    oh

    they rented a house for that?

    from the look of what they carted in to decorate the place, they could have done the same commercial in any shack.

      Great minds think alike — that was my first reaction!

    Perfume doesn’t have to be ‘matched to any colour or accessory’? Maybe.

    My choice is certainly integrated with what I am wearing. I’m sure there are plenty in the NST community who decide on the perfume first and then the outfit. Maybe she didn’t mean that perfume choice is just a matter of squirting almost at random you walk out the door, but it came across a bit like that.

    Then again, maybe she didn’t mean anything much at all.

      And now I’m thinking properly, after my first cup of tea, the naming, packaging and marketing of fragrance, including CA’s own By Night, is obviously highly dependent on choice of colour. Grey Flannel, Red Door, White Linen, Beige …

      No–one would wear Opium with a flowing white cotton dress, or Pleasures with red satin and stilettos … would they? Even the abstraction of Chanel No 5 is itself suggestive of simplicity of colour and accessories …

      I’ll bet you’re right that many people here match their perfume & their outfit….I don’t think that hard about what I wear personally though!

    That intro was a little frightening, like a horror film….

    I was just thinking the other day, though; all these ad spots and I only ever see Romance, J’adore, and Euphoria ad spots!

      I wonder if many of them are made just for YouTube and the brand websites.

    The house looks like a bordello and she, the madam. Or maybe a porn set. Real cheese!

    All that seemed to be missing was a dungeon. Real creepy intro.

      It’s a weird intro…doesn’t seem to fit with what follows.
