Fragrance News for "True Blood" Fans

If you're getting anxious for the season premiere of "True Blood" on HBO this Sunday, here's a morsel of Alexander Skarsgard news to help hold you over: It was just announced that the actor (who plays Eric Northman) will be the face of Encounter, a fragrance by Calvin Klein. While the new scent doesn't come out until September, we got a preview of the steamy ad campaign, which features model Lara Stone (a Calvin Klein mainstay).

Skarsgard and Stone also star in a yet-to-be-released short film about the fragrance. While we doubt he'll be wearing his fangs, we hear that the film plays on the theme of unresolved tension between a man and a woman and that it was shot in film noir style. So it should still make "True Blood" fans very happy.

"Alexander Skarsgard perfectly reflects the Encounter Calvin Klein attitude -- modern, stylish and unapologetically masculine," said Catherine Walsh, Senior Vice President of American Fragrances at Coty Prestige. We couldn't agree more.
