Star: Sharon Stone
Product: Charlie perfume
Year: 1983
Sample lyric: “The more you tease, the more you please! You’re so Charlie!”
Perfume ads are a bit different from the other commercials here, more likely to feature an already-famous than an almost-famous person, and Sharon Stone had already been in Stardust Memories and Silver Spoons when this ad aired—even though she wouldn’t hit her stride with Total Recall and Basic Instinct until the ’90s. But even in the ’80s, the “beautiful woman + fancy life + seduction = perfume ad” formula was as it is now. It just used to be a lot more musical. And brighter. And in front of a blue-sky background. And with bigger hair.
Otherwise, totally the same.
