The story behind the bottle.
Gris Montaigne, launched by Dior in 2013 and crafted by François Demachy, is a chypre floral fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of elegance and modernity. The composition begins with a burst of citrus from bergamot and grapefruit before settling into a heart of rose, strawberry, jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang. These florals are then grounded by earthy accords of patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar, amber, and white musk. This fragrance is both lasting and contemporary, capturing the essence of Dior's sophisticated aesthetic.
Apply Gris Montaigne to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the fragrance to settle before heading out. This composition reads best close to skin, where the warm woody base can truly shine.

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.”
