Fragances often trigger memories. Do you have memories related to scents?
I remember my dad wearing Brut de Farbegé. He still has it, and it reminds me of my early school days. So strange it is so ingrained in me; I can still imagine exactly what it smelled like. Later when I was 12 and started talking to girls, I thought wearing perfume was the cool thing to do. I remember being on holiday in Portugal and watching teenagers going into bars. As I believed that splashing cologne would convince everyone I was an adult, I sure did: that and hair gel were my best friends that summer.
Are there landscapes or cities you associate with certain scents?
My dad comes from Yorkshire where the moors have miles of heather, and the smell of it is just incredible.
Do you have a favorite scent?
I like the smell of people! It is really odd and a total pherormone thing, but you can often tell someone’s nature by their smell. We hang out with people because they smell good to us on an unconscious level.
Now that you’re 27, is wearing fragance more feel-good gesture or a seduction move?
It still seems like a very adult thing to do. And if you go out with some fragance on, you are going out for a reason…
What woman could be wearing Dior Homme, in your eyes?
A free spirit. A woman of her own mind, refusing to smell “pretty” or do what’s expected of her. And clearly a woman who is not confused about her idea of femininity.
How sweet is the smell of success?
Being an actor is a weird thing and one’s idea of success, strangely enough, changes over the years. But there is the “sweet” side of success: I don’t have to worry and work just for money, for a few years at least. I have an enourmous amount of respect for films, so I’m trying to use whatever time, energy and influence I have to make interesting choices that no one else is making. I just said I was “trying” but it’s funny you know: I do not really feel like I have been successful yet. There is something about Dior that is very close to my present state of mind: it is almost aggessively independent, and that is what I’m trying to do with everything at that stage of my life.
You never seem to relax, but when you do, what’s your favorite…
Spot to relax? In the English countryside.
Piece of literature? Anything by Martin Amis.
Piece of music, musician or band? Probably Van Morrison.
Moment of the day? That changes depending on what I did the day before.
Pastime? I do not really have any. But it’s probably something to do with music.
Animal to be around? My two dogs.
Word to hear? Yes.

With a little help from Google Translate, seems like this interview is a compilation of other Dior promo interviews we’ve read so far, but with a few new questions. There are 3 new questions.

New Quotes:
About shooting the scene on the beach:
“The whole bumper fell off; it was wild (laughing)!”
About linking memories with certain smells:
“I remember my dad wearing Brut de Fabergé. He still has it, and it reminds me of my early school days.”
About linking cities or countries with certain smells:
“My dad is from Yorkshire. There are moors/swamps and heather everywhere – the smell is incredible. We used to spend Christmas there, and although I haven’t been there for years, this smell stayed with me somehow.”
About his favorite smell:
“I like the smell of people (laughing).” (Then he talks about discovering perfume when he was 12 years old.)
About his perfect day:
“I can’t tell exactly, I like to occupy myself with things. At the moment, I’m working on a story with a friend. I like to talk to people and work on projects with them. And I like to argue with people every now and then (laughing).”
He talks about Death Grips being his favorite band right now.
He talks about his clothing style (we heard about that before in other interviews; nothing new there).
Last question: Twilight made you famous, Cosmopolis changed your Image and Romain Gavras’ campagne film for Dior gives your charakter something unexpected. How sweet ist the smell of success?
“Being an actor is weird and the definition of success (…) changes over the years. Of course there is a sweet side to success: I don’t have to worry or to work only for money, at least for the next few years. I have a huge respect of all these movies, that’s why I try to take the time and energy to make these exciting decisions not everyone makes. (…) But I don’t feel I’ve already been that successful. There’s something about Dior that suits me: The brand is staying persistently independent and that’s what I want for myself right now.”

Here’s a preview of Robert Pattinson’s interview in the French magazine Sport & Style
Robert Pattinson ‘I wanted to be a musician’
Fond of boxing, British Rob Pattinson is inspired by the noble art’s codes of honor and Arsenal’s elegance to manage his career. Meeting in Los Angeles with the new face of Dior Homme fragrance.”
Sprawled on the sofa of the suite 111 at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Hollywood, eyes unfocused, Rob Pattinson is obviously tired. The blame to a party that lasted late the night before. However, he welcomes his guests with respect and sincerity leaping suddenly to his feet. Backwards Baseball cap, black shirt, jeans and sneakers, Diet Coke in hand, Robert Thomas Pattinson has very little todo with Edward Cullen, his avatar of the Twilight film series. At 27, Rob is more than just an English actor who conqueredHollywood, or even any international star of TV series. This discreet Londoner, cultured and elegant became a global icon adored by millions of fans. A comfortable but temporary status – and above all extremely cumbersome – that the actor is changing slowlyand very cleverly: against type casting roles (‘Maupassant’ by Bel Ami, ‘The Rover’ by David Michôd) adoption of a Cinema “father”in the person of David Cronenberg (‘Cosmopolis’ in 2012 and a new movie in preparation) and a sensational entrance in the fashion world this fall by becoming the new face of Dior Homme fragrance. Lots of consistent evidence which tell us at Sport & Style, that we should not miss Rob Pattinson. Here he is sitting again and it’s our turn to play vampires to elicit informations
When did you start to be interested by comedy and realise the expressive potential it represents?
“I started late in a drama club because I was a very shy child. It was a revelation: it was the first time I confront myself to my fears and the adrenaline rush was intense. Then, there was the first time I had the feeling to “build” something. It was for ‘Little Ashes’ in 2008, a weird film where I played Salvador Dalí. I really wanted to give credibility to this character and therefore to my performance.”
“You’ve also been a musician?
At the be beginning, I wanted to be a musician. It was still the case until Twilight. At that time, I was touring with a band in pubs around London. We were playing folk-pop but I’ve always prefered soul music more – Otis Redding, Van Morrison – than folk music.”
“What is elegance for you as an actor?
It is surely a balance between magnetism, aura, behavior, gestures, look. But elegance is also being able to listen and to speak.”
“What about style?
This is a way of expressing yourself, or rather a means of expression. Style is often viewed as a kind of cosmetic, a way of hiding yourself in a suit. On the contrary, i think that true style is first to have a good knowledge of who you are and also be very honest with yourself.”
“Is it difficult to find good scenarios when you are a superstar?
Yes, because it’s difficult to know how the audience see you. Today, people know a lot of things about the actors outside of their profession. The choice of scenario is made by the intrinsic interest of the script, but also on what is almost a personal manifesto: choosing this character, it’s me too!”
“Why did you choose ‘The Rover’ by David Michod which will be released soon?To go in the opposite direction of your public image?
Probably a little, it’s part of the equation. I really wanted it, I auditioned twice! The script was wonderful, i worked hard. The story is fantastic, very original, told in a very innovative way. It was something that seemed very different from everything else and I wanted to be part of it.”
