THE SAUVAGE MAN

The French word sauvage bears many definitions; it isn't just the moniker of the iconic Dior fragrance. In an exclusive interview, veteran actor Johnny Depp talks about the olfactory portrait and the notion of being sauvage

THE SAUVAGE MAN

DIOR’S SAUVAGE honours its name and stands as a bold testament to the untamed and the rugged. And who better to personify this essence than the enigmatic and charismatic Johnny Depp? Since 2015, Depp has been the living embodiment and the face of Dior Sauvage, a fragrance that’s as much an experience as it is a scent.

Depp’s association with Dior Sauvage goes beyond the conventional realms of celebrity endorsement. It’s a match forged in the wild heart of authenticity. The Pirates of the Caribbean star, with his storied career and multifaceted persona, resonates with the essence of the fragrance in a way that transcends the superficial.

At the crossroads of Depp’s versatile roles and Dior Sauvage’s identity lies a common thread – the quest for authenticity. From the enigmatic Captain Jack Sparrow to the brooding Edward Scissorhands, Depp has mastered the art of portraying characters who defy convention, much like the fragrance he represents. His rugged charm and uncanny ability to blur the lines between fantasy and reality also embody the spirit of Sauvage. Just as the fragrance transitions seamlessly from freshness to depth, Depp’s persona remains multifaceted, refusing to be confined to a single definition. He’s a sauvage person, ever-evolving, unpredictable and unapologetically himself.

In Depp, Sauvage finds its soul, and in Sauvage, Depp finds a fragrance that resonates with his essence.
