“Make me a fragrance that smells like love.” That was the brief in 1947, and Miss Dior was born alongside the New Look collection that changed how women dressed. It is still the house’s first and defining fragrance.
Why you will love this fragrance
The rose is the real thing. Centifolia absolute, grown on the same Grasse estates Christian Dior and his sister Catherine once farmed, now spread across eleven Dior-exclusive gardens. Velvety, honeyed, faintly peppery.
- The first fragrance ever created by the House of Dior
- Centifolia rose absolute from Dior’s 11 exclusive Grasse gardens
- The same roses Christian Dior and his sister Catherine grew
- Honeyed sweetness woven with creamy vanilla
- Almond-scented tonka bean and milky sandalwood
- A sensual vanilla chypre rather than a simple floral
- Presented in the couture bottle with its signature bow
The scent
Centifolia rose — the Rose de Mai — is velvety, silky and full-bodied, with honeyed and delicately peppery accents. Its absolute comes from Dior’s own gardens in the south of France.
Around it, Dior builds a deliciously gourmand floral: the honeyed sweetness of the Grasse rose absolute interwoven with creamy vanilla, almond-scented tonka bean and milky sandalwood. The result is a sensual vanilla chypre.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants a signature rather than a trend. It suits every age, works for day and night, and is one of the safest fragrance gifts in existence.
How to wear it
Two sprays on the neck and the inside of the elbows. It blooms on warm skin, so apply after a shower rather than over clothing.
