WHAT SMELLS OF HOLLYWOOD'S HOTTEST VAMPIRE?
by THOMAS HELBING 12th October 2012
When Alexander Skarsgard unpacks, can wrap up Harry Potter! For his role in the vampire series "True Blood," Skarsgard is considered a sex symbol, five times he was voted "Sexiest Man" is selected from Sweden. Now Calvin Klein has nabbed the 36-year-old actor as a model for the new men's fragrance "Encounter". STYLEBOOK met the pretty Scandinavia and exports to the interview.
STYLEBOOK: Alexander Skarsgard as perfume model - how does that feel?
Alexander Skarsgard: Excellent! This is my first campaign ever. Calvin Klein has never advertised a men's fragrance with an actor. I'm pretty proud that I can be the first.

What did you think when you have seen for the first time in the spotlight and on the campaign photos?
That all have done a great job. I like the dark, mystical mood of the clip that reminds me of the German expressionist films like Fritz Lang. However, even seen in Godzilla-size on a billboard - which is very strange.
The spot tells the story of a chance encounter between man and woman. Who in the end who seduces remains open. Therefore: Mr. Skarsgard, you are privately a Lady Killer?
No, I'm Swedish. Sweden and we are not the macho men, but for equal rights.
How was it working with Lara Stone, who plays also in the spot?
Lara is a cool girl and incredibly funny. We faced two years earlier for "Vogue" in front of the lens of Peter Lindberg, incidentally, a great photographer.
Please, very honest answer. Part of what you will find very sexy Lara: her lips, her tooth gap or her breasts?
your character!
Beauty is not important for the acting?
I think vanity is more of an obstacle to be good as an actor. Imagine that you need to play an old character or fat, then you have a complacent person quite a problem.
Eric Northman would carry your character from "True Blood", "Encounter"?
I think that is more of a drop of blood behind his ear. That's more his thing.
And Alexander Skarsgard?
I like the alluring, dark, woody odor. I am not one for fresh, citrusy fragrances, therefore matches the very good to me. But in general, I rarely use perfume. The smell of a man turns me on more.
Yet memories of when you first used perfume?
however. I was 14 and wanted to smell for a school dance very well. A friend brought me different scents. I mixed it all and I sprayed from top to bottom. Thought that would be cool. It was not the way. Then I sat the rest of the evening alone and sad in a corner. A life lesson: Less is more!
What is your favorite smell?
My schnitzel last night smelled pretty damn cool!
And what scent you do not like?
I grew up in Stockholm, not far from a sausage factory. Unfortunately that does not smell of freshly grilled bratwurst, but pretty disgusting and putrid.
Pretty much meat in your life! Therefore equal to the transition: your answer if Calvin Klein would ask you to pose for the famous underwear
Let's see!
Would you have a problem, for the camera to be almost naked?
I'll do it constantly in movies and TV shows. So, no!
Dear Calvin Klein, we hope they read this!
... but someone keeps this white / blue handbag right next to him ...
We all luv that hip pop 
At least he didn't appear to be being hassled. I wonder if his Mum still tells him, 'it's ok, I know exactly where you are' ? 
Of course that has changed ever since I was to Stockholm for the first time.
