Introduced in 1947 by Christian Dior the same year he introduced his "New look", a throw back to the pre-war styles of the fifties, feminine and flowing. As consumers flocked to update their wardrobe the new fragrance gained notoriety. This classic, impeccable floral has notes of bergamot, clary sage, gardenia, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, carnation, orris, patchouli, oak moss, amber, and vetiver. The classic packaging is a hounds-tooth check box, while the bottle is embossed with hounds-tooth on clear crystal and tied with a white satin bow.
