HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Dior, Rouge Trafalgar is a Chypre Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of vibrant femininity. Created by François Demachy, this scent opens with a burst of juicy raspberry, strawberry, and cherry, followed by the refreshing zest of mandarin orange and grapefruit. These fruity and citrus notes blend seamlessly into a warm base of musk and patchouli, creating a composition that is both sweet and woody, delicate yet enduring.
Rouge Trafalgar has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to ensure the fruity top notes are balanced by the warm base. It's perfect for daytime wear as it stays close to the skin rather than filling 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.”
