Dior Becomes “Leader in Perfume Sales” Despite Getting Flak for Helping Johnny Depp When He Was Branded an Abuser by Amber Heard Fans

Johnny Depp made a lot of headlines with his infamous defamation trial against Amber Heard last year. The trial ended largely in favor of the Minamata actor and he has been regaining his Hollywood popularity since then. However, before the trial and even when the trial was going on, Depp faced a lot of professional difficulties. He lost a lot of his movies, and his public image suffered a lot during the period. But, still, one brand never ditched their faith in him and even extended his contract during the difficult times.

Depp has been the face of Dior Sauvage perfume and they did not sever their ties with him even when everyone else did. According to recent sources, Dior saw major growth in sales largely due to Johnny Depp’s involvement with the brand.

Dior’s Sauvage perfume was the leader in perfume sales last year largely because of Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp became the face of Dior’s Sauvage perfume when it first came out in 2015. The perfume has always done well for the company since its launch until the whole Amber Heard drama blew up. Dior did face some pressure from the public to break their deal with Depp but they still decided to keep him as the face of the product. That worked out greatly in favor of the company when the defamation trial came to an end last year in June.
