    Odd ad. I like Amanda Seyfried’s look but her stance/walk isn’t very strong nor very Givenchy.

    Also, the odd nod to ItaloWestens that doesn’t quite work. Change the audio track and this would be better.

      Totally agree with ‘odd’ — it’s very strange & not sure what it is supposed to say about Very Irresistible.

    I see cliché! Mysterious woman walks into a bar… Big hair reveal …hair never looks like that after you’ve tucked it into a hat.
    Trust me, I’ve tried! LOL.

    Not a fan of the Very Irresistible line. But its been such a huge success …

      The hair reveal for some reason struck me as just incredibly random.

    I love it that her hair is blowing in the wind. The wind blowing in the cafe.

    Is Liv Tyler too old now? Or did her contract expire? There’s nothing wrong with introducing a fresh new face but the market is consistently skewed to the very young. Interesting how Amanda isn’t wearing black for a change. The beautiful white lace top wraps around her body awkwardly. There isn’t enough emphasis on the fragrance. Not a fan of her eyes.

      I am going to assume that a) her contract expired and b) Amanda Seyfried is in fact much younger.

      I associate Liv Tyler with the “Very Irresistible” line and find Amanda Seyfried and odd spokeswoman replacement. They spend a decade building-up one image, only to dust it aside once The Public grows accustomed to it. But fragrance lovers are no stranger to the fickleness of the industry. I still refuse to buy anything from “Caswell Massey” since they discarded “Casma” — a sent tied, at least in name, to some substantial Caswell-Massey history — for the third time.

    Very irresistible??? Is it possible to be slightly irresistible?

    The “wind effect” would be a whole lot more believable if she were entering Walmart rather than a apparently European cafe.

    i knew this was actually coming, after the oh-so-failed-over-photoshopped of Liv’s Givenchy Very Irresistible Edition Croisiere… D:
