The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Dior, Belle De Jour was crafted by François Demachy and embodies the brand's enduring elegance with a composition that shifts from fruity freshness to powdery warmth. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes that give way to a heart of rose, creating an interplay between sweetness and floral depth. This is further grounded by a woody base that adds a subtle aquatic touch, ensuring the scent remains fresh and modern.
Apply Belle De Jour to pulse points for a light yet lasting effect. The fruity top notes are bright and fade quickly, so layering is key for maintaining its full character throughout the day.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.
“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
