Cologne Blanche, launched by Dior in 2004 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that embodies modern elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from orange and bergamot, which seamlessly blend into the fresh spicy aroma of rosemary. At its heart, Tunisian orange blossom brings an exquisite floral touch, while almond introduces a nutty sweetness. The base notes of vanilla and tonka bean add warmth and depth, rounding out a scent that feels both classic and contemporary.

Application Tips
Apply one generous spritz to ensure the citrus top notes make an immediate impact. The almond and orange blossom heart will emerge over time, so allow a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance works best in cooler temperatures when its fresh spicy elements are most noticeable.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
