
And don't get me started on the stupid woman who laughs because she didn't know a toothbrush manufacturer made a toothpaste.
Sorry just feeling arsey

I love them
They are an anachronism. Completely bonkers. Every year I enjoy the entertainment of the Chanel ‘Bleu’ ad. And j’adore. Bloody weird and hilarious.
It me off buying any of them so money saving too.

Was just saying this to hubby today. Why would these silly adverts make you buy the perfume. I want to know what it smells like. Not who advertises it.

The one with Johnny depp burying his rings in the dessert is my person favorite.

YANBU, why would Julia Roberts pissing about in a fountain make me want to buy scent?

They always remind me of the iconic Boddingtons advert from the early 90s.

They are all dreadful but the worst is the Miss Dior one with Natalie Portman flouncing around shouting 'PROVE IT' at her poor DP when he's just said he loves her.

I know we are supposed to think she is a strong minded, independent, feisty woman, all I can think is 'what an entitled spoilt PITA'

Oh god they're all awful. Cringeworthy. Agree about the awful Miss Dior one. The diesel ones are just shite too.

The only one I can bear is the Hugo Boss one cos Chris Hemsworth is on it 😜

They are brilliantly bonkers. Wasn’t there a film where the main character was trying to pitch a perfume advert and was completely bizarre.

Takes the piss brilliantly

There's been an amusingly irate recent thread on the dopey ad for Some Perfume where Natalie Portman is Wild and Kerrazy Free Spirit, jumping off the pier, running through the shallows in a ballgown, cavorting on a balcony with a bloke while wearing the Inevitable Pristine Man's Shirt in front of the Inevitable View of the Eiffel Tower (presumably in case we think she's in Illinois or Stevenage) and then looking us straight in the eye and saying 'What would YOU do for love?'

Oh, nothing, obviously. Because we're just too banal to drive around in our pink cars so that the tyremarks write LOVE on the sand in cutesy handwriting. We worry about paying the bills and forget to pack our ballgowns for the beach. Our lives are tragic and we will all die alone, Natalie.

Though my favourite perfume ad may be the one where Keira Knightley zooms about on a motorbike wearing what appears to be a giant slim-fit condom.

Yeah they are so pretentious! I love perfume and own stupid amounts of it but don’t think I’ve bought a single one because of a tv ad. I am more susceptible to still perfume ads in magazine etc.

oh yes I hate these too! Can't believe they make so much money.

I like them in a funny way though. I can’t imagine how perfume could be otherwise advertised. A cillit bang style advert probably wouldn’t work either.

Love them and their silliness. If you're flogging some pleasantly scented water you have to go a bit beyond 'buy this pleasantly scented water please'.

Why would these silly adverts make you buy the perfume. I want to know what it smells like. Not who advertises it.

And yet they clearly do work. Most fashion houses make most of their dosh from perfume sales. The research must show that these ads, that could probably fund a feature film, are really effective.

OMG Anasnake... that twitter thread

PerfumeAdsForSale are offering to hire whoever wrote Lacoste's latest offering.

I don't know if they're offering to hire the writer of the blurb on the Very website, or for the ad.

Either one is WTF bonkers.

Lacoste Lacoste L'Homme Intense 100ml Eau De Toilette

L'Homme Lacoste Intense stands out with its winning temperament. Its tenacity and boldness are the keys to its success and charisma, the source of its distinctive seductive power.

The top notes unite delicious quince and rhubarb, enhanced with a zest of mandarin and orange. At the heart of the fragrance, spices swirl together to form an intensely energetic cocktail: vibrant black pepper, ginger and jasmine burst forth, barely mellowed by a drizzle of almond. Here we find all the strength and vivacity that characterize the famous crocodile.

The base notes team up power and masculinity. Dominant cedarwood and akigalawood notes take on a touch of exoticism brought by amber and vanilla. Vetiver and cypriol roots add an extra dose of intensity, body and seduction that make L'Homme Lacoste Intense an unique male fragrance.

Actually the twitter thread made me think perhaps they should hire celeste barber for an ad

The one with Jennifer Lawrence floating around in a swimming pool with a gormless expression sends me into stitches. They're so pretentious it's hilarious.

I'm with you OP, perfume ads are awful and so pretentious they are cringeworthy.

having said I hate them, I just looked up the Jen L one and it's okay - and decent music.

I was thinking more of the long boring ones I guess.

Celeste Barber ad would be awesome. I hate perfume ads. I don't wear perfume (am quite groomed and girly in other ways, just never 'got' perfume) and they are such a load of nonsense they make my teeth grind.

Where's the perfume for the woman who stumbles out of bed with panda eyes and searches the jar for the last dregs of instant coffee while her kids argue over who gets to eat their cereal out of the blue bowl?

They are like weird mini movies that make no sense and the models/celebs are so airbrushed they look like aliens

Funny how they go for the Oscar winners but the moment you put them in a perfume advert they lose any ability to act.
