Dior Cruise Collection Escale a Parati is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by François Demachy. Cruise Collection Escale a Parati opens with Lemon, Bitter Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Red Berries, Rosewood, Cinnamon, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Woody and Tonka Bean. Dior's Cruise Collection Escale a Parati carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Dior's Escale a Parati is a divisive but intriguing take on the classic cologne. Some find it a vibrant, elegant summer staple, while others are put off by its 'old-fashioned' or overly masculine edge. Definitely one to try before you buy.

About

Imagine a zesty, bitter citrus blast, dominated by lemon and bitter orange, immediately balanced by the green, slightly sharp aroma of petitgrain and a whisper of bracing mint. As the initial freshness settles, a dry, warm woodiness emerges, specifically rosewood, softened by a touch of warm cinnamon and a subtly sweet, powdery tonka bean base. It's a journey from invigorating brightness to a sophisticated, woody drydown.
