Dioressence, released by Dior in 1969 and composed by Max Gavarry, is a classic, spicy floral. Florals lead strongly, with sweet, woody, citrus, fresh and resinous touches.
The listed notes describe a dense, vintage composition. Aldehydes, bergamot and orange give a bright, soapy citrus sparkle at the start, with fruity and green notes adding freshness. The heart is a full bouquet, with jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and tuberose bringing richness, and carnation and cinnamon a warm, clove-like spice. Underneath, oakmoss and patchouli give a dark, mossy depth, while vanilla, benzoin and styrax add a sweet, balsamic warmth.
There are no community reports on longevity or sillage. The spicy florals and mossy, resinous base point to autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions. Marketed for women, it suits anyone who appreciates opulent, retro chypre-style florals with a warm, spiced character.
