Recently, the Christian Dior brand launched a new, invigorating fragrance — dubbed Miss Dior Essence. This luxe perfume product is presented as a more concentrated formulation that will provide a more intense olfactory experience within the iconic Miss Dior line.
Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian describes the scent as a bold, pop-art-inspired statement. The luxe fragrance profile is characterized by a pronounced gourmand and fruity profile that also features top notes of blackberry jam and elderflower, a heart of jasmine sambac, and a deep, sensual base of oak wood.
Dior markets the Miss Dior Essence alongside a conceptual narrative of liberation and daring self-assurance. The luxury label also commissioned a supporting film campaign, featuring actress Natalie Portman, to accompany the launch and reinforce the perfume's expressive and irreverent character.
