Inevitably, when a celebrity is associated with a brand, the conversation will turn to how that celebrity is represented by the brand. Most people are aware of perfume’s power to evoke memories and feelings. However, fewer people know that perfumes can also influence human behaviour. When you put a perfume on, you alter your body language, your voice, and even the way you smell. This is especially intriguing when you consider the large number of fragrances offered by luxury brands such as Dior. It would seem that a perfume could embody many different identities, allowing you to be anyone you want to be.
Dior Parfum: A Brief History
Dior Parfum was created in 2010 by Olivier Polge as a modern interpretation of the famous “Dior scent”. The fragrance was inspired by the Hollywood actress, singer, and dancer, Leslie Caron. You may know her from her role as Catherine Barletta in the movie, Titanic. Parfum was officially presented to the public in March 2011 and was an instant success. In 2012, Dior Parfum was listed among the Top 100 Best-Selling Perfumes in the World.
Leslie Caron: The Role Of The Iconic Actress
Leslie Caron is arguably one of the most famous women in the world and is certainly one of the most influential. Born in 1919 in London, England, she began her acting career in the 1950s. Her breakthrough role was as “Catherine Barletta” in the movie, Titanic. She went on to appear in other classics such as: Vertigo, Psycho, and North By Northwest. Additionally, Caron was featured in the Oscar-winning A Woman of Four Seasons. The role won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a film.
Robert Pattinson: The Role Of The Romantic English Actor
If you’re not familiar, Robert Pattinson is an English actor who rose to prominence in the 2010’s with films such as Remember Me and The Rover. He also starred in the Twilight Saga, playing the role of vampire Edward Cullen. In addition to acting, Pattinson is a singer and songwriter whose songs can be found on his debut album, Burnt Orange. He has also been featured on the albums of Ed Sheeran and Plan B.
Dior Fragrance: A Modern Interpretation Of The Classic Scent
Dior Fragrance is meant to evoke memories of Caron. However, it is not an exact replica. In fact, Polge created a modern interpretation of the classic scent by incorporating modern styling elements into the original formula. The fragrance is available in both women’s and men’s colognes and is named after actor and filmmaker, Jean-Luc Godard. According to the Godard family, the scent is meant to be a modern interpretation of the designer’s signature scent, Diorsignature.
Why Does Dior Fragrance Scent Stay In Your Hair?
What is even more intriguing about Dior Fragrance is that it stays in your hair for a considerable amount of time. Most perfumes are designed to be light and evanescent. When you put them on, they immediately leave your scent upon contact with the air. However, Dior Fragrance is said to be one of the few perfumes that can leave a lasting impression on the person who wears it, even after many washes. It is also the only fragrance to remain prominent even after a couple of hours of wearing it. This is likely due to the fact that it is a very expensive perfume and it is very easy for people to overuse it. Another interesting fact about Dior Fragrance is that it is the only fragrance which, when sprayed on fabric, leaves a stain similar to that of a tattoo. This phenomenon is known as ‘bleed through’ and, while very rare, it is a testament to the beauty of the fragrance. So, if you’re looking for a permanent mark on your clothes and skin, then Dior Fragrance is the fragrance for you.
