Vibrant. Flirtatious. Light Hearted. These were dubbed names on how to describe the latest women perfume of Marc Jacobs “Oh! Lola!”

But it seems like UK doesn’t give a damn good impression on the way it was exposed to the public. The ad of the said perfume was banned, saying that it appears to sexualize a child, which could really drive an offensive (–foul word(s) removed–)ault.

The ad’s starring actress Dakota Fanning, who is well known for the movies Charlotte’s Web, The Twilight Saga, and I am Sam, looked under 16 years old in her appearance in the said ad, causing the advertising standards watchdog to consider the ad to be sexually unpleasant.

Advertising Standards Authority said that four readers actually complained about the ad, knowing that the ad flaunts a 17-year-old girl in pale short dress and sits with an oversized perfume bottle that is situated between her legs.

However, perfume maker Coty UK justified that they didn’t receive any complaints about it, and although it seems to be provocative, it wasn’t indecent.
