Am I alone in believing that perfume ads often try for "deep" but wind up outlandish? Is it too hard to ask for a brief description of the scent? I can't run to Sephora every five minutes, so give me a hint and tell me if a fragrance is fruity, woodsy or floral. The ad that got me going here was a 60-second video for Alien, the latest fragrance from Thierry Mugler.  We see a dark castle with a lone statue inside. When the sun begins to rise, the statue awakens as a model who is filled with sunlight from the inside out. The entire castle is now glowing with energy while the model keeps her bottle of Alien hovering above her hand. So I'm thinking, maybe a nice floral scent? See the video here, directed by Floria Sigismondi and produced by QUAD Films/ Believe Media.
