to irrationally HATE every single perfume advert ever shown on telly. It can't just be me...

[GetOrfMoiLand]

J'adore - Charlize Theron dropping her kecks and going J'adoooooore in deranged manner.

Anything by Kate Moss. Do you really want to smell like Kate Moss. Really?

Stupid Paco Rabanne aftershave advert where the dozy bloke clicks his fingers - fuck off.

Something by Aramani where Beyonce does her best Shirley Bassey impression. And why does she go 'Diaaaaaaaamoooooods, are a girl...best... FWIEND'.

Amd that unspeakable combo of Keira Twatley and Joss Stone on that interminable Chanel ad.

This is quite funny, even though the pair of them irritate me...

Audrey Tatou looks totally stoned in that one on a train - Chanel I think?

I like the JPG ones, I just wish I looked that good in a corset! The sailor bloke is rather yummy too ( if a little jail-baitish for a woman of my advancing years). DH always says "why is he wearing pants" in a rather disgruntled tone - I'd prefer him without too .

There used to be a really good one for Boss aftershave, I don't know who the model was but he was the top of my list.

I like the Audrey Tatou one for Chanel too, even if she is unbelievably skinny.

I wish Gerard Butler would get naked for one.

Oh and that Davidoff one bugs me too - Sawyer and Kate from Lost all damp and sandy on a beach looking, well, confused and lost!

YANBU. I never remember which is which or who is who. They always seem to imposibly thin people striding through corridors or posing strangely with botoxed lips. I feel the same about makeup ads as well...
It reminds me of when they used to advertise fags on telly but couldn't actually show someone smoking so they were really obscure

The Lacoste one, with some girl dancing along in a gym skirt
So many
DH lurves nicole Kidman, that advert is so wet
And ditto whoever said about the dancing, i love to dance[grimace]
currently all perfumes used chez Rivers are non-advertised on the box

And always windows open , with billowing curtains in deserted halls

with deranged, attractive but mad looking woman running through them

Perfume I use is never advertised (L'Heure Bleu by Guerlain).

I have hidden in the back of my cupboard a Paris Hilton box set bought by my brother (expect it as a Perfume Shop bargain basement) 2 years ago. Is revoltingly sweet, smells like melted barbies jelly tots.

yes, i would expect a Paris Hilton perfume to have a special exclusive whiff

This is why I like Sky Plus. Simply record the programme, start watching approximately six minutes after it starts, and never have to watch the ads again!

You are not alone. I cannot abide them, either.

The Nicole 'Frozen Forehead' Kidman one is the worst ever. That bit when she leaps out screams 'I am a dancer!'....arghhhhh she's like the hammiest Am Dram beeyatch ever

And the Kate Moss one when she is frigging herself in the back of the car. Ropey.

I completely agree about perfume ads - except for the Armani one with the gorgeous Josh Hartnett (even though he's a crap actor). There's a similar advert with a really ugly bloke in it - everytime it comes on, I think, are we supposed to think he's dishy?

I agree that the Sienna Miller ad is the worst.

I love the JPG Clasique(sp) adds, maybe cos i love the perfume

Slubber et al distinguish themselves as perfume ad directors, and contine the campaign for the next year

inspirational [chuckles]

Any body mentioned the ludicrous Nina Ricci ones?

Though have to admit I think the little bat girl is very charming in one of them.

Really find the Sean John I am king one hysterical. Is that aspirational for ganstas? Look! wear this and you too can wear a tux and be on a jetski before nipping down to the local betting shop casino for a flutter with the gals?

Ooh, and there is this one too

I always think Kate Moss looks like she smells of stale ciggies, yesterday's clothes and old beer mats.

Davidoff Ewan McGregor pisstake video here

OH GOd, yes BoF. How to lose respect for someone in 30 seconds.

Good one, Ewan. Hope the paycheck was worth it.

Well I tend to sky+ all things on channels with adverts so I can bypas them.
I do however work in a shop that sells perfume and regularly we get men customers coming in saying "do you have that perfume from the advert"
"Which perume was it?"
"Dunno can't remember the name, but it had a woman in it"
"A woman? Can you remember any of the name of the perfume, or what the bottle looked like"
"well the bottle was glass innit, and it had some blonde woman in it with hair"

Thus follows half an hour of looking at every single perfume in the hope of finding the right one. Then they say "ooh there's one with Jordan on the front I'll take that I like Jordan" (to hell with what the poor recipient wants)

Obviously under the mistaken belief that the tits of the woman they are buying it for will grow to the size of Jordans if they wear it everyday

Did you see the second vid underneath the original, MmeDeFarge? Teehee

Lol Saltire. Men buying perfume must be funny.

Yes the Ewan Macgregor one was a bit when I first saw it. Honestly, I thought he was such an earnest Ac-TOR devoted to his art. Mind you anyone friends with Charlie Boorman must be a bit of a twat.

YANBU I was thinking the same thing watching that bokesome threesome one the other night. Utterly foul.

The only decent perfume ad ever to be made was the Chanel one with Zidane in it. I only ever saw it as a poster ad, don't think it was on TV but if it had been perhaps it would have been crap too.
