The story behind the bottle.
François Demachy's Diorissima, launched in 2018, is a blend of contrasts that evokes the essence of modern elegance. The fragrance opens with a vibrant citrus accord that introduces an invigorating freshness, while the heart unfolds into a rich blend of white florals and sweet lactonic notes, creating a luxurious warmth. This floral sweetness is balanced by musky and powdery undertones, which add depth and a subtle animalic touch, grounding the composition with a sophisticated sensuality.
Diorissima is best applied in two light sprays to capture its full evolution from vibrant citrus to rich, powdery warmth. The fragrance blooms gradually over an hour, so give it time to develop fully on your skin. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the musky base notes to linger close to your body.

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.”
