Not feeling Brad Pitt’s Chanel No. 5 ad? This second video may change your mind
And the plot thickens. The saga of Chanel No. 5’s Brad Pitt campaign continues with a second edition of the commercial. The monologue from Monday’s ad—which is voiced by Pitt, the brand’s first male ambassador for the fragrance—remains the same only now the commercial is less about his brooding face and more about Chanel No. 5.
Playing into the “wherever I go, there you are” messaging, the commercial shows various Chanel-styled women (one even walks on water!) looking longingly into the distance. Probably thinking about Brad Pitt.
When the 30-second video cuts back to Pitt so he can say “inevitable,” it’s a strange combination---his face is still in black and white while the new cuts of women are bright and feel fairly futuristic. Neither commercial has really resonated with us (except for the fact we get to stare at Brad Pitt) so we’re curious if there’s a third version to come.
