The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Eau de Dior Coloressence Relaxing, launched in 2000 and crafted by Domitille Michalon Bertier, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the essence of serene sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from lemon tree and bergamot, which contrast beautifully against the rich and comforting tones of sandalwood and cedar. At its heart, violet and rose add an elegant floral touch, while tonka bean and vanilla provide warmth and sweetness. This fragrance is a proof of Dior's legacy of blending classic elegance with modern comfort.

How to wear it

Apply Eau de Dior Coloressence Relaxing in light layers to allow its powdery and woody notes to unfold gradually. It pairs well with crisp white linens and is best enjoyed during quieter moments, where its subtle warmth can truly shine.
