The great Christian Dior was known for adding the perfect finishing touch to his stunning creations with an equally captivating fragrance. The journey he started is now continued by François Demachy, The Dior Perfume Creator, and has until now brought to light many fragrances that became icons in the olfactory world – which makes them worth discovering.

From Miss Dior to Diorama, Eau Fraîche, Poison, Eau Sauvage, J’adore and Dior Homme, Chandler Burr – the American author and former New York Times perfume critic who is now the curator of the Department of Olfactory Art at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City – explores and narrates the composition of each fragrance. Through his unusual approach, he sets each fragrance in the context of its era and describes it as a work of art in its own right.

This book will give you the opportunity to get up-close and personal with Dior’s most coveted perfumes.
