    Egoista, dove sei?
    Si mostri, Lei il disgraziato!
    Sia sicuro della mia rabbia, io sarò spietata!
    O va su tutte le furie, disperi, O che il mio amore ha tradito!
    Non ho vissuto a tal punto che per questa infamia?
    Lo mostri, egoista!
    Egoista!

  6. 6 Rachegotter said at 1:32 pm on January 20th, 2010:

    Yes, the first few words are from Pierre Corneille in “Le Cid” (1636).

    “Ô rage ! Ô désespoir ! Ô vieillesse ennemie !
    N’ai-je donc tant vécu que pour cette infamie ?”

    They made a few changes for the commercial.

    Fantastic ad. Chanel should go back to the dramatic, iconic ads instead of sticking with the new featurette, ridiculous, celebrity filled ones. These old ads really convey the sophistication of Chanel whereas the new ones convey the tacky, celebrity obsessed mindsets of any and every mediocre fashion house. Back to the good old days of cigarettes, courvoisier and black please.

    it should be exactly the same as these on youtube except the male voiceover is ‘chanel, for a man’ instead of ‘pour l’homme’..

    if you have this english version I would be grateful to see it up here on youtube..or if you could somehow send it me i seem to remember they kept the original french girls’ french text in the end and just dubbed my two little lines over,

    does anyone have a video copy of the English version of this?? we recorded it on 1990 in London with a load of screaming actresses all going mental… I did the voiceover. Would seriously be very happy to find the English clip : )

    This is from a Canadian broadcast, since Eaton’s was Canada’s premier department store.

    Prokofiev – Dance of the Nights from the Opera Romeo & Juliet…

    Brilliant commercial, you don’t see them this good these days!

  21. 21 Pfalzgreven said at 8:45 pm on January 20th, 2010:

    I’m gonna get me a copy on CD one of these days … love it!

  22. 22 iyabom said at 9:29 pm on January 20th, 2010:

    Yeah I love the ad too. The piece of music is by Prokofiev – Dance of the Knights. I don’t know what the french lyrics are, but Egoiste means selfish.

  23. 23 Pfalzgreven said at 10:15 pm on January 20th, 2010:

    You are THE MAN!!!
    I’ve been trying to identify this piece since I first heard it in ”Caligula’ some 10 years ago!

    THANK YOU!!!

  24. 24 Pfalzgreven said at 10:24 pm on January 20th, 2010:

    This perfume has been my signatur sent for ages now, but I just resently found this commercial.

    PLEASE IDENTIFY THIS PIECE OF MUSIC!

    I have been watching the clip close to a hundred times now, it’s fucking amazing.
    Is it really Le Cid by Pierre Corneille?!

    Is the French lyrics Chanel’s work, or are the lyrics original?!

    Ô Rage! Ô Désespoir! Ô mon amour trahi!

    BRILLIANT!
