Launched in 1972 by Dior and created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, Diorella is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and elegance. The composition opens with Sicilian lemon and bergamot, providing a vibrant green note that transitions into the aromatic heart of basil and honeysuckle. Moroccan jasmine and rose add depth, while earthy vetiver and patchouli ground the scent with a mossy, fresh spicy finish.

Application Tips
Apply Diorella to pulse points for a delicate yet lasting scent. The fresh top notes are particularly bright, so one or two sprays will suffice. Allow it to settle on your skin for about five minutes before heading out — this ensures that the green and citrus notes blend seamlessly into the floral heart.
Edmond Roudnitska
Founding perfumer · 23 fragrances · French
Edmond Roudnitska is remembered today as one of the most important perfumers in history: as a ""perfumer composer"" and the inventor of modern perfumery. His encounter in the 1950s with Serge Heftler-Louiche, the founder of Parfums Christian Dior and Frédéric Malle’s grandfather, was decisive. Together they created many legendary perfumes: “Eau Fraîche”, “Diorissimo”, “Diorella”, and most famous of all, “Eau Sauvage”, whose launch coincided with the public’s recognition of Edmond as the first “nose” of the perfume industry.Edmond began his career as a chemist at Roure Bertrand Dupont, where he developed an encyclopedic knowledge of natural and synthetic raw materials, as well as a distinctive minimalist style, which led to his legendary, secret masterpiece, “Le Parfum de Thérèse”. Only she, his wife, was allowed to wear it; but as a token of their shared family history, and their mutual trust, she entrusted the formula to Frédéric Malle after Edmond’s death.
