What's the deal with that TV advert for Oust?
It's a room deodorant and you spray it presumably when the place stinks a bit.
The TV ad features no men whatsoever. Not one.
I'm left to conclude that only women care if a room is stinky or that only women buy this stuff.. or both
Now that I think about it I saw a can of that stuff in my Brother's place at the weekend. Hence I have proof that a man did buy a can.Once.
So why are there no men on the ad? Just lots of smiling women, clearly delighted that the smell is gone.
Don't believe me? Here's the ad.(sorry.. it's an MPEG.. how 90s is that?)

To be fair there's only a couple of women in the ad.
If it takes away the smell from a room then why not body odour? That may be the reason there are no men. They use it as deodorant,
ok maybe that ad wasn't so clear. I couldn't find the one I saw on my own TV.
In the ad I saw there were 4 main characters all blathering on about how wonderful the spray is. All young women.
Then at the end of the ad the 4 windows are scaled down to be really small and the whole screen fills up with little windows, each with a woman in it.
I mean where was the window with my brother? He bought a can. He should be up there representing, if you catch my drift.
I'm kind of terrified that you'd even think of using it as a deodorant. Imagine that. 10 people all sitting around a table, 9 of whom smell like spring and 1 smelling like the inside of a new Volkswagen Golf.
And let's be honest. Men contribute more than their fair share of household odours. So surely men should be buying this stuff to cover up their shame before the other half arrives with the pizza and chateauneuf du pape...
Do you have Febreeze in Ireland? I use that on my room to try to mask my rugged man-smell. Doesn't really work so well.
yeah we have Febreeze. It's kind of marketed as being the thing to remove pet odours..
No doubt it will remove the lingering traces of rugged men in Ireland too.
