Advertisments are used to sell products to consumers in an attempt to arrest attention and affect communication, by giving audiences images that will give them feelings of motivation and desire.

This ad contains many appeals the first one that comes to mind is sex.

This ad reaches out to both men and women because both sides can be attracted to what’s going on. The ad says “The new fragrance for him” this message is being reached out to
