This is an ad for a new perfume by Victoria and David Beckham. It just shows what everyone already knows, that sex sells, and I know for a fact that these perfumes will sell. This is a very good ad even though I’m sure it didn’t take much thought at all. It’s a classic example of showing people that if you buy this perfume, you will be as gorgeous as them and find someone to love and be as happy with and look as good as they seem and look together. It plays upon societies self consciousness and lack of self confidence because you know that there are many more people out there who are dying to be like them than there are people who are already look like them and don’t think they need the perfume because they cant get any better. This ad is also good because it is unisex and sells to both males and females, it is dark and masculine for the men and shows that they can get a woman like her and it is fun and flirty for the women because of her position and the color purple. It wouldn’t even matter what exactly the perfume smells like, when buying a perfume no one really analyses the smell and how it smells on them as much as they do who made it and what the bottle looks like. On the ad they really look like they are having a good time and it seems as though it is all because of what they smell like, it seems like you will have a intimate time just like they are publically displaying if you buy their perfume and wear it out at night. I personally would choose a perfume by Posh and David especially with an ad like this, anytime over a perfume by lets say Danielle Steel ( which she does have) even if Danielle’s perfume smelt better.
