Around the corner from the House of Chanel in Paris, another iconic fashion house, Christian Dior, has been creating classic fragrances for women.

Nothing smells more like love than flowers, and this fragrance has a blend of damask roses and Egyptian jasmine, balanced with fruity Italian mandarins, swirled with amber, enhanced with Indonesian Patchouli, and vanilla. This is a precious and elegant signature scent worn by iconic women like Marlena Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Natalie Portman.
