I like the ad. Very feminine and seductive. Sort of Gilda-like. I never tried the scent, though. I'm afraid I'm very prejudiced against celebrity scents. 'La Madrague' (Brigitte Bardot; named after her own house in Saint Tropez) and Deneuve (Catherine Deneuve) were the only CS I ever wore. Beautiful, both of them. Especially Deneuve. Hard to get, these days. And awfully expensive.

I can understand why you might have a bias against celebrity fragrances. They seem a bit cult-oriented for one thing and who would want to feel like you are going to buy a perfume just based on the reputation and aura of someone who most of the time has little engagement with perfume? But I think that if the premice of a celeb scent might appear to be commercially crass, the perfumes themselves can be quite good.
La Madrague I don't know but Deneuve I have some that I had found.
To me celebrity perfumes are fun and interesting as a larger phenomenon.
