description

Diorama is the second fragrance by the House of Dior. Created in 1949 by Edmond Roudnitska, Diorama is designed like a Parisian Haute Couture fragrance, infused with the exquisite elegance and sophistication so dear to Christian Dior.

The enchanting blend of floral and spicy notes gives Diorama all of its originality. As Mr. Dior wished, it is “a fragrance like no other”.

François Demachy, Perfumer-Creator for the House of Dior, interprets the original Diorama theme in a new Haute Couture fragrance, enriched with the highest quality raw materials.

olfactory notes

Essence of ylang-ylang from the Comoros

Grown in the Comoro archipelago, fresh Ylang-Ylang flowers are steam-distilled to yield an essence used to compose numerous fragrances in perfumery. Ylang-ylang perfectly complements various floral notes and gives elegance, volume and originality to the composition.

Essence of Egyptian Cumin

Cumin is an aromatic plant native to the Nile and now cultivated in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Its seed is one of the oldest known spices, used as a condiment since the time of antiquity in the cuisine of Mediterranean countries. Cumin Essence, obtained via steam distillation, is used in perfumery. Its very characteristic scent, used in minimal doses, is warm, spicy, slightly animal and anise-like.

Essence of Indonesian Patchouli

Patchouli is a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Indispensable in the perfumer’s palette, its essence is steam-distilled from the dried leaves. It is used in chypre, woody and oriental fragrances.

perfumer''s word

Because Christian Dior felt as much a Perfumer as a Couturier, he wanted to create fragrances so he could see each of his dresses emerge one by one from the bottles.
