Dior Les Creations de Monsieur Dior - 5 Classics by Dior

The house of Dior has rightfully held one of the first places in the world of perfumes for years. Dior’s collection Les Creations de Monsieur Dior introduced in 2009 represents a review of vintage editions. The collection includes 5 perfumes – 5 classic fragrances favorized by many women worldwide.

Diorella, Dioressence, Diorissimo, Eau Fraiche Forever and Ever make the five fragrances of the Les Creations de Monsieur Dior collection, presented as timeless opus of Dior which resists time and new trends.

What is worth your attention is triple accent on the legendary Diorissimo which arrives in three different strengths this year: 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, 50 ml Eau de Parfum and 15 ml Extrait de Parfum.

A floral bouquet with accentuated lily of the valley decorates the romantic Diorissimo from 1955 created by Edmond Roudnitska. Top notes include sweet, exotic ylang-ylang, a heart is enriched with lily of the valley, while a base features jasmine as the key note of the whole composition.

Floral choir appears as a companion which includes lilac, lily, amarilis, boronia, rosemary; freshness starts with bergamot and green notes, while sandalwood and civet make the whole composition very sensual.

This was created as rebellion against the trend of sweet and intense fragrances with an intention to bring a romantic blend of green and fresh elements in perfect harmony with fine and clear floral notes.

This collection offers the fragrance in three strengths: EDT, EDP and perfume extract. The three editions will thrill all fans of Dior's classic.

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo EDP is more intense and opulent, accentuated with jasmine as carrier of the composition. Top notes incorporate legendary lily of the valley (carrier of the EDT edition), a heart includes Egyptian jasmine absolute, while base notes encompass sophisticated, sensual white musk. Creator is Francois Demachy.

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo Extrait de Parfum repeats the composition of EDT in stronger concentration and accentuates ylang ylang in a top, and lily of the valley and jasmine in a base of this version, available in a charming 15 ml flacon shaped like other flacons of the Les Creations de Monsieur Dior collection.

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo Eau de Toilette has the same composition as perfume extract, but it's airier and has less intensity. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100ml EDT.

Dioressence is a classic, sharp chypre from 1979 composed of aldehydes, fruit, bergamot, orange, patchouli and green notes in the beginning. Its development brings a floral heart of violet, tuberose, jasmine, carnation, rose, geranium, lily of the valley and ylang ylang, with a hint of cinnamon and powdery iris root. A base continues with patchouli combined with vanilla, galbanum, musk, moss, styrax and vetiver.

The new edition Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Dioressence EDT is concentrated on geranium from Egypt, cinnamon from Ceylon and patchouli from Indonesia as carriers of the composition. Available as 50 and 100ml edt.

Diorella is a fragrance with chypre floral composition presented in 1972 as a fragrance of independence and free spirit. Its gentle, floral structure is composed of fruity-green notes in the beginning leaving a sophisticated chypre effect (melon, bergamot, lemon, basil and green leaves). A heart introduces sweet fruity and floral nuances of peach and honeysuckle (with rose, cyclamen, jasmine, carnation), while a base is created of moss and patchouli which enhance the chypre closure with musk and vetiver notes.

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorella EDT has accentuated luminous lemon from Sicily and combines its freshness with sweet and floral honeysuckle in a heart and vetiver in a base. The new edition arrives in a redesigned flacon (50 and 100 ml EDT).

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette is a fresh chypre fragrance which focuses on agrums from Sicily and Calabrian, leaving an elegant impression of the composition and creating a classic, elegant blend. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100ml EDT.

The original fragrance Eau Fraiche was launched in 1953 and its perfumer is Edmond Roudnitska. This refreshing composition includes citruses (lemon and bergamot), wood (rosewood, vetiver) and oak moss in a base.

Romantic violet nuances announce the last fragrance of the Creations de Monsieur Dior Forever and Ever collection while insinuating Dior's timeless compositions which will be worn by next generations.

Forever and Ever was presented in 2002 as a sophisticated floral composition which leaves a mild, spicy trail in a base. A floral bouquet of freesia, jasmine, rose, pelargonium and almond blossom are refreshed with ivy and spiced with nutmeg, vanilla and musk.

The new version of Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Forever and Ever is available in a lovely glass flacon (50 and 100 ml EDT) with an accentuated floral light-motive of the composition. Pink nuances of the fragrance were inspired by rose-garden Dior Granville. Top notes of the perfume bloom with freesia flowers, a heart hides jasmine from India, while a base is enriched with intoxicating Bulgarian rose-garden.

The new collection can be found on the market from November 4th 2009. (Dior.com)
