Gris Dior is a signature fragrance that is now more than ever closely tied to the history of Dior Couture. The fragrance is the olfactory expression of the Dior gray, the now-iconic colour Christian Dior loved to celebrate: the couture gray, the sentimental gray of the couturier's family home in Granville, Normandy, and the pearl gray of the shopfront on Avenue Montaigne.
WORDS FROM DIOR PERFUMER-CREATOR FRANÇOIS DEMACHY
"What if the Dior gray were a fragrance? This emphatic gray is not merely a mix of black and white, but the result of a chromatic blend. This profusion of colours inspired a composition that melds Jasmine and Bergamot with notes of humid undergrowth. Colour is transformed into an emblematic fragrance. Its lively scent is multifaceted and effortlessly elegant."
