Ryan Reynolds: The New 'Boss Bottled' Fragrance Hunk!

I first saw Ryan Reynolds in the TV series '2 guys, a girl and a pizza place'. I wasn't wowed or considered him a hunk or superstar. Fast forward years later, the Canadian star got older, got muscled, got more masculine appeal and is now in hot pursuit for fan girls and fan boys alike. I love him in The Proposal (which I envied Sandra Bullock for lip-locking him!), and highly anticipating his debut as the Green Lantern in another upcoming comic book turned movie role. Don't you love guys who wear spandex and has a powerful 'jewellery' that saves the world?

Nuff' said, Ryan Reynolds also joins the hunks galore (the likes of Alex Lundqvist, Gabriel Aubry and Marius Hordijk) of previous Boss Bottled fragrance spokesperson (Watch the 3 hunks in action here), starring in the ad campaign of the new 'Boss Bottled Night'. Amazing apartment, impeccably groomed and styled Ryan... who can resist the charm of such persuasive advertising? I want a bottle now. Except I would have love to see Ryan doing the signature 'out of the shower' scene, half naked like his predecessors. Awww... what a disappointment:-p He should be allowed to flaunt his abs.

Nonetheless, Ryan rules!

New Hunk For Boss By Hugo Boss Fragrance - Marius Hordijk

Boss By Hugo Boss fragrance is one of the hottest and my favourite TV commercial for men's fragrance. It all started with Alex Lundqvist, one of the top 90's super male models. The TVC has a simple idea. It depicts a hottie getting ready for the day. Sexy scenes of him getting out of bed and then the showers...a good excuse to show some flesh and ending with him dressing impeccably before he steps out of the house. All this scenes paints an image of successful, handsome, young professionals having it all in life. Fragrance ads thrives on creating aspirations with the audience, a lust for the dream lifestyle that may or may not happen in reality. It's effective and it worked for me in the very least. I bought the fragrance upon first seeing the ad.:-)

Eventually, Alex grew out of favour of the audience (getting old..it's a cruel world out there) and his successor was another eye candy Gabriel Aubry (his beau is beautiful Halle Berry, I assume their baby will grow up to be creme de la creme of beauty since both parents look so gorgeous). For Gabriel's version, the same scenes are reshot to look more contemporary, but still as 'provocative' and hot!

And now with an almost 6 years lapse, my new favourite...Marius Hordijk starring in his the new version of the Boss commercial. Check him out...I got adrenalin pumping with the first few scenes of him just out of the showers. Love he enters the 'holey moley-I am drooling' huge walk-in closet, wearing his towel very low on his waist:-P Yum. I think the ad just rekindle my interest in the fragrance:-P Me want to smell like Boss again. I am easily 'persuaded' by hot models in sexy TVCs.:-P Just like Jamie Dornan's Dior Homme Fragrance commercial.

So my fellow blog readers....which of these 3 hotties did the sexiest take of the commercial? Vote now!

Prada Infusion D'Homme Fragrance - A Short Movie Project

In a continuation of the support in innovation and experimentation, Prada has commissioned nine directors from different parts of the world to create a series of short movie as inspired by the new Infusion D'homme fragrance. I love the clips as featured on the Prada website (www.prada.com), shows a different perspective on how different cultures interpret the concept and their own style and unique vision that is reflective of where they are from.

The french submission is my favourite. Named 'To Myself', it's a story of how one should set about fulfilling his life, dare to dream and to look forward and not backwards in life. Very meaningful and sweet.

Dolce and Gabbana The One for Men Fragrance

Watch out guys...for the new fragrance by the italian duo, infamous for sexy, sensual and masculine modern menswear. The newly launched fragrance has already hit the stores in Europe and my friend from UK used it on our trip to Bali, which smelled excellent. I am planning to get one for myself once Singapore gets the stock. Mathew McConaughey is the spokesperson for the advertising. Very sensual TV spot. But I love the musky scent and bottle design the most. Should hit Singapore stores soon.

Here's the synopsis for the concept of the fragrance:

The One for Men perfectly reflects the Dolce & Gabbana man: charismatic and seductive, elegant and sophisticated, he loves taking care of himself. A modern hedonist who nevers passes by unobserved.

“We dedicate The One for Men to the Dolce & Gabbana man: modern, sensual, cosmopolitan, attentive to caring for himself and his body. A man blessed with inborn charisma, self confidence, and no fear in expressing his personality through the perfume he wears.”

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
