Dioressence
Eau de toilette - Chypre and spicy notes
Intensity
Created in 1979 by Max Gavarry, Dioressence is the House of Dior's first amber fragrance. A sensual fragrance with patchouli notes whose perfect balance of Dior's floral elegance and animalic magnetism evokes a world of voluptuous sensuality. 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.
The fragrance
An avant-garde amber by Dior
Dioressence makes its mark as a bold ambery fragrance, its trail as sensual as it is untamable. It reveals a grand spicy chypre where patchouli meets Dior floral elegance and an almost animalic sensuality, creating a unique, voluptuous 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 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.
