French President Macron is under fire, and it isn’t for his politics. It’s because if you lit a match near him, he might just go up in flames thanks to the sheer amount of cologne he’s wearing. We’re not entirely sure if perfume is flammable, but we’re rolling with the metaphor: the man is apparently drenched in scent.
This fun little revelation comes courtesy of journalist Olivier Beaumont’s new book, The Tragedy of the Elysée. While the book likely has some serious political insights, the world has clung to one headline-worthy detail—President Macron wears what’s been described as “industrial amounts” of Dior Eau Sauvage. And not just in the morning. Apparently, the man is freshening up throughout the day, including at his desk.
We haven’t read the full book (because, well, we’re here for the perfume gossip), but this scent-centric moment has made it a global talking point.
