The second part of the Brad Pitt for [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-perfuming) 5 video campaign was released yesterday to accompany the first monochromatic short which highlighted Pitt as a profound thinker and idealist. Since Pitt is the first male to endorse a women’s perfume, incorporating [sensuality and desire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-man-extreme) was necessary, and became second advertisement’s biggest focal point.

The profound speech of the journey one must take through life leaves Pitt summing up the ending of the advertisement with the connection between two souls and the scent of the perfume as this attaching link. In addition to Brad Pitt, this new advertisement flashes beautiful women looking onto beautiful cities, romanticizing the yellow-pigmented pictures of each digital shot.
