The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 7 May 2025 4 Comments

Yeah, I guess those would look ok on my dresser? From Dior, Les Récoltes Majeures. La Rose is coming in June, Le Jasmin in September, but if you hurry you can get one of the 200 bottles recently released for Le Muguet (above left), with the flowers done up by the French Atelier Vermont. And be warned, if I understand correctly, they mean to release these every year in new designs. "At Dior, the lily-of-the-valley is more than just a flower. It is a passion, an icon, a lucky charm that Christian Dior would stitch into the seams of his garments. Francis Kurkdjian wanted to pay tribute to the legendary Diorissimo lily-of-the-valley accord, a masterwork of perfumery from 1956, while also adding his own signature touch." In 125 ml, €1200.

It smells like pencils

Posted by Robin on 22 January 2025 Leave a Comment

But, yeah, when I was talking to Francis [Kurkdjian, Dior’s perfume creation director], we did this behind-the-scenes making-of-the-scent video, and they asked me to describe it. And like every single ingredient I said had nothing to do with the scent—at all. In fact, both this one and the last Dior Homme, I was like, “It smells like pencils,” and Francis was like ...“Okay?”
