Christian Dior: The Spirit of Perfumes

Inspired by the Belle Epoque and the floral world, Christian Dior's perfume signalled a return of elegance to the French and captured a newfound femininity. Flowers remained at the heart of his creations: clothing lines with evocative names (Muguet, Corolle, Rose), perfumes soliflores and floral bouquets. Dior's lifelong Provencal attraction shines through in his work, from his pre-war vacations, through his wartime visits to Callian and to his residency in Montaroux.Text by Olivier Quiquempois, Gregory Couderc, Cindy Levinspuhl, Vincent Leret, Elisabeth De Feydeau, Frederic Bourdelier, Edomond Roudnitska, Jean-Baptiste Pisano.
