Natalie Portman - In 1947, Christian Dior said that he wanted a "fragrance that smells like love" and conceived Miss Dior as the brand's manifesto for youth and sophistication. Today the prolific fashion house sets out to encapsulate that same French joie de vivre in its latest scent, Miss Dior Cherie, with [Natalie Portman].... "It was an honor to be approached by a brand that has not only an incredible history but also values I can really stand behind," says the actress.... "I want to great lengths to ensure the company is run ethically and that there isn't any animal testing or forest depletion." It was important for Natalie to represent a scent she actually like. "I respond to the jasmine in the fragrance. When I was filming the Star Wars movies in Tunisia, children would be selling jasmine in the market - it's the most beautiful, sultry smell," Natalie explains. "Perfume makes you feel more feminine and glamorous." ...Natalie's glammed-up, Parisian alter ego dazzles in the Miss Dior Cherie ad inspired by the sexy French nouvelle vague films of the early 1960s and directed by Sofia Coppola. "A French woman will take as her greatest attributes things that other women consider flaws and own them in a way that makes her confident," Natalie says. "Her sexiness is that she is every bit herself."

Natalie Portman - Leave it to a Harvard grad to endorse a perfume for intellectual reasons: "I like the idea behind it -- it's playful, chic, Parisian," says Natalie Portman of Miss Dior Cherie, a fresh, bright scent that blends green tangerine, pink jasmine, and a touch of patchouli. The actress's latest role is in the fragrance's as campaign. When do you wear perfume? "On special occasions. If it's a big night out with someone I love. It's like putting on nice jewelry. I think it makes every woman feel more feminine." Hit List - How Portman intensifies her low-key look for the red carpet: Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Parfum.

Scents & Sensibilities - Just like high-school cliques, perfumes can have the reputation of being naughty or nice. Sheer florals are for good girls, while potent spices have racier associations. Yann Vasnier, a perfumers at Quest International, helps us understand the new fragrance double standard. NICE: Miss Dior Cherie Pure smells like caramelized popcorn and strawberry leaves, topped with green tangerine.
