With Christmas fast approaching there seems to be the usual glut of misleading advertisements on the television and the worst ones are those for perfumes. Without exception, every one of them shows women as ultra glamorous women under the age of 30 who have the perfect figure and look as though they have just emerged from a beauty salon.
They are usually dressed in designer evening wear and the effect of the perfume has them rolling around on the floor as though they are in the middle of an orgasm or they are scantily dressed and draped around the neck of some bloke who looks as though he's swallowed something that tastes foul.
Trust me, I have tried some of these perfumes and they certainly have never affected me as they do these models and neither have they ever attracted a male of the species!! The men's 'fragrances' are portrayed by young men who always look angry and I often feel that they are too much in love with themselves to be bothered with a woman and if they did they would probably not pay her much attention.
It's a great pity that they don't give us more information about the perfume such as what the main notes are or the price, or maybe even real women in proper clothes wearing the perfume instead. I know that advertising doesn't influence me when I buy perfume and it never has, I go by the smell.
Sorry I laughed my socks off when I read this, which perfume was it that attracts miffed looking blokes so I can be sure to avoid it, I'll go for the orgasmic one instead ;)
