The story behind the bottle.
Rose Kabuki by Dior was launched in 2018 and crafted by François Demachy. The fragrance is a delicate rose enveloped in powdery musks, evoking the immaculate faces of traditional Japanese Kabuki theater. The composition begins with a bright aquatic note that adds a modern freshness to the classic floral heart, while the base notes of musk and powder create a soft, cocooning effect. This contrast between the vibrant rose and the enveloping musks makes Rose Kabuki a fragrance that feels both lasting and contemporary.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the powdery musk base will envelop you in its softness. The aquatic top notes are fleeting, so the fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across a room.

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.”
