The story behind the bottle.
Miss Dior (2012) by Dior was launched in 2012 as a reformulation and renaming of the earlier Miss Dior Cherie line. Created by François Demachy, this fragrance is a chypre floral that evolves from a sharp, citrus opening with Italian mandarin to a heart of rose and Egyptian jasmine before settling into a musky base with patchouli. This version of Miss Dior stands out among collectors for its distinct character compared to both its predecessor and later reformulations.
The composition glides seamlessly from the freshness of mandarin to the floral richness of rose and jasmine, culminating in the warm embrace of patchouli and musk. It captures an elegant and spirited joie de vivre that is at once romantic and playful.
Apply two sprays at pulse points for a balanced wear throughout the day. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so allow time for the floral heart to emerge before venturing out. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.
