Dior La Colle Noire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by François Demachy. La Colle Noire opens with Lemon and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, Peony, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk. Dior's La Colle Noire carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is Dior's quiet luxury take on a fresh rose, a scent that whispers elegance rather than shouts. While some find it a bit too light or even unoriginal, others embrace its gentle charm and subtle complexity.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and elegant, fresh floral profile make it highly versatile for most occasions, especially daytime and intimate settings. It is too subtle for a strong formal statement and not invigorating enough for sport.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

La Colle Noire opens with a spritz of bright blackcurrant and lemon, quickly blossoming into a lush bouquet where Centifolia rose reigns supreme, supported by sweet peony and a delicate touch of lily of the valley. Juicy raspberry and peach add a soft, fruity sweetness that prevents the florals from becoming too sharp. The dry down is a clean, comforting musk, with whispers of woods that lend a refined depth.
