This advert is fantastic !!! I Love it !! It is such a gentle, nostalgic, romantic type compared to the "in your face" adverts of today....The music is great and really evokes the era as does the fashion and style ....... I wonder if you can buy a DVD with all these lovely 70's ads on [including this one] and I agree there is just something about this ad that makes you feel happy.........?

Why is this so wonderful? I cannot put my finger on it but it is.

@JHollowayNetwork I thought so too. Strangely, I've *heard* a version of this commercial that is longer. It's sampled by both Saint Etienne and Meat Beat Manifesto.

I was delighted to find this ad after years of searching. So fascinating to know I was not the only person to have remembered its magic all these years....What was it about this ad that touched so many? I can only think it represented a moment of glorious possibility during our childhood, I so wanted to be that girl when I grew up, and a dab of Chanel No 5 could make it happen! I grew into a different woman altogether but I never forgot the glamour of this lady and wonderful ad.

@vidform What I remember is an advert for Chanel in the early 70's, where a woman (Catherine Deneuve, perhaps?) disguised in a tweed jacket and hat invades the stuffy atmosphere of a gentlemen's dining club. The music was a beautiful jazz flute riff which has stayed with me over the years. 30 seconds of heaven. But there is no trace of this anywhere on the net. Did I imagine it...?

[MrParsley123]

Why don't we start a club dedecated to this genre! we could all meet every sunday afternoon when threre's nothing to do and sit around drinking doubonnet or campari and prattel on about the good ole days.....

@RichRedux Where can I find the companion advert called "Gentleman's Club"? Is it for Chanel No 5 also? I'd love to hear the music in that commercial too if I can find it.

[vidform]

This commercial is simply gorgeous. Does anyone know what song they are playing? It's an easy-listening piece with gorgeous strings, flutes and harps. Can someone please identify the music and artist/composer of that music? That would be very helpful. I don't think it's by Henry Mancini or Percy Faith. Not sure but would love to find the name of that song and who recorded it. Thanks.

@Hamballdoll Agreed!! I distinctly remember seeing this advert as a very young child and being enthralled by it... even at such a young age. I couldn't wait to grow up and have a flat in London with all those fabulous paintings! :) :)
