The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 and crafted by François Demachy, Happy Hour by Dior is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of youthful exuberance. The scent opens with a sharp sweetness reminiscent of cranberry, leading into a fresh floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. This blend creates an insolent, sparkling effect that embodies the carefree spirit of young adulthood. Demachy aimed to evoke the taste of happiness through this composition, making it a lovable fragrance for both women and men.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a lasting impression. The fresh spicy notes will cut through the sweetness initially, but allow the woody base to bloom over time for a balanced wear.

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.”
