The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Fève Délicieuse by Dior is a sumptuous Oriental fragrance crafted by François Demachy. The composition opens with the freshness of Calabrian bergamot and lavender, creating an unexpected contrast to its rich heart of caramel, dark chocolate, and tonka bean. This sweet, indulgent accord is further enhanced by Madagascar vanilla and jasmine, grounding it in a warm base of sandalwood, cedar, and leather. The result is a fragrance that balances the lightness of citrus with the depth of spices and woods.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in layers — a light mist on pulse points at first, followed by another layer after 30 minutes. The sweet notes will fade within two hours, but the warm base notes will linger for much longer, providing a comforting embrace throughout the day.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François 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.”
