Antonio Banderas for his latest fragrance for men, The Secret.
The music is Ooh La La, originally by Goldfrapp but not sure who did this version.

that’s a horrible cover… and i doubt the fragrance will be outstanding…
Seems like it works for the commercial though. And the music sounds identical…just a different vocal? Not sure about that.
the vocals sound rerecorded to me
Ha! OK, that was cute. He’s adorable.
Ditto. A little bit of humor goes a long way with me: I like this better than some of the big budget commercials with famous directors & 5 advance trailers that we’ve been seeing lately.
Ditto. And he is really adorable.
The Secret? Did he get sucked into that Oprah-promoted trash book also?
Nah. It’s probably just intended as the secret to his success with the ladies. 😉
Or perhaps, his secret is that he is turning around because he realized he walked into the women’s wing of the dorm, and he really is headed for a big date with someone in the men’s wing.
Really, the ad seems to be shouting “This is for straight men who want to score with women.” The word “secret” is a little ambiguous.
Don’t know what that is and refuse to go find out lest I get sucked in too 🙂
I highly doubt it’s anything you’d get sucked into, R. Plus, I think that peaked two years ago or so. (insert eyerolling emoticon)
Ok – I am a total sucker for Mr. Banderas. I don’t care if it’s “Tie me up Tie me Down” or “Desperado” – the man has a lot of charisma. Yes, the cover isn’t as good as the original (and I love Goldfrappe), but it is OK for the tone of the ad. It’s clever – I like when the iris dilates. Funny sexy is good in my book. His voice at the end is just amazing anyway.
I love the look on his face at the end. That is a fun ad. Sexy without being too in-your-face and having a sense of humor about it.
I agree, I really like that too. Slight bit of long suffering amazement = “What is a man supposed to do?”
It was cute. But it made my think, dear lord, what is the sillage on that monster??
Maybe it smells like a huge chocolate ganache! That would get me crawling on the walls, lol.
If I could smell chocolate ganache through the walls, do you know what trouble i’d be in? oy!
I can only stay off sweet by not bringing them in the house. In sight/smell range, they are devoured pronto.
On the other hand, if Antonio Banderas smelled like chocolate ganache, i’d be weirded out. I don’t think he should wear gourmands.
When I saw the screenshot of the leggy model in the chair my immediate thought was “oh dear, here we go again” so I was totally, pleasantly surprised and I did laugh. Antonio Banderas is actually quite a good comedic actor, imo. Not so infatuated with him as I used to be but still admire him. I guess I can forgive the Goldfrapp “cover” as they might not have been able to get the permission to use the real thing.
Ooh la la, this sounds wild.
