The trailer for Inside the Dream, a new documentary following perfumer Francis Kurkdjian as he creates J'Adore l'Or. In French with English subtitles; available for streaming on Amazon Prime now.
How a house like Dior creates a perfume
The idea is to “understand how a house like Dior creates a perfume,” said director Matthieu Menu, who came up with the idea after speaking with Olivier Bialobos, Dior deputy managing director in charge of global communication and image. “It is to understand how many people, how much time it takes to build [a perfume]. Each time we shot, I understood something [new].”
Menu was interviewed with Kurkdjian by WWD Thursday evening, just before the premiere at the Grand Rex, where spectators were provided with six scent strips to sniff at specific moments during the hour-long film.

The daily lemming
In case you have plenty of extra cash lying about this holiday, just screaming for a purpose, here's the D-Air diffuser from Dior: "Born from a collaboration between the excellence of La Collection Privée Christian Dior's savoir-faire and the technological expertise of the French brand Compoz Paris, the D-Air fragrance diffuser is a singular object, a genuine manifesto of beauty with a pure and contrasting design. Intuitive to use, it features a simple refill system, a one-touch start, and an ajustable diffusion time. This exceptional piece works with capsules that diffuse the olfactory notes of Thé Osmanthus, Ambre Nuit, Oud Supreme, Jardin d'Orangers and Figue Méditerranée." $2900. I think it includes the 5 fragrance capsules but I'm not sure and hey, what's the difference. Refill capsules are $95 each or $475 for the set of 5.
