Dune pour Homme
Eau de toilette - Woody and green notes
Intensity
Created in 1997 by Olivier Cresp, Dune pour Homme is a return to authenticity and nature, inspired by walks along the seashore where the dunes meet the ocean. This aromatic nomadic trail blends green notes, such as fig leaf, with woody notes of cedar and sandalwood. 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
A Mediterranean woody trail
Dune pour Homme reveals an intentionally pared-down signature that went against the tide of an era when masculine fragrance was defined by complexity. Evoking the landscapes of the Mediterranean, the fig leaf note imbues the fragrance with a verdant freshness, in perfect harmony with the woody accents of cedar and sandalwood.

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 bottle
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.
