Era & Context

Classical

The original 1947 Miss Dior was a green chypre as revolutionary as the New Look itself — sharp galbanum and structured oakmoss in an era that expected soft florals. The name honored Christian Dior's sister Catherine, a French Resistance fighter. Though reformulated many times, the original stands as one of perfumery's greatest chypres.
