Gris Dior

The quiet sophistication of a well-appointed study, where the scent of fresh roses mingles with the rich aroma of aged books and polished wood.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gris Dior, launched by Dior in 2017 and crafted by François Demachy, is a fragrance that pays homage to the iconic Gris Dior color and celebrates the brand's 70th anniversary. The composition opens with fresh citrus notes that give way to a warm and earthy heart of rose and patchouli, anchored by a mossy and spicy base of amber and woody accords. This scent is both lasting and contemporary, reflecting the elegance and heritage of Dior.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly to let the layers unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the mossy base slowly reveals its depth over time. Ideal for a cool evening when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.

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.”
