The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Dior, Cheval Blanc Paris is a floral woody musk fragrance crafted by François Demachy. This composition opens with a delicate white floral note that introduces an air of elegance and refinement, quickly enveloped by powdery and musky accords that create a subtle yet profound warmth. The animalic undertones add a layer of complexity, making this scent both familiar and intriguing. Cheval Blanc Paris is a modern interpretation of Dior's classic French sophistication.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a moderate sillage that allows the powdery musk to unfold gradually. It's best suited for daytime wear when the warmth of its base notes complements the lightness of the floral top notes.

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.”
