La Colle Noire was the name of Christian Dior’s house in Montauroux, in the hills above Grasse. He bought it for the rose fields, and this fragrance is the house in a bottle.
Why you will love this fragrance
It is the most personal fragrance in La Collection Privée. A rose without any of the powdery heaviness the flower usually brings — clean, luminous and completely unisex.
- Named after Christian Dior’s own house in Provence
- Built on the roses he grew in the hills above Grasse
- A luminous, clean rose rather than a powdery one
- Unisex by composition, worn by both men and women
- Soft musk and sandalwood in the base
- Part of La Collection Privée, the house’s private collection
- A quiet fragrance with unusual depth
The scent
Rose leads, but not the dense, jammy rose of most floral perfumery. This one is fresh and almost transparent, lifted by bergamot and given air.
Beneath it sits a base of soft musk and sandalwood that carries the flower without weighing it down. The result is a rose that men wear as readily as women.
Who it is for
Anyone who has been looking for a rose without the powder, and anyone drawn to La Collection Privée. Genuinely unisex — it suits anyone.
How to wear it
Two sprays on the neck. It is a quiet fragrance that stays close, so apply where it will be noticed rather than trying to project it.
