Joyeux Quatorze Juillet, France!

I love FRANCE and today is The French National Day, 14th of July 2024, a perfect occasion for myself to wish all the people that are French to have a Wonderful Anniversaire!

The perfect product to celebrate this very special day comes, from my point of view, from DIOR and actually, there are 3 Exceptional Pieces: The Tricolor Amphorae, recently launched by Maison Christian Dior. I consider these 3 beautiful, exquisite bottles of perfumes perfect for The National Day of France because they were created in 1949 as an homage to the French flag. Today, the legendary Tricolor Amphorae have been reissued in a new numbered edition. Christian Dior drew inspiration from the shape of the ancient amphora to craft the exceptional bottles that would house his first fragrances beginning in 1947. Their silhouettes mirror the iconic “figure 8”, symbol of the New Look, and soon the amphora is known as the signature bottle of the House of Dior.

THE HERITAGE OF ARTISANAL SAVOIR-FAIRE

The Tricolor Amphorae are the result of a precious technique called overlay, which consists of coating the clear crystal with a layer of colored crystal. The bottles are then hand-sculpted with all the precision of a goldsmith to reveal the incredibly fine details.

For the blue amphora, the crystal is blended with metal oxides displaying a cobalt sheen. Only the firing and the art of cooling the subtle alchemy will bring out its blue-tinged transparencies. To obtain the color of the red amphora, the master glassmakers add 24-carat gold to the molten crystal, which produces the deep and luminous hue of the Dior red. The white amphora completes the trilogy, coated with a layer of opalescent crystal.

THREE GRAND FLORAL FRAGRANCES

Symbolic colors, adorning the Diorama fragrance, restored by Francis Kurkdjian, and Miss Dior Parfum and L’Or de J’adore, new acts of creation by the Creator-Perfumer. Composed by Edmond Roudnitska, Diorama is a bright floral bouquet inspired by the freshness of Christian Dior’s lucky flower, lily-of-the-valley.

L’Or de J’adore exalts the beauty of the J’adore flowers through notes of orange blossom absolute, jasmine grandiflorum and centifolia rose. Miss Dior Parfum unveils a voluptuous trail infused with vibrant notes of mandarin, where the fruity, rosy scent of star jasmine serves as a counterpoint to the melody of wood.

I love you, France! I wish you to have a beautiful party!

VIVE LA FRANCE!
