DIOR TAKES A DIP FOR J’ADORE ABSOLU
Although this is over a month old, it’s too big to ignore for Fragrance News Snippets. I’m talking about Dior’s mega-production directed by Romain Gavras for J’Adore Absolu EDP, after weeks of social media, um, teasers. This commercial, apologies, film, features Charlize Theron in a will-she-won’t-she-expose-her-breasts shoot in an indulgent Turkish bath-style setting. I haven’t tried the fragrance yet. But I’m not complaining about watching the actress in beyond-gorgeous mode. Have you seen it yet? What do you think of it? Here’s the link in case you haven’t seen it: here.
