Since his role in the vampire saga Twilight, RobertPattinson is part of
Hollywood’s A-list of actors.Therefore it is hardly surprising that he
was chosen to bethe new face of Dior Homme. STYLE UP YOUR LIFE! met with
the trendy filmstar for an interview.
Smells often trigger memories of certain things.What do you associate with certain smells?
I
remember very clearly that my father always used towear „Brut de
Faberge“. Do you remember thatfragrance? He still owns it today and it
reminds me of my early time at school. It‘s anchored very deeply in
mymemory and to this day I remember exactly how it smells. When I started
getting interested in girls (at about age 12), I decided it was cool to
wear perfume. On a holiday in Portugal I watched some teenagers go into
bar. To convince them I was older, I put on some Eau de Cologne
(laughs).
Are there landscapes or towns you associate with certain smells?
My
father is from Yorkshire, where you get a lot of heather in the moors.
That smell is simply unbelievable.We used to go there at Christmas and
although I haven‘t been there for a long time, I still remember that
smell.
Do you have a favourite smell? It doesn’t necessarily have to be a perfume.
I
like the smell of people! (laughs) It is really strange and I‘m sure it
has to do with pheromones. We like people because subconsciously we like
the way they smell. I always find this very interesting to observe.
You are 27 years old. Do you wear perfume to feel comfortable or to seduce?
It
still feels like something very grown up. If you use perfume when going
out, you‘re going out for a very specific reason (smiles).
Which woman could wear Dior Homme in your opinion?
A
free thinker! A headstrong woman who refuses to smell „pretty“. She
never does exactly what you would expect of her. It certainly would be a
woman with a very specific image of femininity.
Do London (where you have lived), New York (where you shot the campaign) and Paris (home of Dior)have their own smell?
Apart
from my family I miss the smell of London after it rained the most. The
airports Heathrow and Gatwick are surrounded by fields. When you land
there you immediately smell wet grass and it really always rains when I
land there. New York is totally different. For me the town smells of
food, because it’s available at every corner. Strangely enough I never
associate France with food although it is a large part of the French
culture. It’s more of a visual thing, a certain feeling. Paris IS a
feeling. To describe Paris is a bit like describing Dior. It’s a very
different world. I really love strolling freely througha town in which
films are still respected as an artform.
