Kenzo World – ‘The New Fragrance’

 

Actress Margaret Qualley dances her heart out in the lobby of a classy venue in Kenzo’s new perfume advert. The advert, which was directed by Spike Jonze has similarities to Fatboy Slim’s famous music video ‘Weapon of Choice’, which was also one of Spike Jonze projects. The dancing is also reminiscent of Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ advert, with choreography from the same choreographer. The synch licensed song mimics the crazy and upbeat theme of the advert.
