Procter & Gamble are promoting Old Spice anti perspirant and deodorant collection Fiji, Denali, Matterhorn and Komodo in a new advertising campaign featuring Isaiah Mustafa, the man you could smell like. Old Spice chose Chris Gatewood, online at Twitter as @chrisscross, as its “super fan” and allowed him advanced access to the spot and to distribute it as the saw fit. The commercial, “Scent Vacation”, is now developing as a series of commercials.

For the cost of a stick of antiperspirant you can send your armpits to the exotic islands of Fiji where they will smell like palm trees and sunshine. Compare that to sending your entire body to Fiji, which costs thousands. Click on the image below to play the Fiji video in YouTube (HD)

Can the Komodo dragon turn invisible? Don’t be silly. The Komodo dragon merely strikes so suddenly that you’re dead before that obnoxious person in your tour group says, “Hey, stand closer to that DANGER: KOMODO DRAGON sign. Hello! New profile pic!” Our anti-perspirant works in a similar fashion, only it helps kill odor-causing bacteria, the unwanted tourist. Click on the image below to play the video in YouTube (HD)
