New Chanel No.5 Ad With Audrey Tautou Debuts

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

chanel ad

Oh, I have been looking forward to this one for a while: Chanel fragrance ads are usually over-the-top lavish, beautifully filmed and costumed – (who can forget Nicole “I love to dance” Kidman’s effort?) and the last one we saw was for Coco Mademoiselle, starring Kiera Knightley and soundtracked by Joss Stone.

The new No.5 ad stars Audrey Tautou – appropriately, as she’s playing Gabrielle Chanel in Coco avant Chanel, due for release this year – and it’s a different beast altogether. Less upbeat than the other two,  and while there’s always a love interest, this one’s a bit of a bad boy – he’s even a little sinister. Set on the Orient Express, there are two versions of the film on offer, a two minute 20 cinema version, and a shorter minute-long TV spot.

Enough of me waffling – check it out for yourselves and let us know what you think in a comment.

Posh Scent for a Mammy for The Christmas

chanel eau premiere

No5 for Christmas. It’s an open and shut case, surely? A classic fragrance, mammy’s and classy lassies the nation over adore it.

Sure fire festive-season hit, end of post.

But wait a sec – this is Eau Premiere, and it’s a new interpretation of the chic essential. The synthetic aldehydes that are present in the original are stripped out in this version, delivering a more modern, youthful fragrance.  So buy it for your mum  – but borrow it for yourself.

From €98, you’ll bag a bottle at department stores and posh pharmacies.
