The Rodin Museum in Paris has always seemed to me as a place in which sadness and beauty lived together in the most profound of the silences. Perhaps because of this, it’s one of the most frequented buildings by Parisians, who go there to reflect and to take lonely strolls.
In its four floors, some of the most emblematic works of the artist intermingle with others signed by his lover, Camille Claudel, who committed suicide for being rejected by the sculptor.
All of it, united with the beauty of the gardens that surround it, encouraged the Lancôme’s executives to elect this museum as structure for the presentation of the new campaign of the Trésor fragrance and its new image, the English actress Kate Winslet, who substitutes Inés Sastre. The Spanish model and actress will endure being spokeswoman of some make-up products and of treatment of the French brand, but it will be Winslet who’s going to put her voice and face into one of the world’s most sold fragrances of the brand.

Kate Winslet insists she was chosen as the spokesperson for cosmetic giant Lancôme because of her reputation as a “real woman”.
The Titanic star was named as the face of the Trésor fragrance in Paris on Monday (11Jun07), taking over from fellow actress Isabella Rossellini, who previously held the role.
And Winslet admits she only agreed to represent the brand because Lancôme didn’t just want her for her good looks.
She says, “I didn’t feel that I was just being asked to be the face of something.
“It was me as a person (and my message to women) about being real in who you are and comfortable in your skin.”
Previous star faces for Lancôme include Uma Thurman and movie hunk Clive Owen.
