Introducing Johnny Depp's ad campaign for Dior's newest fragrance, Sauvage.

From WWD:

DESERT STORM: “I gotta get out of here. Which way? I don’t know,” Johnny Depp growls in the video teaser for his first fragrance ad, all artsy shots of skyscrapers at night. “Dior,” he adds.

Press materials released Wednesday indicate Depp will front Sauvage, a new version of the classic Eau Sauvage, due out Sept. 2 and backed by a film by Jean-Baptiste Mondino that sees Depp roar out of Los Angeles in a vintage Dodge Challenger to Joshua Tree, Calif. The clip is to feature an original rock ‘n’ roll track by slide guitar specialist Ry Cooder.

Dior said perfumer François Demachy revisited the original fragrance, created in 1966, and sought to make it more contemporary, strong and unmistakably masculine.

Depp — who has starred in films such as John Waters’ “Cry-Baby,” Tim Burton’s “Edward Scissorhands” and Jerry Bruckheimer’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” — has historically kept fashion at an arm’s length, instead sporting wide-ranging, quirky sartorial looks often paired with eccentric glasses and topped with a hat.

Stills from the Sauvage film show Depp in a dark blue shirt with a black vest and pants, accessorized with assorted rings, bracelets and necklaces.

Dior’s other beauty ambassadors include Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and Eva Herzigova.

The fashion house also teased an image from the print campaign on its Diormag Web site.

From DiorMag:

The name of the new Dior men’s fragrance? Sauvage. Simply. A highly evocative name that resonates with the House’s heritage, but also a raw, wild word to herald a unique fragrance. Discover a first snapshot from the campaign today, starring actor Johnny Depp, unmistakable with his singularly authentic allure, tattooed arms and rock jewelry-covered hands, against a wide-open background.

It looks pretty good. I was wondering how they were going to make him look ultra young and polished like in the Dior Homme fragrance ads, but instead he actually matches the "rawness" of the campaign nicely.

I've smelt a prototype, it's very much Dior's version if bleu de Chanel... But I definitely enjoy it more (while disliking Bleu). It also reminds me of the Dior Homme Eau for Men, with freshness and coriander notes.... I think it is Dior's most commercial men's fragrance in a while!

Here's another pic of my Dior VIII and LV Clous ring with diamond. I took this picture a while ago.

I LOVE my Dior VIII. I love it so much that my other watches are not getting worn now, unfortunately. It's been over 6 months since I bought it and I'm still madly in love with it.

Thanks for the intel! I can't wait to smell it! I'm not a big fan of Bleu de Chanel. To me, nothing stands out about it. Fahrenheit is my favourite men's fragrance from Dior, and that one's hard to beat. I also love Dune Pour Homme (discontinued now, I think). I also really liked Higher Dior when it first came out, but I don't like it as much anymore (also discontinued). Hopefully Sauvage can be added to my list of favourite Dior men's fragrances.

Which men's fragrance do you like the most from Dior?

I'm not crazy about Fahrenheit but I can appreciate it. I don't remember Higher (although I do remember Higher Energy) but I feel like I did like it. Sadly I didn't get a chance to smell Dune pour Homme before it was discontinued...

My favourite for men fragrance is the original Dior Homme; I have a bottle from the original formulation and there isn't anything quite like it. The cologne version (the reissue that launched last year) has been on heavy rotation this summer to soften and freshen other fragrances I've been wear. I also love Ambre Nuit from La Collection Privee as well.

I have a bottle of the original Dior Homme still. The iris is really strong in it, and I like it more than the reformulated one, but it doesn't wear as well on my skin. I don't like how it smells on me, so I haven't used it much. I don't have any of the Dior Homme flankers.

I tried a bunch of the La Collection Privee fragrances and nothing really appealed to me. I was so excited to try Feve Delicieuse and it was a disappointment. It smelled like a lot of other Francoise Demachy fragrances. I'm not a fan of a lot of his fragrances. He relies too heavily on amber and orange blossom in my opinion. I really disliked Fahrenheit Parfum, which I thought I would like given that I really like Fahrenheit.

It's the 38mm version, and it's my favourite watch in the world. I still can't stop looking at it when I wear it. The pyramids make any kind of light dance on it. Very magical. Pictures can't capture that.

I too have been debating between this and the Chanel. But I think this is definitely the winner. Asides from the fact everyone has a J12, the Dior is much more special!

I agree.

Shortly after getting my watch, I went to see the Rado and Chanel watches that I was deciding between for my ceramic watch. Seeing my new Dior VIII on my wrist in comparison, I knew with 100% certainty that I made the right decision. The Rado and Chanel watches just seemed to be regular watches made in ceramic instead of stainless steel. The Dior VIII took the ceramic to a new level by maximizing it's sparkly nature, and making it into a classy everyday piece as opposed to a sporty everyday piece.

Here is the commerical for the new fragrance Sauvage featuring Johnny Depp:



I smelled Sauvage for the first time yesterday and it smells good. The dry-down smells a bit like Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme.

Try this cocktail: a couple of spritz of Sauvage with a liberal application of the Dior Homme Cologne (2014, the white one) on top!
