Nice list. Btw are you a perfumista (just like fashionista is a fan of fashion, then perfumista is a fan of perfumes)? Before you ask back, no I'm not LOL.
Anyway compared to Nicole Kidman's, I still prefer Audrey Tautou's version of Chanel #5 TV commercial. Kidman's was a bit too Hollywood-ish for me.
And I think you should include Elizabeth Taylor's perfume commercial (choose any of them, such as White Diamonds etc) as she was one of the pioneers of celebrity perfume endorser who was pretty successful with her perfume sales. Without her, there will be no celebs perfume niche which is later followed by most modern artists we know today. Nowadays, seems like EVERYONE in Hollywood is making (or endorsing) perfumes.
And what about Shalimar, also an iconic perfume in the same breath of Chanel #5 (If Chanel #5 represents everything that is considered feminine, elegant and clean, then Shalimar is the complete opposite of that - dirty, smoky, sensual, and most of all "unclean"). Recent perfume ad in 2008 was by Natalia Vodianova, but the more famous one was back in the '60s with Brigitte Bardot as its poster girl. As a matter of fact, several of new Shalimar campaigns have some Bardot element in it. Such as the newest Natalia Vodianova's ad, it features the song "Initials BB" which was written by Serge Gainsbourg in the early '60s as a tribute to Bardot (thus the initial BB).
