TV perfume ads have always annoyed me. But then, the futility of hawking something whose sole practical effect is smell on a medium which is intrinsically unable to demonstrate that effect means that, unless they do not advertise at all, (note to chanel, CK, etc. Do us all a favour) all they can do is show meaningless films designed to imply that their whiff is somehow inextricably linked to a particular lifestyle. (In the case of Calvin Klein this would appear to be famine and chronic colour-blindness.)
When I'm rich and famous, I'll launch my own range of designer scents. I'll start with "Smell" and expand to "Pong", "Whiff", and "Stench". I'm sure they'll go down a treat with the right advertising.
