    There is Fahrenheit soap? How come I did not know this? Must remedy this lack of said soap post haste.

      Then it was worth whatever this ad spot cost, right?

    I guess I’m an outlier in that I like mature man abs…less definition, girthier, and a little hair wouldn’t hurt. We need an AB Emoji…?

      I don’t know that it makes you an outlier, and the “Nice Abs” titles are really meant rather tongue in cheek, just because they are such a frequent feature in men’s fragrance ads, along with motorcycles and Italian convertibles, etc…the minute I saw he was stripped down to his shorts I figured we’d get a good abs shot. So in other words I don’t use the title because I am interested in the model, or his abs.

      I suppose I could put that whole thing as a footnote every time, but actually maybe it’s nicer if people just take it the way they want.

      I was making a joke in my comment above. My reaction when he was first shown was, “That looks a little too much like my son walking away from me.”

    I read your headline several times. Was it Italian? Portuguese, Welsh? Swedish? The words were not computing in English in my mind! My brain did: City of Nice, a.b.s., part, last name of Bazillionty or maybe Brazillionty, and 3. Oy. It will be a long day.

    It didn’t say much, but it also didn’t make me cringe, which in terms of fragrance advertising must mean it’s a masterpiece.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see Fahrenheit in the ad. Glad they did not forget their pillars.
