It is that time of year again. The time of year when our TV channels are filled with adverts for the things we are all expected to buy. Kids toys – Furbys, grotesque My Little Pony girls and all kinds of vile stupidly expensive things that will break in mere moments.
Then there are the things for the grown ups and the thing that really annoys me is perfume ads. The ad can be as swishy as you like but if it smells like utter poop, then I’m not going to buy it. However, perfume ads are always a load of balls. Weird, pointless and often just so random. I’ve never felt the urge to go and buy perfume down to any advert I’ve ever seen for them. I go and I smell them in a shop – spraying it on thousands of little bits of card and sneezing my face off.
Then I go and pick one that I end up allergic to.
So here is a little something for all the perfume makers out there (or their marketing departments at least.)
