Dior Spice Blend is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by François Demachy. Spice Blend opens with Ginger and Rum, settles into a heart of Pepper, Pink Pepper, Cinnamon, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Bay Leaf. Dior's Spice Blend carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Spice Blend is a captivating, if divisive, take on the classic spice profile by Dior. It's often compared to popular spiced fragrances but offers a more refined, airy, and nuanced experience. While some lament its linearity or perceived lack of projection, many praise its elegance and versatility.

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.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Spice Blend opens with an invigorating burst of spicy ginger and a sophisticated boozy rum note. The heart unfolds into a rich medley of warm spices - think cinnamon, clove, and a medley of peppers, providing a subtly hot yet never overwhelming character. This spicy core then settles onto a clean, woody base with a fresh hint of bay leaf, creating an enveloping and comforting aroma that's both refined and intriguing.
