“I love this note of juicy pear, an accord that has all the tastiness of a dessert. Paired with a rose and a woody touch, it maintains an element of mystery. This perfume has a wanton, sexy and sensual charm, like a delectable woman,” says Dior’s exclusive Perfumer-Creator.

In her personal and refined Paris home, she shares her olfactory emotions for the camera. From her first tuberose-marked scented memories, to the scents that transport her today, like the floral violet, Mathilde Favier enjoys an intense and passionate love story with fragrance. And more particularly so with Maison Christian Dior's Belle de Jour, a perfume with woody and fruity notes that perfectly corresponds to her elegant and graceful allure.

“When one has the opportunity to wander across the island of Panarea, what one smells is the sea breeze, the minerality of the volcanic rock heated by the sun, the aroma of flowers, of fruits, of the rockrose. This fragrance is inspired by these strong sensations, it’s a moment spent in the shade of a fig tree with a gush of citrus and a fresh breeze that recalls the Mediterranean sun,” the House’s Perfumer-Creator explains. 

For Maison Christian Dior, he translated the olfactory notes of Sakura, Lucky, Rose Gipsy and Souffle de Soie into actual bouquets of poetic and sculptural flowers. This subtle blend of scents also inspires and guides him when it comes to his own floral creations. Sensitive and faithful to citric scents, he was drawn to the fragrance Balade Sauvage, composed by François Demachy.
