    Maybe it’s just me, but I found these toe-curling. They’ve completely put me off the perfumes!

      Agree — they were actually hard for me to watch. All 3 of them, although the Platinum was the worst.

        Yes, smarmy comes to mind..

          Platinum–the fragrance for the disappointed divorcee cougar in everywoman.

            Exactly!

    They should have left out the voiceover and just had music.

    Silver- At any given moment, I expected a vampire to pop out.
    Platinum- More like a film noir.
    Gold- Looks like a Nautica ad.
    What happened to Bronze?

      No bronze! Just the trio.

      Or copper or zinc? Or molybdinum? There’s a rule about writing, “Show, don’t tell.” Yep, they should have told a LOT less.

    Wonder what the juices smell like.

    The Silver vid reminds me of the first 60 seconds of every episode of CSI New York I’ve ever seen. Had me anticipating the victim’s autopsy. All that aside, I still looking forward to sampling Gold.

      I had the same feeling – kept waiting for the stalker to jump out from behind the bushes…

        …or should that be for “Private Love” to jump out from behind the “secret clumps”… ?

          that’s a whole different section of the video store…. ;-)

      LOL! Yes, I was wondering why he thought it was safe for her to be wandering around the deserted part of town alone at midnight.

      But I want to smell them all too.

    I would’ve laughed if they were meant as jokes. But these are serious. And it just makes my stomach lurch a little.

    Okay, I did laugh once: “How on Earth did he know about this fantasy?” xD

      That line was particularly bad.

        Yeah, not romantic–creepy.

    Ok, I get that they are trying to tell a story thru each one….but holy cow, none of them make any one of the fragrances sound “appealing” they were just weird. And the one for silver? somewhat ill advised.
    I’ll tell you what, the group in this room could do a re-write and make them a ton better.

      I thought Silver was the best of the 3, but yes, ill advised.

    What creeped me out a little is that I think the voiceover for Silver is the woman who does the voiceovers for the HBO “Autopsy” documentaries. Maybe that’s why CSI came to mind.

    That would have just been a lot better on mute.
    Maybe then would it have more impact.

      Just tried them that way. It helped, but this one in particular was still creepy: was still waiting for the slasher to jump out at her, LOL….
