With new, innovative and immersive experiences like the one we see here today, it is clear that both Dior Parfums and Qatar Airways Group are organisations whose identities are synonymous with innovation, elegance and firsts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking at the ceremony, Parfums Christian Dior Senior Vice President of Travel Retail Worldwide, Olivier Dubos, noted: \u201cAt Christian Dior, we have always loved perfume, and it is part of our history. This is the fourth edition of Dior Les Parfums in partnership with Qatar Airways Group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDior Les Parfums conveys our love for perfume, deeply rooted in the south of France. We have the honor today to have with us Fran\u00e7ois Demachy, who imagines all our perfumes, being based in the magical region of Grasse, the world capital of Perfumery. This pop-up is our way of bringing Grasse to people from all over the world travelling through this prestigious airport. We will take them on a sensorial journey of discovery to experience the virtual Grasse gardens, with a 360\u00b0 screen encompassing them with beautiful flowers, and living the Dior fragrance experience like nowhere else.”<\/p>\n
Qatar Duty Free Vice President Operations, Mr. Thabet Musleh, said: \u201cWe are excited to be working alongside Dior to unveil this exclusive experience at Qatar Duty Free. Parfums Christian Dior and Qatar Duty Free have a connection unlike any other in the travel retail industry. This launch is yet another step forward in building on our longstanding relationship, with the presence of our honourable guest Fran\u00e7ois Demachy. We look forward to seeing this rose inspired podium blossom at our home, Hamad International Airport.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamad International Airport Chief Operations Officer, Engr. Badr Al Meer said: \u201cWith Qatar Duty Free\u2019s extensive portfolio of leading brands, HIA offers retail choices that not only cater to each passenger and their preferences, but also lend personal and memorable experiences. QDF\u2019s partnership with Dior Parfums will do exactly that, offering a retail experience that is exclusive and special to HIA travelers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dior\u2019s love of perfumes is deeply rooted in the South of France. Located near Grasse, cradle of perfumery and land of flowers, Christian Dior nestled his home, La Colle Noire. Inspired by its magnificent garden of fragrance flowers, he felt as much a couturier as a perfumer.<\/p>\n
Grasse is also at the heart of fragrance creation with Les Fontaines Parfum\u00e9es, Dior laboratory. Behind the closed doors of its creation studio, Fran\u00e7ois Demachy imagines perfumes that cross time and ignite the senses.<\/p>\n
Close by, in Dior exclusive domains, acres of May Rose and Jasmine Grandiflorum are harvested every morning when the sun rises, and the flowers start to blossom. These flowers, so dear to Christian Dior, then release their magic and turn into captivating perfumes.<\/p>\n
Qatar Duty Free and Dior have successfully launched a number of podiums at HIA, which have included the Dior Les Parfums podium in 2015 which featured 6,000 roses, and a 180 square metre wall of flowers in 2016. Earlier this year, Qatar Duty Free launched the Maison Christian Dior boutique located in the main retail atrium of HIA. The boutique showcases the creations of Fran\u00e7ois Demachy, inspired by the idea of embellishing places and moments in life, giving them an identity by dressing them in Dior.<\/p>\n
QDF boasts more than 90 elegant boutiques and luxury, high-end stores, as well as more than 30 restaurants and caf\u00e9s covering an area of 40,000 square metres at HIA, providing travellers with a world-class shopping experience under one roof. Luxury brands also available at the five-star airport include Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Bulgari, Herm\u00e8s, Burberry, Moncler, Rolex and Harrods. In addition, the award-winning duty free retailer regularly showcases podiums and pop-up stores including the Maison Christian Dior boutique, a TUMI Pop-up store, the L’Or\u00e9al Grand Hotel Podium and the Prada Voyage Podium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
