Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet

At its launch in 2014, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet was classified among fruity florals: a peony at its center, freshened with Sicilian mandarin and set on white musks, in a light trail the house wants to be silky.

The recomposed peony

Peony yields no usable essence: the house recomposed it from rose essence and fruity notes of peach and apricot. François Demachy added Damask rose for the feminine touch of the bouquet.

Today

The current version opens on lively notes of sweet pea and Calabrian bergamot. A duo of Damask rose and peony forms the heart, and a soft accord of white musks closes the bouquet, with a cottony, slightly powdery effect.

The house’s American page gives Damask rose a lychee facet and adds an enveloping cedar wood. Grapefruit, mango, lily of the valley, blackcurrant, sandalwood and Evernyl appear in no current Dior pyramid.

What the label declares

The list is short: alcohol, water and fragrance, an ultraviolet filter, avobenzone, and eleven allergens that must be declared, including limonene, linalool, citronellol, isoeugenol, hydroxycitronellal and geraniol.

Three colorants, red CI 14700, yellow CI 19140 and violet CI 60730, tint the juice pink. Water comes before fragrance in the list, a sign of a light concentration, consistent with an eau de toilette.
