Launched in 2010 by Dior and crafted by François Demachy, La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Milly-la-Foret is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that pays homage to the town of Milly-la-Foret near Paris. This composition opens with bright citrus notes before settling into a heart of delicate florals and a musky base that evokes the fresh scent of floral gardens. The fragrance captures the essence of Christian Dior's connection to nature, as he spent considerable time in these very woods with his mother.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers as it has a strong initial citrus burst that fades quickly. The musky base notes develop gradually, so let it settle on your skin for at least an hour to fully appreciate its depth.
