The story behind the bottle.
Vanilla Diorama by Dior, launched in 2021 and crafted by François Demachy, is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that weaves together warm spices with rich vanilla notes. The top opens with bright citrus and pink pepper, creating a lively contrast against the heart of rum and cacao. This composition then settles into a base of bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli, offering a comforting warmth that feels both familiar and luxurious.
Apply Vanilla Diorama with two sprays — it blooms gradually over time. The citrus top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the rich base notes of vanilla and wood develop slowly for a lasting warmth that feels close to skin.

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.”
