Dioressence is the perfume that Dior launched in 1969 under the slogan “the barbaric perfume,” composed by Guy Robert to accompany a fur collection. An amber chypre, animalic at the outset, it has been reworked several times, down to the current eau de toilette, an oriental of geranium, cinnamon and patchouli that Francis Kurkdjian restores on 1 October 2026.
