Dune was released in 1991, composed for Dior by Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Dominique Ropion. The house now traces it back to three raw materials, Sicilian mandarin, a peony accord and vanilla, and describes it as an oceanic perfume where the sea meets the land. Francis Kurkdjian restores it on October 1, 2026, along with the twelve other Dioriginals.
Victoria Frolova describes a winged bottle that fits in the palm of the hand. The Ovale bottle replaces it on October 1, 2026.
A bottle that fits in the palm of the hand
Victoria Frolova counts the bottle among the reasons for her attachment to Dune. She describes it as winged, and above all fitted to the hand, to the point of settling into it effortlessly. The glass carries the amber color of the juice. The name of its designer circulates on the web, but no accepted source confirms it: it remains a gap.
The shift of October 1, 2026
The Ovale bottle replaces this one with the Dioriginals collection: clear glass, a half-sphere cap, a white cord tied at the neck, a textured label echoing the original oval and a finely ridged metal ring engraved with the CD monogram. Serge Heftler-Louiche had designed it in 1948, and all thirteen perfumes will receive it.
