To bring Dior fragrances the finest ingredients, François Demachy travels the world in search of raw materials with rare qualities.
From 1947 onwards Christian Dior proclaimed his desire to be as much a perfumer as he was a couturier. He sketched the contours of a veritable style for Dior's perfumes, breathing into them all the modernity featured in his creations.
The bottle is a true art form at Dior. For some emblematic fragrances, the bottling is done by hand by the Dior Atelier Ladies. At the Dior manufacturer, they perpetuate a true artistic craftsmanship.
