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.

Having been with the brand since 2015, Depp has filmed many advertisements for the perfume. Last year, the actor filmed an advert where he was seen posing with his electric guitar. The official video of the advertisement has garnered more than 100-million views.
