Perfume commercials have a tough task to complete; they're advertising through [[{{UsefulNotes/Television}} a medium]] that cannot possibly convey their product's ''sole feature'': the smell. The solution, such as it is, is to create an association with 'raw' human desire, elegance, beauty, and wealth via [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible incomprehensible art]]. When executed well, it looks like a glamorous clothing commercial; when done poorly, they may [[DesignStudentsOrgasm fall prey to]] [[WhatWereTheySellingAgain not having anything to]] [[DadaAd do with the product.]]
