The story behind the bottle.
Holy Peony by Dior was launched in 2019 and crafted by François Demachy. This fragrance is a portrait of femininity captured in scent — a trompe l'oeil painting where the vibrant red fruit and apricot rose create a luminous, inviting charm. It's draped in light woods and musks that give it an amber charm, while its green leaves and soft petals evoke freshness and confidence.
Apply Holy Peony with two light sprays to capture its full complexity. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s best worn in layers for longevity. It reads beautifully close to skin, making it perfect for intimate settings where the scent can unfold gently over time.

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.”
