Miss Dior Originale, a myth of perfumery

Christian Dior said of Miss Dior: I created this fragrance to dress women in a sillage of desire, and to see all my dresses emerge from its bottle. As one may understand, Miss Dior Originale is a feminine juice that fits perfectly within the continuity of the Dior house's couture spirit.

The birth of Miss Dior

Miss Dior was the very first fragrance created by the Dior couture house. As an anecdote, it owes its name to chance. Indeed, one day, Mitzah Bricard, the couturier's muse, was standing in his salon on Avenue Montaigne and saw Catherine, Christian Dior's younger sister, arrive. She then said, Well, here comes Miss Dior! This is how the couturier got the idea to launch this first fragrance. He then imagined a scent similar to that of a Provence evening crossed by fireflies, where green jasmine serves as a counter-melody to the song of the night and the earth.

Christian Dior's boldness

Christian Dior's creative genius led him to make Miss Dior a complex fragrance full of duality. It juxtaposes freshness with warmer tonalities. It is meant to be particularly feminine and sensual. If its opening is rather green and striking, its base, on the other hand, is more ardent and chypre. In this respect, Miss Dior is a fragrance reflecting a feminine and carefree grace. Rose, jasmine and neroli contribute to giving it a very romantic spirit. Its grace is then combined with the sensuality of amber, patchouli, cistus and vetiver for a particularly captivating result. Furthermore, all of Dior's refinement was also displayed in its original bottle, which was none other than a crystal amphora by Baccarat.
