More about Amouage Dia 40
A vibrant and sophisticated homage to vintage aldehydic florals, Dia 40 is an Exceptional Extrait with 40% perfume oil concentration celebrating Amouage's 40th anniversary. Created by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, this Floral Aldehyde masterpiece maintains the distinctive elegance of the original 2002 Dia Woman while making its base more profound. It opens with the sparkling interplay of cyclamen, aldehydes, and violet leaves brightened by blackcurrant. The heart unfolds a grand floral quartet of rose, orange blossom, carnation, and ylang-ylang, enriched by cistus, bay leaves, and tarragon. The finale radiates with orris, sandalwood, amyris, and guaiac wood in a luminous, powdery aura. A fragrance of grace and nobility that elegantly balances its many layers in three acts: sunrise, zenith, and sunset.
