    Can’t… Stop… Laughing! It’s so hard for me to watch video adverts for fragrance as they’re often either ridiculous, pretentious, uninformative or all three. This one, for some reason, reminded me SOOO much of that hilarious CK “Obsession” commercial from the late 80s. I think it was all the “looking hot in profile poses” that was utilized.

      WOW that Obsession ad is *AMAZING*!!! I can’t decide if it’s meant to be funny or not! It reminds me of beat performance–something I’d see on stage fifty years ago, but it seems to be taking itself so seriously! “The smell of her. . .” is definitely a theme in both ads.

      (Although, on a less cynical note, I’m still hoping to find the guy who LOVES how I smell! Some day, he will be mine. Oh yes, he will be. . . :) )

      I think I’m the only one who likes the bottle. But haven’t seen it in person.

    I saw the bottle in person. It’s beautiful and felt really heavy but the juice was all over the sprayer. I went to eat afterwards and got Nachos and kept tasting the perfume after multiple handwashes

    What’s with the Skinemax music? Jeez, with the yonic bottle and Skinemax soundtrack it seems like they are aiming this at the escort demographic! Can’t a woman be MORE than someone who strokes things and looks good in profile??

      That would have been nice actually. Show a gorgeous model, then show a plain looking female doctor, a pretty soldier, an average mom with her child, the 80 year old grandmother, etc. Set that to show all the various aspects that you can fit into a 30 second slot, put it in black & white or sepia hi definition contrast, throw on some power music and I think it would be much more appealing.
