    I must say that it is really refreshing to see an ad focusing on the perfume and not having a young woman writhing semi naked or a young guy doing finger guns…

    I have 2 things with this line: 1) it is a line I want to tey but I cannot find them anywhere. Will look in the department stores this year when I am in the U.S. (maybe I’ll get lucky at the Bal Harbour shops)
    And 2) it’s friggin expensive!!! “50 ($310) or 150 ($495) ml”… let me tell you how I measure things…. this year my upcoming round trip plane ticket from Buenos Aires to Miami was just 650 USD… round trip DIRECT flight. I do not judge whomever wants to pay those prices for perfume, more power to you! It’s just that for me 1 USD per ml is fair price, less than 1 USD per ml is a bargain, and if you want me to pay 2 USD per ml you’d better be good. More than that you are just paying for a brand, a lifestyle “experience” or a status symbol.
    And quoting Seinfeld “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!” :-)

    (Sorry about the rant and at this stage ijn the perfume game I should knkw better than complain about pricing but sometimes my inner cranky old man comes out in full force! :-) )
    But I pass. I will try it if I see it though!!! :-)

      You are preaching to the choir here. I don’t buy anything this expensive.
