Books Dior In Bloom

For Christian Dior, perfume was “a door that opens into a hidden world.” His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, created an unbreakable bond between his fashion and perfume creations. Other fragrances were inspired by evenings in the south of France, illuminated with fireflies and perfumed with jasmine. The roses of his home in Granville. his old country mill and Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse – where jasmine, tuberose and May roses dominate and are still grown – inspired Dior’s most memorable creations.
