By the editors · 2 min readDior ★ opens with a brisk chord of petitgrain and bergamot — citrus clipped short by the green, slightly metallic edge of jasmine in bloom. The top dissipates quickly into a heart of lily of the valley, peony, and narcissus: powdery florals assembled with mid-seventies confidence, more restrained than the baroque fragrances that would follow from the house in the eighties.
The base settles into almond and amber softened by musk, giving the drydown a warm, slightly confectionery character. It reads as a transitional piece — bridging the classical French floral tradition with the emerging taste for softer, skin-close finishes. Best on days that need gentleness.
