I don’t have a signature scent as such

Posted by Robin on 26 May 2023 2 Comments

[Susan] Sarandon revealed to us that she, like Gemma Arterton, is a fan of fragrance that are considered more masculine. "I don't have a signature scent as such, but I prefer masculine scents like sandalwood – Eva from the Italian perfumer Santa Maria Novella is a favourite. I tend to adopt a new perfume when I take on a new role. For instance Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez was referred to in Twilight, a movie I did with Paul Newman, so I wore that when filming."

    This was a fun read, thank you. I’m impressed at the range of choices, many of which aren’t the predictable fun-of-the-mill things.
