What, this fragrance didn't smell good enough already?

Questions to Consider:

  • What product is this ad selling?
  • Where is the product placed?
  • What is the woman's role in the images?

What We Think:

In this particular Tom Ford ad, the man is fully clothed and being groped by someone else who is obviously female. There is no visible clothing on the woman. The man has a look of complete satisfaction. The advertiser is trying to appeal to straight men. This ad is degrading to women in general because it uses a woman's body as a prop against which to show the perfume bottle.
