    The choice of song makes me think that this should be some sort of a rebound perfume…

    I luuuuurved the original ad, and I like this one too. The ice-skating part is the really new bit and I think the best part of it is the moon and clouds – they are just fantastic!

      I like them, but wish they’d used another song — even though it is a great song, don’t think it fits, and it fits even less w/ the holiday theme.

    This is great! I loved the high heeled skates.

      Yes, the skates are a hoot. Probably somebody really makes them :-)

    There’s something about LPRB that doesn’t hit me right. Its interesting to see Guerlain branching out of its mold with its fragrances, but to some extent, it also makes me feel like they shouldn’t be giving in to the market of forgettable fragrances. It’s been mentioned before, but I don’t understand as to why they would market a little black dress concept for their fragrance. I understand the concept that it’s meant to be worn like a little black dress, the most comfortable item in your wardrobe that will make you feel sexy, but there’s nothing sexy about this fragrance. Also, poor choice of song; what does walking all over someone in your boots have to do with a little black dress or the fragrance; love Nancy Sinatra though (which is probably why they chose the song, because people love it, not that it has any connection to the concept. It just sets the mood). Another bone I have to pick is that the commercial is basically the same exact one, except they decorated a few of the pieces with Christmas decor.

    6/10 for trying. Sorry Guerlain, I still love you though.
