The top 9 best perfume ads on television

Throughout history, perfume brands have created television adverts that have revolutionised this sector by exciting and inspiring us. Most of these adverts have opted for a creative story telling format, based on short scenes capturing beauty and holding the audience’ attention until the end. In addition, many of these ads have been positively valued for their ability to change stereotypes and fight against prejudice in a creative fashion.

The success of these advertising creations has been in that many people have chosen a new scent before even being able to smell it. Below we have made a list of the best perfume ads that have passed through the history of television. You will want to see them all again!

Calvin Klein's CK One, (DIVAIN-030), advertising is as revolutionary as the fragrance. In just 30 seconds of this advert we can understand why it was the latest perfume for everyone. The advert features an older woman, couples kissing, dance groups, and a young Kate Moss, having one thing in common: the new unisex fragrance.

2. J’Adore Absolu by Christian Dior

Another of the most recognisable fragrance ads is Dior's J’adore Absolu, directed by visionary Romain Gavras and starring Charlize Theron.
