Why on earth are they running this again - when it came out last Christmas I thought it was a spoof, it's that ridiculous!! "I love to dance!" VOMIT!!!!!!!!!!! Someone tell me please it is meant to be ironic?

She was in The Others. Great fun.

I defy you all to name one good perfume ad - they are all pants, Miss Kidman's merely the most overblown and embarrassing in a long line of vaseline-lensed, over-styled dross.

Actually a while back there was a really really irritating one for Eternity by Calvin Klein which featured soft focus people running around in sand dunes, to the sound of someone twittering under their breath 'eternity by calvin klein eternity by calvin klein' omg I can't believe I have total recall suddenly of that frightful viewing experience...

I must say I love the advert for the Midnight Poison even though Eva Green sometimes looks like the one from Shakespear's sister in the stay video

Her dress is swoonsomely amazing and I love the dramatic music. I am however unswayed by the advertising as I like my perfume which I am glad to say I have never seen advertised.

(In my youth, I wore Estee Lauder Pleasures when it was new and it was then launched by Elizabeth Hurley who was sitting in a field full of pink flowers and puppies like it was fabric softener fgs. Went right off it.)

Yes she looks v. much a la Stay video.... I'm afraid I remember Poison the first time around and this is a bit Eighties revival for me, what with all that electric blue! Chanel Gardenia is my fave, and I can't think there will ever be an advert for that

Surely you wear perfume because you like the smell, not because of the advertising? I mean, I like the drama of the poison ads, but the perfume smells like death to me and there's not one tiny thing that would induce me to spritz it on my pulse-points.

BoysAreLikeReindeer · 14/12/2007 19:22

Gawd shameless emoting from Shakespears Sister there. Ewwww

I can safely say I for one have never purchased a perfume because of the advert.... and the current imbecilic Chanel No 5 offering has made me use all my No 5 to clean the loo - if only I could shove that soppy git's head down the bog at the same time
...... I'm a dancer! I love to dance!!! hee hee hee! I wish she'd fall off that chimney pot the drippy tart

Sorry, just to clarify, I have never bought a perfume because of the advertising but I have been tempted to try it in an airport or a department store because I've seen an ad and then the smell will determine whether I buy it or not.
(so the ads do make a difference to some extent)

expatinscotland · 14/12/2007 20:34

If you find the ad annoying, just think of the millions of pounds she was paid for the entire campaign.

DiBackFromDead · 14/12/2007 20:37

i think i blame the director rather than La Kidman

In a sudden moment of madness I have just sad to DH that if he really DOES want to get me a pressie for Christmas (we HAD declared a truce) then Chanel Gardenia would be just fine....... I think the only place you can get it is the Bond Street shop! The poor sod's popping into London tomorrow, I don't think he'd look particularly at home in said boutique

expatinscotland · 14/12/2007 20:54

Make him stump up for one of the Chanel Les Exclusifs, FP.

Or Hermes Caleche or 24, rue Faubourg (women can't smell the ambergris in it).

I told DH I was going to become the mistress of a rich fecker just for the gifts.

He said, 'Get him to give us a house.'

LOL.

pmsl expat - sounds like my dh!

Gardenia can remain his target - wonder if he'll come up with the goods?
imo Gardenia too classy for Kidders. The scrawny scientology-screwer
