Ranking 7 Random Celebrity Fragrance Commercials
By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Seriously Random Lists | Comments (12)
Never in my life have I said to my wife, “It’d be really great if you smelled more like Penelope Cruz,” in part because I don’t know what Penelope Cruz smells like, and in part because I value my testicles. But apparently, celebrities — and in some cases, high-profile directors — are the idea pitch-people for fragrances. I don’t get it, but then again, I’m not the market. I’m not sure who that market is. Has anyone here ever bought a celebrity fragrance? And did you go home and say to your significant other, “Ravish me! I smell like Eva Mendes?”
Below I have ranked seven random celebrity fragrance commercials based on, well, my brain says style, but my tingly nethers say raciness.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom — Unbreakable
Awesome. You can smell like a locker room and the sister of a manufactured celebrity at the same time. And it’s unisex.
Christina Aguilera — Royal Desire
The tagline says, “Feel like a queen,” but the commercial says, “On sale at Target.”
Natalie Portman — Miss Dior Cherie
This one is directed by Sofia Coppola, and at least the product is frequently in the frame, although there’s not a lot to be said for nuzzling a perfume bottle.
Keira Knightley — Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Director Joe Wright knows how to sell a fragrance. She pouts. She wears zip-up pants. She rides a motorcycle. She must smell delicious, right?
Charlize Theron — Dior J’Adore Perfume
The woman knows how to take off a pair of earrings. And you have to admire that neck. It’s so long.
Eva Mendes — Secret Obsession
Oops. Ms. Mendes let a nipple get away from her here.
Beyonce — Heat
Man, I don’t know if a sweaty, nearly nude Beyonce would make me want to buy her fragrance, but it certainly makes me want to watch the ad. Again.

I don't wear perfume at all, much less celebrity scents. I think that if I did wear perfume, I would be much less likely to wear a celebrity scent (one "designed" by a celebrity, not just endorsed by one). It really would depend on what it smelled like, which is much more important to me than how an ad looks or who is in it.
Honestly, I had no idea that was Charlize Theron in that ad. That one is, in fact, the only one of the bunch I've seen and frankly, I hate it. I don't know why, I just do.
