    so….umm….it smells like cars…..at night….in the city? I like when he stands in front of the windows , I’m sure he’s thinking “oh look! three more of me…fantastic!”

    Did I mention “YAWNNNNN” ?

      Oh wow (not in a good way). Did they offer him lots of money? I can’t see any other reason why.

    (soft music…voice over)…”Sometimes I stare at myself in a mirror…sometimes I stare at myself in a glass…sometimes I just stare…while I wear this expensive fragrance that smells like all the others.” People wonder why fragrance sales are way down…

    Did you see the promo for Comedy Central’s roast of Franco? Pretty amusing, and at least he pokes fun at his self-loving image.
    Echo the yawn for the scent.

      The segment Franco filmed for Funny Or Die lampooning his own Gucci commercials is priceless. “Gucki by Gucki… Goosey by Goosey…”

    Um, time to get a new director and name for the scent. I hate to be crude and I don’t like crudeness but when I think of ‘Made to Measure’ it’s like um..something that sounds like a reference to measuring umm, ya know? Like, whoever buys this scent is full of himself! Lol.

      I can’t say I’m crazy about the name, but isn’t it a common term in fashion?

      lol Omega, I thought maybe made to measure as in suit etc. You obviously have an excellent eye for detail ;-)

    He doesn’t look very convincing with this beard and moustache. I gather it’s the same model who endorsed Gucci by Gucci pour Homme?
