Diorella, by Christian Dior, dates from 1972. The top brings together the green note, lemon and bergamot, all three marked by freshness; the heart blends honeysuckle, jasmine and peach, while oakmoss and vetiver, both woody, join patchouli in the base.
The green note, bergamot and lemon occupy the top; the three share the same freshness, the greenness remaining specific to the first, the acidity to lemon, the fruit to bergamot.
Honeysuckle, jasmine-like and orangey, sits alongside jasmine, warm and wild, and peach, all velvet and nectar: the heart pairs a floral material declined twice with a fleshy fruit.
Oakmoss, damp and woody, joins vetiver, woody and smoky, and patchouli, damp and earthy: wood links the first two, dampness links oakmoss to patchouli.
