Advertising 'Peak Femininity' perfume with Dylan Mulvaney

Jean Paul Gautier, bottle with a very female bottle design, hips dylan can only dream of, presumably paying quite a bit to have (really terrible) content put out by DM. I just can't get over how bad it is, struggling to see what point they're trying to make. Other than that men can woman better than us obvs.

Oh, I think "peak" is a most excellent choice of name there.

Enough4me · 25/05/2025 09:54

We've seen it before, "go woke go broke".
Dylan looks like an anorexic teenage boy and does not have an appealing look for any advert.
Is a woman in the advert for the male version?

Interesting idea!!

I was going to say I've probably been looking at the wrong thing, but maybe not. Is he really using the perfume to cover up the smell of a camel?

is that the actual advert? Or is the advert something completely different, and that's just him being a tit

All the stuff I can see online says that DM is "promoting" the scent. I presume he's being paid as an "influencer".

So not an advert created by an agency as such, but it does suggest an arrangement, probably financial, between the perfume house and DM.

Influencing people not to buy it.

That's him 'influencing', yup

I just looked it up, one of the first comments asked if he was in the Middle East? Good question, given the laws in the region re Trans.

Even if he is not in danger of being arrested, it doesn't show much solidarity with LGBTs if he's willing to go for money to an oppressive country.

Chersfrozenface · 25/05/2025 11:47

At least one site says he was in Morocco.

Casablanca was where Georges Burou had his clinic. He performed surgery on many TIM including April Ashley and Jan Morris.

If the site is correct, that might well explain the choice of location.

BobbyBiscuits · 25/05/2025 11:52

I guess it's trying to market the fragrance specifically to trans women?

I can't see a regular woman buying perfume that's promoted by Mulvaney. He doesn't even look remotely like a woman?

There are plenty of other more 'feminine' looking trans models they could've used for the adverts.

But I guess it's trying to cause some kind of controversy.

IcyPlumOtter · 25/05/2025 11:52

Thanks for that, @Chersfrozenface, that explains it.

Jean Paul Gautier has been off his game for a long time, I'm afraid. A couple of years ago I saw an advert for one of his perfumes that was set on a ship at sea.

I was terribly disappointed that he didn't call it "Hello Sailor". He wouldn't have missed an open goal like that when he was presenting Eurotrash.

But, but he gets on a camel, says it smells, and opens the perfume.

Seriously?

I mean, it's one thing being a bit misguided about having a bloke advertise a perfume for women, but having a bloke advertise a perfume for camels???

Datun · 25/05/2025 15:17

I just googled his name, and the perfume and got a clip on YouTube. He's not done up, he looks like a scruffy student who got dressed in the dark.

John Paul Gautier cannot be party to it!

I'm guessing a mate (if he's got any) or the bloke who rents out the camels, weilding a smartphone.

StMarie4me · 25/05/2025 15:38

Why are you all watching the content? Literally promoting the promotion, as you are here.

How odd.

Only to point out that no one's going to buy the perfume.

Well, except for camel herders.

And frankly, a squirt of eau de cologne would be far cheaper. In fact, you could probably get away with doing the whole herd with a dash of Febreze.

JustBitetheKnotsOff · 25/05/2025 15:59

I think Rug Doctor is more what you'd need for a camel.

I give you...

Animology Stink Bomb Dog Deodorising Spray

Available from multiple retailers. May work on camels.

TheOtherRaven · 25/05/2025 16:44

Oh come on, be reasonable. No one wants their camel to smell.

Of a scruffy teenage boy?
No I don't want to smell of that or a camel.
Not influencing in the way he thought he would (again!).

ZeldaFighter · 25/05/2025 18:31

Am I the only one desperately trying to think of a camel toe joke??? (Other than Dylan!)
