I was in a store looking for a new fragrance the other day, when I came across an ENTIRE isle, purely dedicated to celebrity perfumes!
Nowadays, if you're a "celebrity" and you have no fragrance and/or clothing line, you are as good as Jessica Simpson's country music career...
It used to be only a few celerities, like J.Lo and Celine Dion, who made fragrances, and that was refreshing and new, but now? Uurgh, any-freaking-body can have a fragrance, it has gotten so old and boring..
But enough bitching from me,I've decided to review 5 celebrity fragrance ads, based on theparticular celebrity's rank on the Forbes list 2010 :), cos it has to be selling well if they made it onto the Forbes list right...?
Here we go...first up, Beyonce Knowles, with her first perfume, Heat. I love the ad, the catch phrase, just the whole concept of it, and having earnings of $87 million in the past year, Beyonce shows no signs of slowing down.
Judge for yourself...thoughts?
Next up is Britney Spears, with earnings estimated at $64 million in the past year alone,Britney's fragrances rank among the world's best selling fragrances, which would explain those millions!!! Damn!
With her 6th ( I think..) fragrance, titled "Radiance" she went with more or less the same ad as "Curious" and "Fantasy" which is not to say that I don't like it...I'm just not crazy about it...what do you think?
Next up is Jennifer Aniston, at $27 million in earnings in the past year. This was her first fragrance. I hate the ad. I see no sign of her fragrance bottle, its name. NOTHING.
All I see is poor little Jennifer Aniston, sitting on some rocks with a little blankie. I wouldn't so much as touch this fragrance. What a nasty nasty ad, which is a pity cos I love her! I absolutely adore her, but her ad sucks. Period.
I searched for a photo of her promoting the ad so you could at least see the name of the perfume and everything. Hopefully it has a gorgeous, elegant scent, to make up for the crappy ad...
Up next is the woman who embodied Carrie Bradshaw!!!! I love Sarah Jessica Parker just for that: Sex and the City. Which would maybe explain why she decided to name her scent SJP NYC...at least that's my theory. I won't go into it in detail, but here goes: love the colours, the ad is funky, but she looks really fugly in those ads...unfortunately.
I doubt she gives a damn though, she made herself $25 million in the past year, fugly or not, girl is laughing all the way to the bank!!
Last but not least, my fellow Capricorn, and super stylish fashionista, Kate Moss. This is her 3rd perfume ( again...I think) and its titled "Vintage" which is something, if you've been following the blog,i LOVE!!
The ad corresponds with the name of the fragrance, it's beautiful, elegant, vintage and it gives you this feeling of chic simplicity, i really do love it. I also happened to have tested this one, it smells divine! Add to that the fact that she netted herself $9 million, while she doesn't sing, act or dance...I say well done Mossy.
P.S. just so you know, all the above-mentioned celebrities, except for Jennifer Aniston, have their own clothing lines...maybe I'll preview my top 5 celebrity clothing lines for my next post..watch the space!!
