"After women, flowers are the most divine creations," said Christian Dior. To his eyes, the queen of flowers, the one who scented and embellished his childhood at Granville, was none other than the rose after which he named many of his haute couture designs: Roseraie, Rose France, Rose Thé, Rose Pompon, Rose de Damas, to mention just a few. In his collections, its petals and its grace provided inspiration for his "flower-women", as its color became a favorite shade and that of his first perfume, Miss Dior. "For four years, we worked and searched, like alchemists in pursuit of the philosopher's stone ... And finally Miss Dior was born," Monsieur Dior revealed in his memoirs. The celebration of this undisputed queen of flowers continues in the heady declaration of love that is Miss Dior Rose N'Roses. Studded with incisive, lively and rounded notes, its composition is irresistibly feminine, as captured in the drawings of René Gruau. From its delicate beauty to the intense scent it leaves in its wake, the rose brings a touch of gaiety and a sweet and comforting burst of joy we share with you today.
