Perfume CommercialsHere I have made a compilation of perfume commercials that have aired on TV and theaters over the years for the delectation of perfume enthusiasts. Their study shows the evolution of marketing/advertising as well as the change in aesthetic values and artistic sensitivities.This is the first work of its kind to appear anywhere and it took quite a bit of work during October 2006.
This page could not be made possible without Youtube.com. A huge thanks to them and to all the people (each one credited on each seperate clip) for uploading them in the first place.
The clips are listed in alphabetical order of house/designer/celebrity that endorses the product, apart from a funny section of assorted clips at the end. Please take into account that the quality of image and sound, as well as the variation in volume, is largely dependent on the specific circumstances each clip was made. In cases where there is no sound, it is mentioned.
