Lynx, the Unilever Body Spray, was promoted in a British TV advert last week, in 60 seconds of bikini-clad women running towards a single Lynx-spraying man. The spot was aired on British televisions once, just before the England/Sweden match in the FIFA World Football Cup. The Lynx ‘Billions’ spot opens with two feet running over a jungle floor, birds singing in the background. A brunette, wearing a red bikini, leaps over logs and navigates her way through trees and swamps. Accompanied by rhythmic chants in Latin, she is joined by other red-bikini-wearing brunettes, all clearly competing in a cross-country race.
In another part of the island, green-bikini-wearing blondes race each other up a hill. Out in the sea women are swimming in towards a beach. The blondes run down their hill towards the beach. The brunettes burst out on to the beach. Finally we see what they’re racing towards. A young unshaven man, spraying himself with anticipation of being the object of desire for thousands of women. The tagline: “Spray More. Get More. The Lynx Effect”.
Apparently the producers of the Lynx Billions TV advert were honouring the sixtieth anniversary of the bikini’s introduction into modern usage by French engineer Louis Reard and fashion designer Jacques Heim in Paris, July 5, 1946.
