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

But rather the piss poor Cate Blanchett etc than any ad that has models dancing. Dancing models. Just no.

Ive always thought that Kiera Knightly one looks weird. Her arse looks unnaturally huge whilst on the bike. Definitely padded out. I have a love hate relationship i think.

They always have a celeb breaking through a wall. I just don't understand why they need to make them so full of clichés but I guess you can't just have a voice explaining the scent.

And the whispering...and then the SHOUTING but then the whispering again, but then MORE SHOUTING etc ETCETERA

Saw this on FB.

The one with Nicole Kidman acting a bit nuts was really weird ‘I LOVE to dance’ their was a great sketch years ago i’ll Try and link.

*there was

I miss the totally surreal chanel no. 5 ad that had the model and the pool with the airplane overhead. All through my childhood it signified that it was almost Christmas! Any time I see an actor in a perfume ad I immediately think they must be short of cash.

Yes the Nicole one really set the bar for awful perfume ads. Haven't seen it in a while but from memory she is waving her arms about on a rooftop somewhere in full evening dress then turns to camera, pouts and giggles/simpers 'I'm a dancer'.

Embarrassingly batshit.

I shouted at that toothpaste ad, last night. Asked if she'd been living under a rock, as there's adverts about it in all the bloody time!

Anyone remember the Denim advert?
Long fingernailed woman sliding her hand down a man's denim shirt then tantalizingly going to undo a button before he stops her?
Adverts are all about recall. Crap as they may be, we remember them.
Question is, does it make us want to buy?
My ideal would be to see the hand tying the handles of a bin sack as he puts it in the wheelie bin. Now any aftershave that makes a bloke take the bin out is good for me!

I do indeed remember the Denim ad, with the hairy chest and the long red fingernails. And even as a child, the meaning was clear- wear this aftershave and you’re going to be irresistible

Today’s adverts just baffle me

How much do you think these people get paid for being in the adverts?

I hate the one where Cate Blanchet mimes emotions for SI.

Embarrassing.

There was one a while ago with a man spraying himself whilst women watched and fainted. No idea what he was selling but I'll have him thanks
My worst ad at the moment is the girl with bad skin who's tried everything: Honey, garlic, toothpaste... Who knew that the only thing that would actually work was skin cream?! Amazing.

I'm a complete perfume nut, but I am with you on perfume ads.

They're cringeworthy and rarely 'go' with the fragrance. What has Charlize Theron dripping in gold got to do with the soapy white floral that is J'Adore, for example?

Bloody odd. I also wonder if there are really people who watch an ad and go and buy the perfume off the back of it? presumably there must be millions of people. But it seems very strange. 'Oh, Johnny Depp garbling some nonsense on a hilltop...I must buy some Dior Sauvage for DH this year'.

Me and DH burst out laughing at one the other day, can’t remember who makes it but it’s called Profumo. Yes, I know it means perfume, but that’s not what springs to mind or indeed google first

The Oral B one is just ridiculous
'I didn't realise that a company that makes dental accessories makes toothpaste!'
Idiot.
I'm meh about the perfume ones they're all pretty much the same.

The ad I hate the most is the (?) Muller rice one where she's 'adorably' ditzy and gets it on her nose from doing something ridiculous. I want to dunk her face it the pot properly.

@Anasnake you have made my life with that twitter feed!!

There was a thread recently about it on here and someone wrote a hilarious comment along the lines of how its painfully obvious its men on coke or something or another who come up with these ads lol. Someone please find the comment because i cant!

If i had to do a perfume advert...it would be black and white, it would have jason momoa in full Khal Drogo hair and makeup but totally naked on a horse, galloping on a beach...Then a volcano erupts in the background..the only colour in this whole ad will be the orange lava spewing up (think mount doom in lord of the rings)....cut to Khal Drogo looking back at volcano and suddenly naked long haired Chris hemsworth is sitting in the horse too, behind Khal....

To be fair, even if you are a good actress, it must be quite difficult to do a perfume advert. They’ve probably got a load of ad people shouting “Be more ditzy! More sexy! Channel your inner porcupine!” while they’re pretending to cross the road or dance in fountains.

I love that the new Carolina Herrrera perfume that has just been launch at vast expense complete with cinema ad campaign has been named 'Good Girl'.

All those advertising $$$ spent coming up with a name synonymous with chicken and fish flavoured cat treats?!?

The ad for old spice, though 😁

The Nicole Kidman one wins the all time worse ad. I love to dance indeed!

The Johnny Depp one is embarrassing. Any cred he ever had is over.

What you want is a normal ad - Brut, featuring Kevin Keegan, 'Enry Cooper or Muhammed Ali - I still remember MA's poetry

^Champion of the world, that's what I am
I mean the whole wide world from here to Siam^
And ^I wish to point out that Brut is the same,
Wherever we go people know our name.
The great smell of Brut is great like me,
Champions of the world, Brut and Ali^

Ah, memories...I may have got a few words wrong...
