Created in 1956 by Edmond Roudnitska, Diorissimo is considered an absolute masterpiece of perfumery, capturing the olfactory essence of lily of the valley with rare realism. An eternal spring, the fragrance celebrates the freshness of this May flower, Christian Dior's lucky charm and the emblem of his couture House. The Dioriginals collection brings together the House of Dior’s emblematic signatures, restored by Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creative Director. He set out to recover the fragrances’ original formulas, presented in the 1948 bottle that once housed Christian Dior’s first iconic creations.
