Miss Dior Rose N Roses: the scent of a field of flowers in a Dior bottle. In 1947, Christian Dior revolutionized fashion, giving birth to the elegance of the New Look.

The return of Dior's iconic bottle in a more rosy hue
Let's start with a look at the visual of Miss Dior Rose N'Roses. Its bottle takes up absolutely all of the Dior brand's codes, modernizing them and adapting them to this new composition. Since this is a rose-based fragrance, Dior chose this hue to dominate the whole. Here, pink takes over a rectangle of pure, transparent glass, whose side walls are decorated with the famous houndstooth pattern so dear to Christian Dior. Likewise, another emblematic Dior element: a small silver bow adorns the neck of this bottle. Between modernity and heritage, Miss Dior Rose N'Roses takes us on a genuine journey through time and through Dior's history.
Roses from Grasse elevated by Dior
As the name of this fragrance indicates, Miss Dior Rose N'Roses is a rose-based composition. Here, perfumer François Demachy chose the finest variety of rose there is: rose from Grasse. These are presented in an enormous, generous, romantic bouquet. For Miss Dior Rose N'Roses, I wanted to create not a rose but rather the embodiment of a floral profusion, the perfumer explains. At first, the roses are freshened with bergamot and mandarin. Geranium, meanwhile, opens the way to a particularly floral essence. Then, as if to illuminate the woman wearing this fragrance, the whole ends with a more radiant, pure halo of white musk. It should be noted that the roses in Miss Dior Rose N'Roses were hand-cultivated, following tradition, to preserve all the properties of this delicate flower.
Miss Dior Rose N'Roses in a very Haute Couture advertisement
Finally, on the advertising side, Miss Dior Rose N'Roses appears in a campaign starring the talented Natalie Portman. Highly sensual, the actress lights up the screen and captivates with her natural presence and her outfit, a Haute Couture gown designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Covered in petals falling onto her skin, the actress fascinates while revealing her femininity to the track Chandelier by Sia, now inseparable from Dior's advertisements. Visually, the magic works and Miss Dior Rose N'Roses truly delivers on all its promises.
