It would be belittling to call the "Chanel No. 5" video staring Nicole Kidman a commercial. The clear defined narrative, tone, and aesthetic points to a Parisian mystery story associated with a starlet who had run away to be with a handsome lover. This 2 minute commercial for perfume is actually a 2 minute film that goes over so many classic cinema tropes, that viewers are left with goose bumps and chills from the fast impact of the Chanel No. 5 piece.
Prepare to be moved when Nicole Kidman whispers half way into the film, "No one can steal our dream. No one."
