    Jonathan Rhys Meyers can sell me perfume any day. As long as he lets me call him Henry

    They need to stop trying to use him to sell perfume and just start bottling whatever pheromones that man is putting out…haha. They'd have a mad rush to the perfume counters.
    But I don't think I'd want to call him Henry. 🙂 I liked him much better back when he was younger and weirder and slightly more androgynous. (The Lion in Winter)…but I'm not complaining. 🙂

    C'mon, do you really care what he lets you call him?

    Really, it sounds like they might as well be using him to sell women's perfume, not men's!

    For whatever it's worth, the music is some version of Moby's “Extreme Ways.”

    JoRhy could do better than Hugo Boss…
    Makes me wonder: what would Maxwell Demon wear?

    Dear Robin: All the places in the ad are certainly Buenos Aires landmarks… and within walking distance from my workplace!!! 🙂

    Still, I believe he just walked in front of a bluescreen and was pasted later on… or at least that is what it looks like to me.

    The bottle looks nice… I'll try to smell the juice as soon as it arrives in the southern hemisphere 😉

    Regards

    P.

    I haven't seen it — is it worth watching?

    Agree…it does not look like he is really there, does it?

    Ha! Sane thought here.

    I don't care what he's peddling, he's hot.

    Tsk! For shame!

    Up to me then.. something extremely expensive for the sake of expensiveness, but also very off-putting and weird also for the sake of off puttingness. Serge Noire layered with A Taste of Heaven, maybe, but even together they don't cover the smell of the blue hairspray.

    wiping drool off my chin. He could be selling bottled water for all I care. I'd buy it! 😉

    That's what Hugo Boss has in mind, I'm sure 😉
