For the 51-year-old Hollywood A-lister, signing up with Dior is his first campaign for men's fragrance. In a 2014 article by Mirror, Depp was quoted expressing his disapproval of "endless commercials." On the other hand, the scent that Depp will promote is Dior's first fragrance for men in 10 years.

Through its official Instagram account, Dior made the announcement with a picture of the actor looking enigmatic and dashing with a swept-up hair and a few strands falling delicately on his face. Depp had earrings on each ear and two tribal-looking necklaces.

"The house of Dior is about to reveal a new territory for men with Johnny Depp as its iconic ambassador. Save the date, September 2nd," the caption red as quoted by Contact Music.

Fashion and beauty aficionados are already looking forward to how captivating the perfume will be. While details about the name or the inspiration to the scent are still under wraps, Dior has confirmed that master perfumer and in-house scent creator Francois Demarchy will be at the helm. His delicate genius for scents has led to the creation of signature fragrances, such as Dior Homme and Miss Dior. Demarchy grew up in the French town of Grasse, the famed world's capital of perfume.

The versatile actor joins the ranks of Hollywood elite tapped for the luxury brand's campaigns. According to Vogue, Jude Law posed for Dior Homme Sport and Dior Homme Intense, while Robert Pattinson graced the campaign for Dior Homme.
