Diorissimo captures the essence of Muguet with rare realism
A week late, but from Dior, two May Day videos. First up, a bottle porn video for the re-release of the Baccarat bottle for Diorissimo. It is a numbered limited edition, and sorry but I don’t know where to get one or what it costs. Below the jump, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian on Diorissimo (in French, you can generate English subtitles in the YouTube settings).

To reawaken these clothes through smell
To reawaken these clothes through smell, the team from Sissel Tolaas Studio extracted scent molecules from the fabrics, then used a microfilter to trap the air and moisture. Eventually, they analyzed the molecules to identify and replicate the smells. Some of the smells you’ll find include odors found in tobacco, bitter drinks, high-end skin products, roses, polluted environments, and toothpaste. The technology is so advanced, that it even determined aromas associated with human hair and human skin that had been in contact with a dog.
