Smelly News: Watch the Trailer for Lady Gaga’s Fame Fragrance Commercial

What do you think?

If the scent is anywhere near as awesome as the Steven Klein directed commercial looks like it might be then I know that I will be a happy boy. But until I smell it I am firmly reserving all judgement on the juice.

Whilst we’re on the subject of the actual juice, I have pre-ordered my bottle and am led to believe that it should arrive next week. Not long to wait now!

    Although, I must admit, all those oranges festooned around her neck are making me a touch nervous. … (Seeing as unless it’s tangerines I’m not one much for ‘hesperidics’.)
    
    She best not disappoint us …. 🙂

    Aren’t they apricots? I’m sure Fame has “pulverised apricots” in it, or something like that anyway.

    Ah yes, how could I have thought otherwise, having read much about said ‘pulverised apricots’ – so I’m sure ur right. Apricots sound much better to me, as I’m pretty sure I won’t have a problem with them (or at least I certainly not !) – It was that split-open one close to her ear that somehow looked like an orange to me (?) … (Time to get me eyes checked methinks (LOL))

    I’m glad it’s not orange, not that I mind orange, apricot is just a little more interesting.

    Oops typo : ‘… certainly HOPE not’ – that should’ve read. 🙂

    And on second viewing, I imagine those ‘black berries’ entwined amongst the apricots must be the belladonna berries. (Deadly Nightshade berries certainly have a peculiar aroma – I’ve smelled Belladona essential oil before and it really is an unusual scent. Should lend it an interesting facet I would imagine.

How can any fragrance live up to that? But I hope it does. Can’t wait for your review.

Not a fan of the lady’s persona and music – but that’s a very nicely made advert, I’m impressed.
I still don’t think I’ll bother with the fragrance though 🙂

I’m neither here nor there about Lady Gaga, but I think my geek is showing when I say that really fascinating commercial gave me a major Ridley Scott moment…… Here’s hoping that Fame really is something different.

    Just discovered that Ridley Scott is actually the producer of this commercial, which I didn’t now before, so I’m feeling all chuffed about the fact I totally called it. Oh yeah, check out my bad geek self…. 🙂

The advert is truly fabulous and so Gaga! I’m afraid I remain sceptical about the juice…
