Miss Dior Rose Essence is the first Miss Dior fragrance vintage, the fruit of the 2021 May Rose harvest from the Domaine de Manon in Grasse.
Dior’s exclusive and historic partner in Grasse, the Domaine de Manon is, for the first time, dedicating its entire May Rose harvest for distillation to obtain rose water. A wild gamble, unique at Dior, to offer Miss Dior floral water that is equally beautiful and precious.
Rose water shines at the heart of Miss Dior Rose Essence. A fresh, beneficial delight, it is inspired by the best-kept secret in Grasse: a personal pleasure passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Soft and generous, rose water refreshes this composition imbued with nature.
Miss Dior Rose Essence is the encounter between a captivating floral freshness and the sensuality of woody notes of Vetiver, Patchouli and Guaiac wrapped in soothing Musks. It is a fragrance that leaves nature in its trail, the extraordinary sensation of an endless field of roses.
Nothing is lost, everything is transformed: Dior’s responsible commitment extends all the way to the packaging of Miss Dior Rose Essence. Composed of 25% recycled glass, its ultra-thin glass bottle is nestled in a recyclable case made with FSC-certified paper that is 40% recycled and 15% rose petal residue from the harvest.
With Miss Dior Rose Essence, Dior is taking concrete action to leave beauty as a legacy
A STORY OF WATER AND FLOWERS
May Rose floral water has become truly legendary over the years, perpetuating a ceremonial feminine tradition handed down through the ages, from generation to generation. It is now bequeathed like a treasure at the heart of a new olfactory creation: Miss Dior Rose Essence, which celebrates each year at harvest time the beauty of a May Rose extolled like a vintage.
THE 2021 HARVEST
Spring has finally sprung, brightened by the May Roses that bloom by the thousand in Grasse. Beaded with fresh dewdrops, bursting with colour, they are at their most beautiful in the early morn. The sun is just starting to rise, and the women are already busy in the fields. The harvest is plentiful, gratifying; rapidly picked and carried away, the blossoms are distilled to produce the precious Rose water.
ROSE ‘TIL THE LAST DROP
Incarnating age-old expertise that celebrates the beauty of Roses grown in the tradition of the Grasse terroir, the 2021 harvest of Miss Dior Rose Essence had a duty to embrace sustainability. The Roses are used in a perfect virtuous circle in which nothing is lost, from the last distilled drop to the last fallen petal found in the fragrance case.
