The first Miss Dior isn’ta 21st-century creation. It was introduced in 1947 by Christian Dior, who wanted a fragrance that smelt like love. The EDT was a powdery floral-chypre scent of bergamot, galbanum, rose, oakmoss, jasmine and sandalwood.
Some 70 years and more than 20 editions (reinterpreted either in-house or by other renowned noses) later, Miss Dior’s mission continues. The latest iteration, updated by the French brand’s perfumer-creator Francois Demachy, is a more exuberant version with a subtle hint of effervescence: a citrusy prelude of blood orange, mandarin and Calabrian bergamot, then a floral heart of Grasse and Turkish Damascus roses tempered with pink peppercorn and Guyanese rosewood.
