The story behind the bottle.
Cruise Collection Escale a Parati by Dior was launched in 2012 and crafted by François Demachy. This fragrance opens with the brightness of lemon and petitgrain, creating an immediate sense of freshness and lightness. As it develops, the aromatic mint and palisander rosewood add depth, while red berries bring a touch of sweetness. The base notes of cinnamon and tonka bean provide warmth and complexity, grounding the composition in a lush, woody embrace.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The bright citrus notes fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain its freshness throughout the day. It pairs well with a light jacket for layering in cooler weather.

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.”
