“My perfumes are sensual like the women of Hitchcock. I love Kim Novak. I can watch the same Kim Novak movie several times. And Grace Kelly too. There’s an extraordinary scene in Rear Window where she leans over James Stewart and kisses him. But if you watch it carefully – because it must be watched carefully – James Stewart isn’t there. She actually kisses the camera. You get the impression of being kissed yourself. That’s very powerful. All the men watching the movie are being kissed at the same time.
