Q and A with Supermodel Rianne at Davidoff The Game Shoot ♥

DAVIDOFF, THE GAME

Question and Answer with Rianne Ten Haken

• How do you like the brand Davidoff?

It is very masculine and at the same time, fosters elegance and sophistication.

• Why is fragrance important to you?

The first time you meet someone, the perfume they wear says a lot about them and their personality. Either you can be attracted to it or you’re not.

• Tell us about your experience with the shoot?

I’m so happy to be part of this advertising. The house where we are shooting is intriguing as it is an iconic place with a beautiful view in Los Angeles.

• How do you like working with Joshua Kloss?

Joshua represents the perfect Davidoff man because he is very confident, masculine and strong. Working together was a lot of fun, we have this chemistry that is effective on the screen.

• How was it working with Jonas Akerlund?

It was a great experience. The entire team is so professional and precise. Jonas is a very creative person; he gives very good directions of what he wants so it is really easy and fun working with him.
