Dior Diorissimo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2014, created by François Demachy. Diorissimo opens with Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Jasmine. Dior's Diorissimo carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A legendary floral masterpiece, this extrait de parfum version of Diorissimo is a potent, heady bouquet that demands attention. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it gloriously opulent and others aggressively green or 'banana-like'.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and 'attention-getting' nature, this extrait is best reserved for formal events or a special date night. Its opulent floral character and vintage elegance make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be too overpowering.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a vibrant, almost fruity greenness, Diorissimo quickly blossoms into a breathtaking white floral heart. Lily of the Valley, the undisputed star, is exquisitely rendered - fresh, crisp, and slightly aquatic. Jasmine provides a sensual, fleshy depth, while ylang-ylang adds a creamy sweetness, creating a rich yet surprisingly airy floral fantasy. The base hints at subtle musk and earthy undertones, grounding the opulent bouquet.
