The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Miss Dior Edition d’Exception by Dior is a limited edition fragrance that pays homage to the iconic original from 1947. Created by François Demachy, it combines bright mandarin orange with rose and Egyptian jasmine for a vibrant top-to-heart transition, before settling into musky and patchouli notes. The composition captures the essence of classic Dior femininity, blending fresh florals with subtle powdery and woody undertones. Its strong sillage and very weak longevity make it a fragrance that leaves an immediate impression.
Due to its very weak longevity, apply Miss Dior Edition d’Exception frequently throughout the day for continuous impact. The strong sillage means it projects well from close to skin, so focus on pulse points where warmth can enhance the fragrance's intensity.

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.”
