Ambre Elixir Précieux

An essential fragrance in the world of perfumery, Miss Dior is still as idealized and celebrated as ever. Starting in 2014, the Dior brand launched a private collection along with the creation of precious elixirs. The precious elixirs are François Demachy's interpretation of layering, this ancestral gesture that comes to us from the Middle East, which consists of superimposing fragrances. Ambre Élixir Précieux is part of this collection of 4 fragrances.

Dior's Elixirs Précieux, a collection of luxury objects

Inspired by an old medieval tradition of superimposed perfumes, the precious elixirs are composed around a single note, namely oud, rose, amber and musk. Created by François Demachy, the official perfumer of the house of Dior, the precious elixirs combine perfumery with haute couture. Every ingredient in the precious elixirs was carefully chosen by François Demachy, one of the greatest perfumers of his generation. Built around amber, Ambre Élixir Précieux is presented in a sober and elegant bottle that highlights the amber color of the precious nectar.

Dior Ambre Elixir Précieux, the magic of the Orient on your wrist

Ambre Élixir Précieux is an oriental feminine fragrance that was released in 2014. It should be noted that ambergris comes from the biliary secretion of the sperm whale. When the sperm whale has overindulged in octopus and squid, it expels the concretion through natural means. Depending on the length of time this concretion spends in the salt water, the color and odor of the stone will vary. Indeed, one can distinguish multiple odors such as notes of seaweed, sea, ocean, fish, tobacco, but also incense, animalic notes or even sea urchin. In 1985, the International Whaling Commission officially decided to halt the hunting of whales and sperm whales. Since then, ambergris has been replaced by synthetic accords that perfectly replicate the very particular odor of amber. Its animalic, musky odor as well as the heavy and powerful notes that ambergris delivers make it a highly prized ingredient in oriental fragrances. Ambre Élixir Précieux is steeped in the precious history of amber's origins and reveals all its secrets here.

Ambre Élixir Précieux is one of the 4 fragrances in the private collection of precious elixirs. Created and chosen by François Demachy, each elixir pays tribute to a noble ingredient of perfumery. Here, ambergris takes us back to its very particular history and to the notes it releases. A rare and exceptional fragrance, Ambre Élixir Précieux is one of the most sophisticated essences.
