More about Dior Dioressence Dioriginals
Dioressence Dioriginals is Francis Kurkdjian's restoration of Dioressence, first launched in 1969 as Dior's "barbaric perfume" and the house's first amber fragrance. Part of The Dioriginals, Dior's 2026 collection of thirteen archive perfumes brought back as Eaux de Toilette in the 1948 Oval bottle, it restores the spirit, character and depth of the 1969 original with a clearer, fresher touch. Bright orange opens onto a floral heart of rose, jasmine and geranium, sinking into a sensual base of oakmoss, patchouli and benzoin. A balance of Dior's floral elegance and animalic magnetism that evokes a world of voluptuous sensuality.
