The story behind the bottle.
Miss Dior Le Parfum Edition d’Exception, launched in 2013 by François Demachy, is an exquisite ode to the classic Miss Dior fragrance. This limited edition parfum takes a signature floral chypre composition and lifts it with precious notes of Damask rose absolute and Indonesian patchouli. The top note of Mandarin Orange introduces a bright citrus freshness that gradually gives way to the heart of Damask Rose, before settling into a warm base of Amber, Vanilla, and Patchouli Leaf. This fragrance encapsulates the elegance and sophistication for which Dior is renowned.
Apply this rich parfum sparingly — two sprays will suffice. The Mandarin Orange top note fades quickly, but the warm base notes linger for hours. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than diffused in a room.

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.”
