    Horrible. Just my opinion. :D

      I really liked the original 1 Million ad, but this is too much like a repeat.

    Ack – it’s kind of fun, but really horribly tacky. They should have just got Paris Hilton to do the ad.

      I agree with you and yes, it looks more like an ad for Paris Hilton fragrances!
      Thanks for posting though, I was wondering how the ad would turn out since I liked the one for the men’s version.

    That was painful to watch.

    This is like an 80s commercial of the fragrance knock-offs we’ve been so recently discussing. I guess I should be happy the mood is more cheeky rather than the typical glass-fogging sexuality typical of most of these ads.

    Cheeky is at least better than the eye rolling, moody uber-smoldery advertisments…..and I don’t much care the “I’m hot, but angry” ones either. I’d go for fun or cute anytime. However—I really want to hold that boy down and CUT THAT DAMN HAIR! egad it bothers me!

      Fun & cute is a Mentos commercial. This was just.. whatever.

    I like the wink at the end. She’s a gold digger and has hit the jackpot yes? A lot of women probably entertain that little fantasy, just in odd moments while hanging out the washing and breaking up their kids’ fights. So, not to be taken too seriously. I can imagine this doing quite well for PR.

      But adding: humour and irony are hard to do in perfume ads (it seems) so if that’s what PR were going for, they should have paid the ad agency a few more millions.

    They forgot women are not only into fancy cars, shoes and diamonds, but also bags and furs and…
    Vive la prejudice!
    Now all (young) men know how to get a lady. Just through some cash in.
    If I would live in the US I would sue them. The first ad was a shame, this is even worse and oh so predictable.
