Velociraptor Dec 2021 10:14am, 1 Dec 2021 55,197 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I don't understand perfume ads either. I assume I'm not their target audience, though if I'm not, as a woman who could afford to splash out on perfume if I chose to [instead of spending my perfume budget on trainers and bike parts] I wonder who is.
The Great Raemondo Dec 2021 10:50am, 1 Dec 2021 8,591 posts	Quote Pin The Great Raemondo Perfume has to be one of the products absolutely least suited for advertising via an audiovisual medium. I quite like some perfume ads, though, because of their ridiculousness. They're like mini attempts at cinematic art. And they often remind me of the old intro to A Bit Of Fry And Laurie.
Diogenes Dec 2021 10:53am, 1 Dec 2021 64,903 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I used to like the Egoist one with all the people at the windows. It was so bad it was good. The start of the Johnny Depp one always reminds me of a Moneysupermarket . com ad, I think the music is similar.
