Shame is not sexy…

Posted by Robin on 4 December 2007 13 Comments

No big perfume news today (imagine that!) so for anyone desperate to waste time at work, here is the commercial for Alan Cumming's Cumming: The Fragrance ("a scent that is all about Sex, Scotch, Cigars and Scotland"). The fragrance itself is just great, and the commercial gets my vote for the funniest celebrity fragrance ad ever.

    I think the soundtrack just makes it even better.

    Love, love, love that guy!

    He's obviously got a brain as well as a great name for a fragrance.

    And I love his sense of humour.

    I MUST remember to get this for my male friends for Xmas…

    Pretty hilarious — I'd take ten celeb scents like this for every one mainstream snoozer anyday. I still need to try out this fragrance –though the tobacco, burnt rubber and pine kind of scare me. I keep meaning to stop into the local Sephora to see if they have it, but speaking of scary, that place makes me feel like a deer in the headlights.

    He is just a doll (that accent!) and so, so funny!

    If I had the money I'd buy a bottle unsniffed, just to support him. 🙂

    Was actually wondering who carried it, and see it is at Amazon via Sephora still, which is good. Hope this one does not disappear.

    Sephora for the win! Indeed it is a magical place.

    ANd gotta love that little minx, Mr. Cumming. I guess you have to have a sense of humor with a name like that. Might as well run with it and have some fun.

    Love the ad!! I bought Cumming a few years ago and I love it. It's spicy and sexy. Definitely great for winter.

    I picked mine up at Sephora in Downtown San Francisco when it first came out. I have since moved and not seen Cumming at local Sephoras. It might just be available online now.

    I think you're right, only online — and keeping my fingers crossed that it hasn't been discontinued.
