The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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.
