Most of this advertisment is taken up by a large black and white skunk with a very large tail facing towards the viewer. The skunk’s head is also turning around from the back to make eye contact with the viewer. Above this image there is text creating a double meaning with the word “tail.” And below the image the text is advertising Alpine’s line of fragrances.

[transcription]

Anyone can say they’ll move their tail to get you a fragrance.
But will it be the right fragrance? At Alpine, we’re not happy with a fragrance until you and your costomer are. And that’s a whole different animal.

[additional notes]

The first reason I found this advertisment interesting is becuase of how intricate the black and white drawing of the skunk was. The second reason I found this advertisment interesting because, unlike most of the other advertisments I found, this one focused on the drawings of a skunk (a typically un appealing object) as apposed to a conventially attractive woman.
