Comments:

As most Abdulla advertisements of the time, this ad features an exotic woman and bright colors. Her glamorous posture with flowing, silk scarf, colorful bangles, glittering jewelry and fancy hair ornaments suggest an alluring Flamenco dancer. She holds the cigarette holder in her teeth as she smiles, the cigarette box in her left hand. The light background behind her seems to glow around her face and the cigarette products. Her confidence and exoticism attract women to the brand.

Dancer, Female, flamenco, Luxury, rich, sophisticated, woman
