Dior launches a new exclusive collection of ten perfumes named La Collection Couturier Parfumeur in 2010., signed by the perfumer Francois Demachy. The collection illustrates the life of the founder - the famous Christian Dior.
The collection consists of re editions of three male fragrances: Eau Noire, Bois d'Argent and Ambre Nuit, and seven new ones: Mitzah, Vetiver, Granville, Leather Oud, New Look 1947, Cologne Royale and Milly-la-Foret. Vetiver and Leather Oud are masculine perfumes; Cologne Royale is suitable for both genders, while the rest are intended for the ladies.
Cologne Royale, inspired by traditional fragrant colognes, is a scent of citruses, neroli and white musk. Francois Demachy says that "Cologne is the ultimate challenge in perfumery, because it follows the strictest style codes. It is impossible to cheat. The olfactory signature must be clear and immediately recognizable. The quality of the fragrance is entirely dependent on the quality of the ingredients used, citrus ingredients in particular. So, of course, I sought out the most fragrant notes I could find."
The fragrances from Dior La Collection Couturier Parfumeur are available in bottles of 125 ml, 225 ml and 450 ml.
Quality! Cystal clear. Crisp and fresh. Right amount of sweet and sour. Enough floral. Beautifully uplifting.
Very linear and "boring" as there is no development.
Guerlain's classic Cologne is still much much better!
Dior COLOGNE ROYALE is a bright and shiny clean mixed-citrus cologne. The composition has a decidedly green side, which I'd thought was basil, but perhaps they threw the green leaves of the neroli in along with the blossoms. In any case, it smells wonderful and would make a great summertime splash.
I agree with henri345que, though, that COLOGNE ROYALE does not stand out from the crowd--except for the quality of its components--which raises the question why such a creation should be found in the couturier line-up. A pristine white, just-pressed cotton blouse is smart and sharp and can even be chic, but it's not haute couture.
It seems that François Demachy realy focused on the the quality of the materials instead of the originality of the composition. Cologne Royale seems like a purified citrus fragrance, focused on the neroli aroma. Royale has a slightly sweet orange aroma, bitter and green, supported by a musky, creamy base. It`s refreshing, doesn`t sound cheap, but it`s a fragrance that doesn`t seem to make sense on an artistic collection. Maybe it`ll please the ones that dislike some notes on some cologne fragrance and woud like the citric accord in a purest form.
