My 3 favourite (parfum) commercials

On number 3: Chanel No. 5 Parfum

The French actress audrey tatou is the new face of the iconic fragrance Chanel No. 5.
Created by Coco Chanel in 1921, No. 5 has remained the number one selling scent around the world.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who worked with her in Amelie, the film portray a brief sensual encounter between a man on a women who brush past each other on a night train
Filmed in a railway station in Nice and on the Bosphorus in Istanbul, it was inspired by a scene in the Oscar-nominated film A Very Long Engagement.
Tatou, who plays the title role of Coco Chanel in Anne Fontaine's new film Coco avant Chanel, said of her appointment to the luxury fashion house: "It hasn't really sunk in yet. The fact that the film has been directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the fact that it is Chanel No.5, which for me is a legend in itself. Even now, I find it hard to believe."
When I saw the commercial I immediately wanted to buy the fragrance!

2: J'adore Dior Parfum


I really love this commercial! Starring with the actress/model Charlize Theron. I love how the three legends, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Marlene Dietrich all glance in this commercial!
The commercial was directed by Seven Years in Tibet's Jean-Jacques Annaud.
Charlize Theron rose to fame in the late 1990s following her roles in 2 Days in the Valley, Mighty Joe Young, The Devil's Advocate and The Cider House Rules. She received critical acclaim and an Academy Award for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the film Monster, for which she became the first South African to win an Academy Award in a major acting category. She received another Academy Award nomination for her performance in North Country. After appearing in a few notable films, Theron starred as the serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. Film critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema". For this role, Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 76th Academy Awards in February 2004, as well as the SAG Award and the Golden Globe Award. She is the first South African to win an Oscar for Best Actress. 
On 30 September 2005, Theron received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

3: Ralph Lauren The Big Pony Collection Fragrances

This is the one of the best commercial I ever saw!
It all fits perfectly together, the models, the music, the video itself.
And especially the music is what I love about this commercial.
This is one of the commercial that I keep staring at, like I don't even move because I'm focusing on the gorgeous models! The commercial is about a new generation of young, trend-conscious men who embrace a fashion icon: The polo player by Ralph Lauren.
The Big Pony Collection rounds out this look with 4 different scents, the passions of young men pay tribute.
The 4 fragrances are: Sport, Seduction, Adventure and style.
The generation of today is defined by many different facets - a variety that only acollection of unique fragrances, as it is the Big Pony Collection can meet.
