For the most part. There is one commercial (I think it is for deodorant) with two young women sitting at a kitchen table, looking extremely bored and displeased while their boyfriends are watching a football game in the adjacent living room. One boyfriend runs into the kitchen and gives his girlfriend a quick hug then runs back into the living room. Apparently his scent immediately reminds her of all the nice things they have done. Her expression changes to joy and she tells her friend how great her boyfriend really is.

Ya, but even that one portrays the "boys" as mindless sports nuts - and the chicks are kvetching about it, until those olfactory driven memories tames the bitchfest.

ROTFLOL. But to be fair, the "chicks" are portrayed as mindless dullards with nothing better to do than sit around a kitchen table complaining about their boyfriends- and at least one of them is even so addled that the mere scent of her male counter-part is enough to keep her in line.

Another one that is a bit lopsided, though much more subtle is for Dentyne or some breath mint product. The young couple is in a night club / lounge, sitting at a table and listening to a band. The guy whips out his breath mints and suddenly everything in the room, including his date, is cloaked in red. The music is better and everyone's mood is heightened. So while his date went from drab colored clothing to radiant red, his apparel is untouched- apparently there was nothing about him that needed to be changed.
