Posted by Robin on 14 March 2011 5 Comments

Model Natalia Vodianova for Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial. Probably NSFW. The music is Initials BB by Serge Gainsbourg.

    “Mon premier Shalimar” This says it all about the scope, the target group, the concept, the fragrance…

    (they’re taking a page off Chanel)

    Too sexy for their target demographic, I think. And how old is that model?

      i’m guessing they are trying to get a new target market…maybe a younger, trendier one?

      and vodianova is 29, married to a british aristocrat and has 3 kids…insanely youthful looking right?

        Exactly…young & trendy is exactly who they’d like to reach.
