Share the Fantasy - Chanel No. 5 Commercial, I Don't Want

Ah, I know what you mean. This has always been one of my favorite commercials ever since I saw it for the first time years ago. I also thought I'd never see it again until this wonderful video from "thecinadesk". Absolutely beautiful.

I agree that this is perfectly stunning. Strangely I never forgot it but never thought i would be seen it again. Thank you for posting. Do you know who the singer is?

@Pactrolus

Another reader said it was Bobby Short.

It does sound very much like him.

But I can't vouch for it 100%

I always felt there were intentional subliminal or obvious (deliberately) suggestions in this video, the airplane shadow (resembling something erect) moving up into the V shaped long channel of bldg. The first of these Chanel No. 5 Videos showed the long rectangular pool with a woman wearing a black one piece swim suit sitting on edge of pool at one end with her legs/thigs jacked up..... AS that long dark shadow of airplane slowly moving thru pool toward her.

Well spotted, I didn't notice it at the time and wouldn't have noticed it now but I think you are right!

Gee, thanks for friendly response. I thought I might get slammed. It's my exquisitely tuned feminist awareness of our shoddy male defined sexual culture, which women of course get totally drawn into and are, alas, flattered by. In the '80's MS Magazine started "No Comment" section on last page of issue, showing 4 or 5 ads, e.g. you started to see lipstick ads with a woman holding her arm up, tube pointed down to her open mouth with lipstick all the way out. Now it's worse and ubiquitous.

I think you are right about the suggestive nature of some of the video. However, unlike you, I think it's rather clever and enjoyable. I think you need to chill out.
It' s in men DNA to find women sexually attractive and it's in womens DNA to try to be sexually attractive for men. This is natures' way of ensuring the species is perpetuated and most of us enjoy it this way. And let's be honest there are enough commercials using attractive men as objects and I bet you don't complain about that.

I respectfully disagree. Please don't tell me to chill out. It's condescending. Most people, including you, just don't get it, even too many women. Men as sex objects is a contradiction in terms, no matter how much you and rest of society try to make issue gender neutral. Women's bodies are entered, penetrated. Kids see this stuff all the time and much worse.

How about two 8 yr old boys in MA who molested 5 yr old girl in back of school bus every time she wore a dress to school. Her parents noticed her losing weight and she was anxious and depressed. So don't patronize me with your biology class lessons about DNA in men/women. That's simplistic reductive nonsense. "Nature's way of ensuring species". REALLY !? BUT that's hardly the topic of discussion that I started out with. I'm frankly tired of TV thrusting FRAT boy humor down my throat 24/7.

Now, now! I think you are going slightly over the top. I am trying to be supportive. Sure there are some truly awful events that happen every day but I don't think you can blame many of them on Chanel No.5. Moreover, womens bodies are designed to be entered and penertrated (by men) and guess what, mostly they enjoy the experience and if you don't believe me, ask a few! I won't hold this against you because it not an issue for me but when you called yourself a feminist did you mean lesbian?
