Joanna Grey 0 Posted December 8, 2012 I know exactly what the OP is on about. Whilst other goods may be advertised in different ways within their market (funny, sentimental, etc.) it seems that Perfume ads always follow the same ''pretentious crap'' rule.

A Load of Squit 4,523 Posted November 14, 2022 In a similar vein, ads for TV's where they show you how good the screen is. What's the point if your watching on a different TV that doesn't have superOLED or 8000000k resolution? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KernowCanary 214 Posted November 14, 2022 In 2012 they kept showing that D’Or perfume advert ALL THE TIME!. It had that song by The Gossip that sounded like the singer was going “D’ooorrrrr!!!!…. It takes two!, it takes two!”. Really got on my **** and made me no longer want to listen to that song. It was actually about prostitution hence the “it takes two” and “It’s a funny way to make ends meet” lines. It still puzzles me, why that song!?. It’s like the person putting it together didn’t look into the song’s meaning. Am dreading the usual repeated Christmas advert this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,274 Posted November 15, 2022 I do wonder how much the celebs get paid for these adverts, would have to sell a lot of perfume to get their money back. Oh, any advert with Phillip Schofield in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my working days I got to look at the business economics of a perfume business. At the time, what looked to me like a very small bottle retailed at £30 but the actual cost of the stuff in the bottle cost between 5p and 10p. The packaging and advertising cost an eye watering amount. Ironically, the smell of the perfume made my eyes water as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
