The House of Dior was built on the love of women and flowers. Christian Dior drew inspiration, strength and happiness from his gardens, whether in Granville or La Colle Noire.
The Flowers of Dior
After 30 years of research, Dior has identified 9 flowers with exceptional properties and qualities, and analyzed their skincare potential to transfer it to the skin
The Rose de Granville
The Rose de Granville, which was chosen from among 40,000 varieties for its resilience and abundance of flowers, boasts a unique genomic heritage and extraordinary molecular richness. These active ingredients are up to 4 times more biologically effective than retinoic acid on the youthful appearance of the skin.
Longoza from Madagascar
The phoenix flower—named after its unique power of self-regeneration—blooms on the island of Madagascar. This flower infuses Capture Totale skincare with its strength.
Vines from Chateau D’yquem
