She gets on a bus, 2 or 3 women turn to gaze at her. She runs through a cafe, same thing. She <BR/>sprints down a sidewalk, same thing. It's freaking her out. At the end, she's back to her apartment, jabbering angrily at her boyfriend. Turns out he has accidentally/on purpose put his cologne into her perfume dispenser, and the scent on her has been driving all these women into heat...<BR/><BR/>In the other commercial, seemingly a LA DOLCE VITA homage, in black and white, a beautiful young woman is at an outdoor cafe with an older, wealthy man. A young stud <BR/>walks by in sunglasses and jacket, he gives her a come-hither look, and she immediately comes-hither. She gets up and abandons the old fart, much to his annoyance. As she leaves, a thread of her little black dress gets caught on the table somehow, so as she walks away, her dress is slowly unraveling, revealing her behind to the old guy.<BR/><BR/>(The ad may have been to promote the sunglasses!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
