Dior Dioressence is a Parfum launched in 1979, created by Guy Robert. Dioressence opens with Green, Fruity, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Dior's Dioressence carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A legendary, opulent chypre for those who appreciate classic perfumery. It's complex, a bit high-maintenance, and utterly breathtaking if you're willing to give it the attention it deserves. Not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern, linear scents.

About

Dioressence opens with a dramatic flourish of bright aldehydic citrus and green notes, quickly tempered by an earthy patchouli. Its heart is a rich, warm floral bouquet, where velvety rose, powdery orris, and spicy carnation intermingle with sweet ylang-ylang and intoxicating tuberose. The long dry-down is a deep, sensual embrace of warm benzoin, soft vanilla, and animalic musk, lending an almost gourmand depth that's never sickly sweet.
