Everyone says that

Polish actress and model Kasia Smutniak in the promo for Giorgio Armani's Idole d'Armani. The (brief) music is the late, great Nina Simone singing I Put A Spell On You.

    From what’s been said, I don’t think Idole is any where near worthy of Nina.

      No, I should think not.

      Word.

      Hey, do you mind if I play the cynic and say that most perfumes would be better without the cheesy ad campaigns that precede them?

        But then some other perfumes would be nothing WITHOUT the commercials…

    Everyone says that she’s fascinating? Really? Because from where I’m sitting, she looks like a generic model. Granted, she really could be fascinating in real life, but she doesn’t look as if she has enough life experience to even be all that interesting.

    Okay, I’m reading too much into the ad (as usual).

      I wonder if it’s the exact same line they used in the Italian & French versions of this commercial? Because “Everyone says that” sounded vaguely ridiculous to me in this ad.

    What a lame video, dissappointing coming from Armani.
