The story behind the bottle.
La Colle Noire (2018) by Dior, crafted by François Demachy, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances freshness and warmth with a sophisticated ease. The scent opens with black currant and lemon, creating a vibrant and refreshing top note that sets the tone for the composition. As it evolves, rose and peony bring soft florality to the heart, while raspberry and lily-of-the-valley add a touch of sweetness and fruitiness. The base notes of white musk, agarwood (oud), honey, sandalwood, and amberwood create a warm and enveloping finish that is both comforting and alluring.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact — one spray initially to set the top notes, followed by another after 30 minutes as the heart notes emerge. It blooms best close to skin rather than filling a room, so aim for pulse points.

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.”
