I just noticed there's an actual sequence that the four commercials are designed to be viewed, based on the prop that she steals in each one. By the way the props gradually appear next to the perfume bottle, the sequence should be: King chess piece, flower blossom, tiny journal, black shawl.

I remember so many people used to respond with "huh?!" "what?!" So many people didn't get it and thought it was just plain weird. Still, the commercials were unforgettable so they work somehow. Saturday night live even imitated those commercials.

I love high art 80s commercials, so I sought these out. Imagine my absolute pleasure to realize that at least one of them is from "The Great Gatsby"! I think another might be Franz Kafka. I was a very little person when these were released. I'm surprised that so many adults didn't recognize the literary allusions.

@@FranSanTeeth90 I love the second one where the woman gets slapped. I remember when it originally came out and I saw it years ago. I was a teenager at the time. I remember I laughed my head off when she slapped that woman and said "Save me!". I was thinking Whaaaaaaaaatttt????!!!!! This was an early introduction to weirdness, for me, and I loved every minute of it! LOL!!

Pretentious garbage maskeraded as tributes. This reminds me to that episode of Futurama "future stock" where the 80s guy decided to get some 'professionals' to do a new commercial for the company he was working at and they did the most "artsy" pretentious whack 😂 it was soooo 80s, like these Clavin Klein commercials, couldn't stop laughing. Whoever wrote for that show was genius.

You have Dior Sauvage commercial with Depp, and then there is this lol. 2 of the best selling and smelling (generational) fragrances. I think people laughed at these commercials, what sold it was the samples in magazines. Celebs talking about CK. Then it was everywhere. I have a bottle and even though i wouldnt want to wear it everyday now, I wont get rid of it. I love to open and spray now and then, scent opens my mind to 90s and yes it still smells good to me. Also for an EDT, CK Obsession lasts for almost 24 hours it seems.
