Adverts. Can anyone make sense of perfume adverts?

How about that chap who drives into the desert to, for some unknown macho reason, bury his bit of bling? Quite apart from his appalling shovel technique where he chucks sand over his own head (someone send him a copy of KG) why would that make you buy a perfume?

There's various young ladies in serious heels rushing off into the night for assignations in what appears to be the most unlikely and uncomfortable of spots and other slightly more mature ladies who, after applying a bit of squirt, break their chains or climb up cloth ropes onto the roof.

I have a job to spot if it's perfume or cars when a new one comes on. Still never mind those ones will soon be gone and replaced with travel and holidays.

Which ones get your goat?

Spoke to an ex perfume sales lady some years ago. I asked why did the sample perfume spray on display have a label that said Not for Resale. Her answer was because it had a higher essential oil content, that made the perfume smell stronger. Buyer beware.

Dear Motherwoman, i'm so glad it's not just me that thinks these advents are totally false and even more ridiculous. I suppose a lot of adverts these days, have nothing to do with the product and more to do with a way of life that is a complete fantasy.

They couldn't put my fantasy in an advert

I suppose a very pretty, scantily clad young lady, sat on the biggest heap of manure you can get......would be a bit thought prevoking and rather mucky....

Alan, how kind of you to find something that appeals to me sooooo much.

However I now have a difficult decision to make because I am drawn between two things.

I shall have to make a decision and stand by it , ........................ ***t or bust

I wonder if the lady that climbs up the rope only does it because there is no staircase in the mansion. maybe if she wants to go to bed and she is getting undressed she has to go by rope the poor thing

Alan, was that a shoot for one of those naked farmers calendars? Either that or she has an allotment too!

I reckon that the best advert ontelevision at this time is the one with the Muppets advertising Warburtons giant crumpet.
