Dior has also shared Johnny Depp's statement about the new deal. According to Depp, the fragrance brings back some fond memories from his past when he would perform at stage shows. He noted:

"Sauvage brings me a lot of memories, a lot of shows. Things that you smelled growing up that if I smell it, it takes me right back and I see the person that used to wear it. It’s a sense memory, so a smell can make you travel.”

According to TMZ, the deal was put together recently when Dior's renowned fashion photographer Greg Williams attended Johnny and Jeff Beck's concert in Paris to show his support for the Fantastic Beasts actor. TMZ also reported that Greg has completed a photoshoot with Depp in the Paris show, which will eventually be used for Sauvage's campaign.

During Depp's trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, the perfume brand received appreciation from Depp supporters with the cologne being sold every three seconds. Johnny Depp fans noted that purchasing the perfume during the trial period was a way of showing their support.

Whoever in Dior decided to continue the Johnny Depp-Sauvage partnership regardless of the events had some serious guts and belief in Johnny. Powerful decision and now Sauvage sales are going up to show support.
