Dior names new fragrance face

French actress Mélanie Laurent has been named the new face of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. 

The new muse at Christian Dior parfums, Mélanie is best known for her role in Inglorious Basterds.

"We [Dior and I] seduced each other for months, and it was my agent who called me to say that we were going to sign the contract,” Mélanie told American Elle magazine.

"I remember I said to myself - gasp - think about who the other faces of Dior fragrances were! Jude Law, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman - and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I'm going to be one of them'."

Hypnotic Poison has base notes of jacaranda wood, sandalwood and vanilla with top notes of pimento, almond, coconut, apricot and plum.
