Dior Paradise by Christian Dior ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 22 May 2026 6 Comments

Christian Dior has introduced Dior Paradise, the latest addition to their upscale La Collection Privée Christian Dior fragrance series.

Dior Paradise was inspired by the hundreds of almond trees at Christian Dior's Château de La Colle Noire, and the almond syrup cocktails he enjoyed:

Inspired in part by Dior’s love of barley water syrup and almonds’ tender, sun-warmed sweetness, the fragrance pairs creamy bitter almond with a bright cocktail of mandarin, orange and lime. Its heart suggests what [perfumer Francis] Kurkdjian calls “an irresistible almond biscuit,” while roasted tonka bean extends the softness with a biscuity warmth. A fresh woody accord grounds the composition in Provence, evoking sun on bark, blossom and stone.

Dior Paradise by Christian Dior is available in 50, 100 or 200 ml Eau de Parfum, and in a 12 ml travel spray.

    “ Inspired in part by Dior’s love of barley water syrup and almonds’ tender, sun-warmed sweetness” – Oh goody, another bit of lore of Mr Dior’s unearthed. It’s so easy to mine dead people for inspiration, isn’t it?

    That being said, the notes sound nice and I hope this one’s good.
