The story behind the bottle.
Terra Bella by Dior was launched in 2018 and crafted by François Demachy. This aromatic fruity fragrance for women and men opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord that feels fresh and invigorating, quickly giving way to a heart of white florals and herbal notes. The base is woody and slightly sweet, creating a warm and comforting contrast to the initial freshness. Terra Bella captures the essence of a modern elegance, blending crispness with warmth in a harmonious balance.
Apply Terra Bella lightly — its aromatic and fresh spicy top notes are vivid but short-lived. The white floral and herbal heart will develop over time, so let it settle for an hour before reapplying if you want to emphasize the warmth of the base.

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.”
