Do the TV commercials for perfume and cologne leave you wondering... "Did someone slip something in my drink?" Just why are perfume ads so phantasmagorical? Well, they can't tell the truth! Man: It smells a lot like everything else out there, and if not for desperate holiday shoppers, we'd probably be out of business!

I still much prefer them to the ones with the âColon Healthâ Lady.

Or the ones touting improvements to menâs sex health/performanceâŠ..or insurance.

About the same as anything for âawareness,â as if that solves a problem.

When was the last time anyone produced a commercial on how to use cologne or perfume.
Alice Brady Premium Member over 10 years ago
Phantasmagorical is a wonderful word!

Maybe Bert over at Non Sequitur could use some of that stuffâŠ.

Sounds like great commentary on political ads.

I agree, Observer fo Irony! There are several women in the office where I worked that bathe in the stuff. It was truly obnoxious.

Teenaged boys using Axe definitely need to see the how-to commercial. P.U!
Petemejia77 over 10 years ago
They havenât been like that since the 80s. Theyâre not as weird today. Loved old C.K commercials. Makes me think of the SNL skit. Calvin Klean!

I have to steer clear of the perfume areas of the department store or I get a wicked headache.

In that first panel, it looks like sheâs going to crawl right out of the panel and attack me, like the dead girl in the movie, âThe Ringâ. Scary!

The first time I saw the word âphantasmagoricalâ was on the cover, or liner sleeve, of an early David Bowie album. Canât remember which album, but the word impressed me. -Iâm very grateful to get my favorite perfume at Christmas. Itâs so ridiculously over-priced, Iâd save it for only special occasions if someone wasnât generous enough to buy me a new bottle every year or so.

At least perfume commercials donât come with those attached statements the like of, âWarning, may cause Kidney failure, Liver Malfunction, Thoughts of Suicide, Loss of Sense of Smell, Heart Attack, Uncontrollable Bleeding, Serious Anger Issues, Stomach Rot, Blood Clots, Large Quantities of Phlegm in Throat, Downfall of Modern Civilization, Massive Exodus of Accumulated Monies from your Banking Account, Lack of Enthusiasm for your Favorite Steve Martin Movie, a Sensation of Longing for a Pizza from Little Caesars or in some instances, Death.â
I hate when I experience those symptoms.
