"Make me a fragrance that smells like love."
"In 1947, Miss Dior was born from Christian Dior's dream to re-enchant the lives of all women around the world and to dress them in a trail of desire. A visionary Perfumer-Couturier, he created the House’s very first fragrance at the same time as his revolutionary debut collection, known as the New Look.
Today, Miss Dior is reinvented in a contemporary, colourful, and creamy interpretation, enriched with the most precious natural ingredients. At its heart, Centifolia rose absolute unfolds a tender sweetness with honeyed and subtly peppery accents. Wrapped in warm and gourmand notes of creamy vanilla, a generous and almond-toned tonka bean absolute, and a milky sandalwood accord, it leaves a unique, intense, and long-lasting trail.
The Centifolia rose is notably grown in Dior’s exclusive rose fields in Grasse, the world capital of perfumery, nestled in the heart of the south of France, so dear to Christian Dior. Among them is Château de la Colle Noire, his Provençal residence, as well as the Naysses estate, where his younger sister Catherine Dior, the inspiration behind Miss Dior, cultivated roses.
From this unique Mediterranean terroir, between sea and mountains, exceptional flowers are born, composing a powerful trail imbued with savoir-faire, a living tribute to the House’s heritage." - Dior

Francis Kurdjian
"When I'm tasked with creating a new perfume, for me, it's all about going back to the roots. I ask myself what history has to teach me."
Referencing Christian Dior’s famous 1947 declaration ("Miss Dior was born of those evenings in Provence, alive with fireflies..."), Kurkdjian noted that the founder's words "provide a wonderful summary of a story that still continues to link Dior and Perfume... They summon the scents of nature and the beauty of that magical, gently starlit night."
"I wanted it to have something sexy about it—something flesh-like and addictive."
