    I love Scarlett Johansson but I’ve got to agree with Prism–Giselle did it better. Johansson is pretty but whenever she does these endorsements she seems so unnatural. Like her ads for D&G’s makeup line? She looked quite uncomfortable.

    Oh well.

    Can’t disagree, and for anyone who’s never seen it, here it is:

      this one full blown modern glamour, paparazzi, flashbulbs, fashion show, jet set, sex appeal. basically a lot of thing associated with Dolce & Gabbana.

      this is too….. romantic. it might work with “Rose The One”, but not with the original “The One”.

        I agree – I actually thought it was for Rose The One! The Giselle one was much better suited.

        I like the lipstick Scarlett is wearing here though.

    She seemed like she was completely bored with it.

    Like she was somewhere else.

      That’s kind of her persona, I think.

    It’s your integrity, Scarlett, and, look, it’s over there, hidden underneath that big, fat paycheck…

    Tried The One and Rose The One today for the first time – thx to this blog for the inspiration 😉

    Love them both. Preferred Rose at first, but after both had evolved for about 20 minutes or so on my skin, The One got my final vote. Got a sample; gonna try it this week and see if I’m going to buy it…

    They also superpose beautifully.

      They’re not big favorites of mine, but they’re very popular!
