As you'd expect from the Christmas edition, this month's Vogue is a bumper issue for perfume ads. The inside cover is devoted to a new fragrance, Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir.
Acqua di Gioia, with their over-photo-shopped model.
Charlize Theron is just a wisp of a person for Dior J'Adore.
Scarlett Johansson, looking bored for Dolce & Gabbana's The One. Why would they choose such a lively and vivacious actress and put her into such a corpse-like pose?
Guerlain's one page advert for their new fragrance Idylle.
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf includes a sample. I'd forgotten how tooth-rottingly sweet this one is.
Tom Ford's double page spread for Black Orchid. This is probably the most memorable perfume campaignof the last few years.
Justin Timberlake for Givenchy Play. There's still something about that hat. Is it Dick Van Dyke?
Voyage d'Hermes. Refreshing to see something that steps away from the usual imagery.
Narciso Rodriguez For Her featuring the heavenly Carmen Kass.
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique X. The packaging and advertising for the JPG fragrance range have always put me off. But Classique X is acutally a fresh citrus. Who knew?
L'Eau d'Issey is keeing it surreal with its lily, tulip, bark still life.
Gorgeous photograph of the impossibly gorgeous Lara Stone for Prada's Infusion D'Iris. Feminine Things has some interesting things to say about this image.
Van Cleef & Arpels. Is their nuclear dawn image really doing the job?
Balenciaga Paris. Charlotte Gainsbourg is beautiful, but it's the bottle that sells this one.
Jennifer Aniston is perfecting her sad, lost-puppy look. Oh puhlease.
Chloe Love is still rocking the 1980s power dressing and big hair look.
Sisley's Eau du Soir. I love this brand. Don't say anything bad about Sisley, I'm a fan.
Juicy Couture's Peace and Love. This rather lovely campaign reminds me of The Face's iconic Summer of Love photos of Kate Moss.
Agent Provocateur. Bums and boobs all round.
Favourites for the month. Lara Stone for being downright beautiful. And Juicy Couture for projecting the Summer of Love whimsy.
