100 Provocative Perfume Ads

From Man-Attracting Potions to Cash-Scented Perfumes

— January 24, 2012 — Fashion
If you’re hooked on fragrances, then you might be familiar with many of these incredible and attention-grabbing perfume ads. From Natalie Portman’s gorgeous topless shots for Miss Dior Cherie, to Kim Kardashian’s gold-covered advertisements, it seems that perfume ads are getting stranger and more provocative every season.

Perhaps the most confusing perfume ad of the year is fashion line Paco Rabanne tapping punk rock legend Iggy Pop as the face of the fragrance. However, it’s not just the advertising campaigns that will leave you scratching your head in confusion. These days, perfumes are being released in the most outrageous scents such as leather, urine, cash, and even bacon.

These perfume ads range from being sophisticated and elegant, to trashy and wild.
