Diorissimo by Dior was launched in 1956 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Edmond Roudnitska. This fragrance embodies a fresh, green floral bouquet that was groundbreaking at the time for its innovative use of lily-of-the-valley as a central note. The scent opens with a burst of green leaves and bergamot before diving into a heart of lily-of-the-valley, lilac, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, creating an aromatic floral blend that is both crisp and delicate. The base notes of sandalwood and civet add warmth without overpowering the fresh, soapy character that defines Diorissimo.

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.
