Perfume & aftershave adverts

[AmericanThunder]

I have some sympathy for those responsible for creating the large number of perfume & aftershave adverts we get at this time of year.
But my question is that if you were going to buy a 'smelly' do the adverts help?
My view is not. Not matter how alluring to the opposite sex they promise, you aren't going to buy anything without smelling it first which means going into a store where you can see all the brands on offer. So really what do the adverts actually do? Not a lot until smellavision is invented!

If I see an advert too much I go out my way to avoid their products. As for smellies, certainly try in shop before buying.

my gran used to say "one stink to cover up another stink" and if anybody gave her any she would say "do you think i stink"

Maybe something to that way of thinking
