    5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. surprise, we shoot the dumbbell perfume commercial in a gym with a stud wears no top working out. Yay.

    I literally burst into tears for this.

      It is pretty predictable. Hopefully the fragrance is better.

      On the other hand, this would be a great, edgy commercial if they were pushing Mitsouko.

        I can’t think of any second that fits Mitsouko in this dumbbell scenario. That’s gonna be so revolutionarily creative if the clip should be made!! lol

    1. I’m fairly certain that I’ll never sniff this stuff.

    2. If he hadn’t squirted himself with the stuff at the end, I would have thought that this was a Bowflex commercial.

    3. I’m pretty sure that I just found my new fake boyfriend.

    4. Why couldn’t Hugo Boss have made my old boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, take his shirt off and work out during their commerical?

        He did in Blade Trinity! And he looked pretty good in a towel in The Proposal – plus, he’s filming the Green Lantern, so his abs are in pretty good shape. Not that I’m paying attention to that or anything….

    What a dreadful advert.

    Talk about going for the lowest common denominator.

    Let me guess, a fragrance that’s “fresh!”.

    Be still my beating heart. The idea that I would have a bottle like that next to the rest of my collection turns my stomach. I might just as well buy that ghastly Diesel bottle with the fist and certify myself as truly tasteless.

      I mean, the Diesel fist appears to me as a modern industrial sculpture. Whether a success or not, I think Diesel was trying at least. (It’s a fun creation IMO.)

      This Champion thing leaves me cold. That’s way too convenient. A dumbbell miniature? Give me a break.

    I’m wating for the fragrance for old fat guys with no muscles. The dudes with muscles like that don’t need a fragrance to impress the ladies!

      He’s a spanish top model. He worked too for the global advertising campaign of Eau Savage.
