Les Amphores Tricolores - Exclusive Edition
description
Designed by Christian Dior to dress his first fragrances, these crystal amphoras are characterized by a figure-eight silhouette reminiscent of voluptuous feminine curves. Handcrafted, intricately sculpted and adorned with gold detailing, these bottles are true gems of savoir-faire and excellence.
Made from Bohemia crystal, these amphoras are the result of a specific expertise called overlay. This technique involves lining clear crystal with a layer of colored crystal. The bottles are then sculpted by hand with all the precision of a goldsmith to reveal the incredibly fine details. An homage to high perfumery and a legacy of artisanal savoir-faire.

The Amphora According to Dior
Created in 1949 as an homage to the French flag, the legendary Tricolor Amphorae have been reissued in a new numbered edition. Christian Dior drew inspiration from the shape of the ancient amphora to craft the exceptional bottles that would house his first fragrances beginning in 1947. Their silhouettes mirror the iconic “figure 8”, symbol of the New Look, and soon the amphora is known as the signature bottle of the House of Dior.

The Heritage of Artisanal Savoir-faire
The Tricolor Amphorae are the result of a precious technique called overlay, which consists of coating the clear crystal with a layer of colored crystal. The bottles are then hand-sculpted with all the precision of a goldsmith to reveal the incredibly fine details.
For the blue amphora, the crystal is blended with metal oxides displaying a cobalt sheen. Only the firing and the art of cooling the subtle alchemy will bring out its blue-tinged transparencies. To obtain the color of the red amphora, the master glassmakers add 24-carat gold to the molten crystal, which produces the deep and luminous hue of the Dior red. The white amphora completes the trilogy, coated with a layer of opalescent crystal.

Three Grand Floral Fragrances
Symbolic colors, adorning the Diorissimo fragrance, restored by Francis Kurkdjian, and Miss Dior Parfum and L’Or de J’adore, new acts of creation by the Creator-Perfumer. Composed by Edmond Roudnitska, Diorissimo is a bright floral bouquet inspired by the freshness of Christian Dior's lucky flower, lily-of-the-valley. L’Or de J’adore exalts the beauty of the J’adore flowers through notes of orange blossom absolute, jasmine grandiflorum and centifolia rose. Miss Dior Parfum unveils a voluptuous trail infused with vibrant notes of mandarin, where the fruity, rosy scent of star jasmine serves as a counterpoint to the melody of wood.
