The Yves Saint Laurent TV ad for Belle D'Opium has been banned in the UK as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) considered the woman running her finger down her inner arm is simulating drug use.
The new ad for Belle D'Opium fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent features French actress Melanie Thierry dancing sensuously, in a series of captivating gestures. At one moment in the commercial, she runs a finger down the inside of her forearm. In the end of the clip a voice says:
"I am your addiction, I am Belle D'Opium. The new fragrance by Yves St Laurent."
The actress running her finger down her inner arm was the main reason for the ad to be banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) after receiving 13 complaints from viewers saying that the ad was offensive as the actress is simulating drug use. Moreover, ASA was also concerned by the fact that the actual dance scene, consisting of short and rapid movements, ending with the actress lying on the floor, might be considered as simulating the effect of drugs on the body.
"While we noted the consumer research found that most viewers did not consider the ad to be offensive, we nevertheless considered the woman's actions simulated drug use, and therefore concluded it was irresponsible and unacceptable for broadcast" ASA said.
