The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud Elixir Precieux, created by François Demachy for Dior and launched in 2014, is part of the luxurious Les Elixirs Precieux collection. This Oriental Woody fragrance blends high concentrations of hand-picked materials to create a rich and captivating scent. At its core, Oud Elixir Precieux features oud, an exotic wood with a deep, smoky character that is both warm and alluring. The fresh spicy notes add a vibrant contrast, making the composition dynamic and engaging from start to finish.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Elixir Precieux to pulse points for a concentrated effect. The rich base notes require time to develop fully, so a heavier application on the wrists or neck will allow the fragrance's depth to unfold gradually throughout the day.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François 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.”
