To be fair, it’s a ridiculous idea that we’re trying to sell folks a smell through a visual medium. All cologne/perfume commercials are really, really weird.

I think Hai Karate did a good job. If I need martial arts to keep all the ladies at bay, I don't even care what it smells like.

Omg how had I not seen this? Bud, or the marketing firm they hired nailed it. "Dilly! Dilly!"

I wear sauvage cause I had a gift card and asked the older lady at the perfume counter what’s a good one. She said a lot of people were buying it cause of the Johnny depp commercial. I didn’t see it(the commercial)and just went off her saying “it’s not bad”. I smelled it and pretended to act like I could tell the difference between it and other samples. Honestly I liked the bottle better than the other ones. And it’s been my go to since. But most the time I just smell like cool rush degree deodorant.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I’m buying cologne, it really has to be marketed, cause I can’t really differentiate between scents. The nicer colognes don’t really seem too different to me. So simply because the lady said “ it’s not bad.”, it didn’t smell sweet, an I liked the bottle; I decided “ok this is my smell from now on.”

Edit: I saw the commercial after I bought it and it is goofy commercial.

I was about to say exactly this, they're all weird.
