Launched in 2004 by Dior and crafted by the renowned perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, Lily Dior is a floral masterpiece that captures the essence of delicate white florals. The composition opens with a burst of freshness from lily-of-the-valley, seamlessly blending into the heart notes of ylang-ylang and jasmine, creating an aromatic bouquet that is both enchanting and serene. The base notes of rose add a subtle sweetness, grounding the fragrance in a harmonious balance.

Application Tips
Lily Dior has moderate longevity and sillage, so a single spritz is sufficient to allow the fragrance to develop naturally on your skin. It pairs well with light fabrics and works best during daytime or early evening events where its subtle sweetness can be appreciated.
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.
