Another grab from tOP, The new CHANEL N°5 film. Man, they're using some kinda money making these commercials. Seriously, that is very, very lush, and expensive to make.
Hot mama. And lovely Leica too (M8, I think). Which can zoom, despite being a rangefinder camera, not bad!
I wish they'd used a real man instead of such a friggin' Pretty-boy. "Pretty-boy" is my term for a young male model/actor who seems to have no practical or intellectual qualities whatsoever beyond being pretty, and without a grain of strength or masculinity. (I do say "seeems to", because obviously I can't know, but some boys just strongly give that impression.) Am I the only one who hates Pretty-boys? (I wish I was only joking, but really, he gives me the heebie-jeebies.)

Pretty, pretty film!
Yes, I agree about the 'pretty boy' comment. For my money, they could have used someone a bit less chiseled, and a bit more real and interesting.
Still, I don't buy/wear Channel No5 - so I don't think anyone's really bothered what I think!
Given the shape of the left side of the top plate, I think it's the M8 (or M8.2).
Why I even know that is beyond me...
Not a fan of pretty boys...but then we're not really the target audience of this ad, are we, Eolake? :-)
You're right! The most I know about perfume is that it's hard to find an antiperspirant which does not stink worse than what it prevents!
It is a lovely commercial for a lovely scent. That's all.

What, you're not into over-thinking and over-criticizing things? What wroooong with yoooouuuu then? :-)
Sorry Eo, I lost my way for a moment. Oh, please forgive me!
No prob, can happen to the best of us, just keep an eye on it, willya.
Well, the Pretty-boy is assorted with the Lolita look of Audrey Tautou...
But at least she's not an anorexic androgynous bag of bones. That's a welcome evolution in "high class" (read: perfume and fashion) advertising.
Baroness: "ChaNNel"? Good one!
"Next, you take the Ferry on Channel No5 over the Bosphorus..." :-)
There was a subtle joke in this ad at one point: Marilyn Monroe once stated that she slept "wearing only a drop of Chanel No5".
To which french comic Anne Roumanoff recently replied: "I sleep wearing only pajamas with a drop of pee at the bottom." Really.
I like Roumanoff's sense of self-derision. She's currently one of France's most popular stand-up comics. Not by far a beautiful woman (and she knows it), but has the cutest smile!
"it's hard to find an antiperspirant which does not stink worse than what it prevents!"
I think that's an INTRINSIC problem of antiperspirants, a flaw in their principle. The skin isn't meant to see one of its basic functions shut down.
I only use "regular" deodorant, and -guess what?- as long as I don't try to go to a soirée right after a ball game and without taking a shower in-between, it works just fine.
What arrogance, from our grotesque species, to always want to be masters of Nature. We even claim that "God granted us full clearance to do so"!
Oddly enough, no other creature in Nature has ever heard of the concept of "God". Hey, Lord, how about you informed them that you appointed US boss? I'm tired of buffalos charging at me every time I tell them I'm in the mood for a big steack... And when I tell mosquitoes "I command you to go away!", their unyielding buzzing sounds like they're snickering at me. Boo-hoo. Smite them, God. Me, my aim is bad, I just clap at the empty air.
Oh, and also, please make all germs sick with a bad case of Penicillin. Amen and good night.
"What, you're not into over-thinking and over-criticizing things? What wroooong with yoooouuuu then? :-)"
Yeah, you're right. Hey, everybody! Let's gang up on Bronislaus!
(Um... Preliminary check for safety: just how big and muscular are you, Bron? Let's not be reckless about this either, and find out too late that we weren't bullying a helpless Pretty-boy!)
"just keep an eye on it, willya."
Okay, that bullying thing has gone far enough. Pick up your eye, Bron, my buddies are getting grossed out!
Just keep a LOOK on it instead, okay? ;-)
Bron am big and strong. Like Abomination, only Bron is more pretty than stupid Abomination. (But Bron not as pretty as Hulk. Hulk is prettiest one there is. And strongest.) Bron not puny at all. But Hulk are still strongest.
Oh, uh, also, Bron is not green. Maybe this why Hulk more handsome. Hulk likes green.
And spinach. [:-)
Watch them spend some of that some kinda moneyhere.
Eolake...

You're starting to sound like me! lol! Turn that around to the opposite gender and you have, exactly, what *some* of us [equally beautiful] women think of the "pretty girls"! lol! Exactly the same! ;-)
I forgot to mention: "In the good old days," when wearing perfume wasn't such an "offense" to others, I actually used to wear this perfume. I LOVE it and I am not much for perfumes. Have you ever smelled this YUMMY perfume, before? If not, go "hit up" a tester on your next mall excursion. It'll send you out of this world! lol! Enjoy!! :-P
Two other equally famous perfumes are Shalimar and Fleur de Rocaille.
Try them too. Try all three!
