Christian Dior Miss Dior Essence ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 20 August 2025 6 Comments

Christian Dior has launched Miss Dior Essence, a new flanker to the modern version of Miss Dior. Miss Dior Essence is not to be confused with 2022's Miss Dior Rose Essence.

A symbol of a powerful and magnetic femininity imagined by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director, Miss Dior Essence expresses its intensity through a high concentration and a trail saturated with color, featuring gourmand and sensual accords.

Miss Dior Essence is both surprising and captivating: a jammy blackberry and elderflower accord elevates a wildly luxurious jasmine bouquet. Grounded in dense, enveloping woody oak accords, this playful chypre is an ode to femininity, resonating like a bold brushstroke on an olfactory floral canvas.

Miss Dior Essence asserts itself while staying true to its original identity, reinterpreting the heritage bottle designed by Christian Dior in 1948: a frosted houndstooth motif and a black grosgrain poignard bow made in France adorn its precious glass cap.

Additional notes include marmalade. 

Dior Miss Dior Essence is available in 35, 50 and 80 ml Essence de Parfum.

      It’s cute! I still like the old school “real” houndstooth bottles better, and still surprised they’ve never done a modern one even as a limited edition.

        Me too! I can still smell my first bottle of Diorissimo during college and see that beautiful original packaging!

    Interesting – I will definitely check it out. I like the new EdP version of Miss Dior, even though it swings a bit perfumy to me. Sometimes I am in the mood for that.
