French beauty Audrey Tautou has replaced Kidman in the lucrative perfume deal

Meanwhile things are smelling rosy for 29-year-old Tautou who will be reunited with Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet calling the shots for the advertisment campaign.

The dumping of Kidman is the latest blow to hit the Australian's career since her latest films, including Stepford Wives and Bewitched, have been major box office disappointments.

Movie sources have apparently begun to question Kidman's 10million movie price tag following the movie roles.
