As an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris pays its homage, Miss Dior is unveiling a precious new bottle. In this exceptional edition, the fruit of the meeting between the savoir-faire of Dior couture and perfume-making tradition, the legendary fragrance is dressed with a luxuriously embroidered bow.
On 12 February 1947, in the salons of 30 Avenue Montaigne,
seemingly all of Paris and journalists from the world over were out in force to
witness a double revolution. That of the New Look , an incomparable
statement of elegance and couture savoir-faire, and that of Miss Dior,
an unprecedented feminine fragrance, desired by Christian Dior to be "a
perfume that smells of love" . Its glass came engraved with a
houndstooth motif, while its neck was sealed with a bow.
More than sixty-five
years after its creation, Miss Dior is one of the house's
emblematic perfumes. Dior is now paying tribute to this legendary scent with a
series of twelve exceptional pieces. Miss Dior is thus revisited
as an ultra-luxurious version whose famous bow is embellished with embroidery
executed with the utmost expertise and attention by the Vermont ateliers, a
house specializing in handwork of the highest quality, which Dior acquired last
year.
On a wide black satin duchesse ribbon are intertwining real silver
threads, faintly pink beads and exquisitely delicate flowers in silk pongee.
The bottle, topped with a stopper in hand-cut and polished glass, is housed in
a luxurious coffret. It contains the precious composition that is Miss Dior
Le Parfum, a concentration of the finest raw materials, created by
François Demachy, the house's exclusive perfumer-creator. Essence of Indonesian
patchouli and Damask rose absolute unite in a daring and feminine fragrance, an
echo of the haute couture embellishment that wraps it.
