Description:
Two dancers apart in a barren building / studio stand on two sides of the frame. The ambience of the place is rugged but yet complementing the theme of the brand. Both the dancers have their own charismatic presence, they start to dance and demonstrate their skill set to one another. With every step they come closer, they form various formations which are in lieu of the intercuts of the close ups of the perfume bottle. The conflict of display and proving who is better; goes away as they start to swirl together in the center of the frame which then dissolves with powder and smoke giving way to the shape of the bottle.
