When you look at Robert Pattinson’s portfolio, you realize that he has donned many masks over the years. From playing Edward Cullen inThe TwilightSaga to taking on the role of Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’The Batman,he has had many faces.
In addition to his commitment to numerous franchises, there is one commitment that he has been honoring for years now – being the face of the Dior Homme fragrance for the past 13 years. That doesn’t mean he is an expert when it comes to scents. Though he has mastered manipulating his sense of smell, courtesy of his role in one Oscar-nominated flick.
How Robert Pattinson brings scents to life
Robert Pattinson‘s involvement with the Dior Homme fragrance entails many things – one of them being that he needs to engage the media whenever a new fragrance hits the shelf. The release of the new Dior Homme Parfum was no different.
In a conversation withEsquire,Pattinson had a chance to share some of his anecdotes with the world at large. Sitting alongside Francis Kurkdjian, the man behind some of the most elegant perfumes in the world, Pattinson opened up about his experience with Dior over the years. And scents.

It isn’t an easy role to pull off after all, bringing to life a character who is influenced by the innumerable nuances of a scent. He said,
I mean, I’m absolutely atrocious. I’ve realised over the last few hours how bad I am about talking about scent at all. I do have the ability to turn my sense of smell on and off, though – which I find quite a useful skill.
Taking some time to appreciate the wonderful work put in by the perfumer, he said,
It’s interesting to see how Francis approaches his work. The scent was developed a long time before any of the campaign came around. So, yeah, I guess it’s all just really a response to Francis’s work.
While the 55-year-old has definitely had a bearing on how theTenetstar perceives scents,The Lighthousehas also played its role.

The film marked a monumental turn in his life for many reasons, including teaching him how to turn his sense of smell off. He said,
That movie (The Lighthouse) was so awful smelling that it [the smells] really broke through. There were so many scenes [that smelt appalling]. Because we had to get the seagulls to circle the set all the time. So, there was buckets of rotting fish everywhere, all over the entire set. Just so there’d be hundreds of seagulls. And that is quite a wake-up call. It’s like “G’ah! Oh, now I am at work”. I have a lot of respect for fisherman (after that).

Now we all know what working on a lousy-smelling set can do to you. Elaborating on the repercussions of inculcating an ability to turn your sense of smell off,The Kingstar said,
I just noticed it in the last job I was doing. Because for some reason people kept apologising for how they smelled. And I just realised that I couldn’t smell anything at all.
It seems like someone has been scarred for life.
