Oh, Johnny Depp, you beautiful, beautiful creature, you. The Oscar nominee and beloved eccentric, 52, stars in Dior’s Sauvage fragrance campaign, dropped on Tuesday, Sept. 1, and it’s every bit as over-the-top and Depp catalog-inspired as you’d hoped.

The 80-second clip ends with the actor, who will soon be reprising the Sparrow role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, burying his treasure (i.e. the necklace and bangles from his own body) and proclaiming, “I can feel it—it’s magic.”
