“The name means one hundred petals in Latin.
I spoke with Portman about blissful memories, happy-making yellow dresses, and her favorite scents.
On visiting the Dior rose fields in Grasse:“It was hundreds of roses.
I’m not so eloquent with this right now (laughs).
I’m like, the ‘field of rose’ was hundreds of roses.
You don’t have to lean over and smell it.
You just stand there when it’s blooming and this delicate fragrance surrounds you.”
On her favorite non- perfume smell:“Definitely orange blossoms.
We have so many in California.
When they’re blossoming, it’s just incredible.
It’s such a scent of home for me.”
If she were to be reincarnated as a beauty product it would be…“Maybeeye cream.
I feel like that’s the top thing that helps a tired mom.
So that’s what I would do, come back and servethe mothers of the world.”
On the best-smelling place she’s visited:“Tunisia.
On the power of color:“I’ve been wearing a lot ofyellow.
It’s really surprising how much it affects you, to just dress a little more joyfully.
There’s been so much heaviness in the world so much suffering, so much anxiety.
I think that finding joy and beauty wherever you’re free to is helpful.
I want to wear what makes me happy.”
If Miss Dior were a color, it would be…“I think lavender.
It’s got this very kind of delicate, sophisticated, floral scent.
To me, thats lavender.”
On the most colorful place in the world:“Probably India, in Rajasthan.
The city [of Jodhpur] is quite bluethe buildings, landscape.
You look out, and everything is these different shades of blue.”
I have about a five-minute attention span for doing my own hair and makeup.Lipstickis the best.
Like, you have style, but it takes five seconds.”
On her favorite beauty icon of fiction:“Anna Karenina.
They describe her with these dark lips and dark hair and very kind of lush dresses.
But in terms of her look, it sounds really beautiful.”
