About this fragrance
Dioressence
Dioressence is an Oriental Spicy eau de toilette for women, originally launched by Christian Dior in 1979. A bold, complex composition built on a spiced floral and resinous core, it opens with aldehydes, bergamot and petitgrain before a rich heart of rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang develops an opulent, almost theatrical character. Civet, vetiver, patchouli and musk anchor the base with a deep, animalic dry down that is richly distinctive. A fragrance for confident wearers who appreciate classic, full-bodied orientals with heritage and character.
Dioressence is one of Dior's most complex and storied feminines, beloved by fragrance collectors and classic perfume enthusiasts alike.

What to Expect
The opening is brisk and slightly powdery, with aldehydes lifting bergamot and petitgrain into a sharp, classical introduction. Rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang develop the heart into a rich, full-bodied floral accord with an opulent, vintage character. Civet, vetiver and patchouli ground the dry down in deep, earthy warmth with a distinctly animalic depth that is characteristic of fragrances from this era. As an EDT, longevity is strong at six to eight hours; projection is confident and suits evening wear and cooler months.
