Ready?
Ready.
All right.
I fucked up.
Ah, I'm not sure.
Action.
Bonjour.
Beautiful.
Beautiful coffee.
Beautiful view.
This is just Paris.
Just… Paris.
Today I am meeting with François, who is, as they say, the nose for Dior
and we're going to be discussing the new Dior Homme fragrance.
It's the best job on the market to come to Paris in Fashion Week.
I can have a delicious dinner and meet some interesting people.
I mean, it's not exactly a job, I should be paying to do this.
Cut that bit out.
Very excited to be talking to you about the new formulation of the fragrance.
It's interesting to see, to look at a culture changing, and people changing,
and then try to imagine what scent they would like.
I mean, it's quite an unusual skill to have.
I mean, literally… I would not know what smell anybody would like at any point.
Something quite close is food.
Right now you don't eat - I'm sure - exactly the same things, that you used to eat,
let's say, 10 years ago.
You still like it, but now you try something else.
For the perfume, it's exactly the same thing.
Here are the top notes that we used.
You see the top note: orange and lemon, also cedar wood.
It's funny, it's a very subtle scent, but it's very familiar.
A lot of pencils…
Yeah.
…that we use are made with cedar wood.
And so the smell - it's a school smell.
Yeah.
Taken in this context, it does smell really delicious.
When I was a kid, I did use to eat my pencils all the time, so I maybe I'm that kind of guy.
It's delicious.
If the world likes, say, bergamot
and then you have an ex-girlfriend who used to wear bergamot all the time,
then you personally hate it and you're like "there's no more bergamot
or any of these things!"
You have to live your life carefully as to avoid hazardous scents.
Voilà.
Merci.
It is very delicious.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Nice to see you again.
You are welcome.
I'll go to the show and see you at supper.
Sure, with pleasure.
Nice to see you.
Thank you.
I'm very excited.
I've seen the pictures of the clothes.
I know it's going to be very cool.
So I'm excited, yeah.
How do you deal with those crowds?
I'll pass that on to the superstar.
I think there were more screams 'cause Cara came in before me
so she got them all riled up.
Okay. Great.
Then they were too exhausted to scream.
After this show, there is a dinner at Caviar Kaspia to launch
the new fragrance which comes out tonight.
I really really like Kim Jones,
he's a fun guy, he lives around the corner from me in London.
He's very very fun.
I'm very upset I have to be working the day after the show,
because his parties go on very late after the show and I'm not allowed to go,
because I have to work the next day.
I'm allowed to do that.
You're definitely going to be in it.
Wait, you are in it. You're in it.
No.
I'm just saying it.
No, no, no.
How do you feel about Vogue filming you for the whole day?
It's very exciting.
Yeah, it was very fun.
I probably really embarrassed myself, but it's nothing out of the ordinary.
Enjoy your night.
Nice to meet you.
Bye.
