Dia 40 Woman is an extrait de parfum by Amouage, composed by Alexandra Carlin and launched in 2023 for the house’s fortieth anniversary. It revisits Dia Woman, the aldehydic floral of 2002: aldehydes and musk open onto a bouquet of rose, orange blossom, carnation and ylang-ylang, set on iris, sandalwood and amyris.
Alexandra Carlin opens Dia 40 Woman on aldehydes, which the house calls cyclamen aldehydes, with musk, blackcurrant and violet leaf. The heart gathers rose, orange blossom, carnation and ylang-ylang, joined by cistus, laurel and tarragon.
An aldehydic bouquet
The house ranks Dia 40 Woman among its aldehydic florals. Aldehydes and musk tie the opening to the florals of the past that it cites as a model, and blackcurrant and violet leaf add a green, fruity touch.
Iris and woods
The base brings together iris, sandalwood, amyris and guaiac wood. The lists published at launch stopped at iris, sandalwood and amyris, without blackcurrant, violet leaf, cistus, laurel, tarragon or guaiac.
