Eau fraîche
Eau de toilette - Citrus and chypre notes
Created in 1955 by Edmond Roudnitska, Eau Fraîche, a pioneer of fresh fragrances, was Christian Dior's own perfume. Its trail offers a sensation as invigorating as diving into cool water on a hot summer's day. A crystalline freshness with lemon notes enhanced by a basil and tarragon accord, elevated by the depth of vetiver. 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.
A chypre cologne turned signature
A word from the perfumer
Restoration of olfactory masterpieces
“Just as one takes care of a delicate work of art, a fragrance needs to be cherished. Just as one revives the luster and colors of a painting, the raw materials of a fragrance must be restored to preserve their quality, brilliance and nuances.”
Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director
The collection
At the heart of Dior heritage
The Dioriginals collection brings together 13 emblematic signatures that have shaped the olfactory heritage of the House of Dior and made their mark on the history of perfumery. The fragrances have been restored by Perfume Creative Director Francis Kurkdjian, who is dedicated to reviving their original radiance and luster. This is a journey through 80 years of fragrance, from classic icons by Edmond Roudnitska to more recent creations.
The ‘Oval’ bottle
The Dioriginals are presented in the 1948 ‘Oval’ bottle, which housed them from their earliest beginnings. It is now adorned with a pared-down, textured label reproducing the oval design with a metallic ring, finely striated and engraved with the “CD” monogram.
