The famous couturier Christian Dior believed in fate and adored flowers. His faith and love led him to create his own world-famous fashion house, and the name became synonymous with style. Over the years, the most beautiful women in the world have become his muses. And its aromas are incredibly popular in all corners of the Earth. Dior's name is written in gold letters in the history of haute couture and high perfumery. Not for nothing that the poet and playwright Jean Cocteau jokingly deciphered the name of his friend Christian as derived from the French words Di (Dieu - âGodâ) and Or (âGoldâ).
Brand history
Christian Dior was born on January 21, 1905 into a wealthy family and was the second of five Dior offspring. As a child, he was predicted that he would become rich thanks to women. And the young Christian had to remember this prediction when, after the death of his parents, he went through difficult times. Perhaps if he had become a diplomat at the insistence of his parents, the history of the Dior house would never have happened, but the future fashion designer chose a different path. He was always interested in art, and although his art gallery, which he opened with friends, went bankrupt, Monsieur Dior did not lose faith in himself. Then, at the insistence of friends, he began to sell his drawings and sketches and was spotted by designer Robert Piguet, and later worked for Lucien Lelong, where he opened his first perfume laboratory.
The dream of independence came true in 1946, when Christian Dior opened his small atelier on Montaigne Street in Paris. His first Corolle collection (also known as New Look - âNew Lookâ, as the journalist Carmel Snow aptly defined) of 1947 was included in all fashion encyclopedias as the most famous in the world. During the post-war forced economy, Christian Dior created the "flower woman." The silhouette of dresses - refined, even deliberately feminine, with a narrow waist and a wide skirt - made a splash in the world of style. But the show would not be complete without a luxurious scent. The couturier himself did not get tired of repeating that perfume is the last touch of the image, you cannot do without them. Today, perfumes from the house "Dior" is the fourth in the world in terms of sales. And the history of aromas began back in 1947, when the first perfumes of the fashion house - Miss Dior, were born, which became the basis for beautiful variations, including such as the perfume Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet.
After the death of the founder, Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano stood at the helm of the Dior house. Concepts and ideas have changed, but Christian Dior's perfectionism continues to reign on Montaigne street, 30.
Fragrance History
The first fragrance from Dior was floral chypre and at first the ladies didnât even like it. But the trick during the show, when all the guests were simply watered with perfume, and the air was saturated with the scent of âMiss Diorâ, played a role: the first perfume of the Christian Dior fashion house gained unprecedented popularity. The feminine silhouettes of the dresses, which contrasted so sharply with the military uniform, also added charm to the new sound of perfumes. In addition to the unusual refined smell, the fragrance was also clothed in an elegant bottle shape in the form of an amphora. Over time, the bottle was changed to square, so that it was convenient to keep on the dressing table. And the aroma itself found a second wind in 1992, when it was reformulated, softening the prickly chypre. It was this formula that served as the basis for many flankers. So, in 2005, in honor of the centenary of the founder of the house, the perfumery water Miss Dior Cherie (âMiss Dior Sheriâ) was born, a lighter version of the legendary perfumes. And three years later, in 2008, the fashion house launches Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet ("Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet") - according to the connoisseurs of the brand, an even more fresh and fruity version.
Thus, the 21st century was a turning point for the fragrant Miss Dior family. The fragrances were divided into three branches: âMiss Diorâ, âMiss Dior Sheriâ and âMiss Dior Blooming Bouquetâ (together with âSheri Blooming Bouquetâ), which differ not only in name but also in formula. The softest and most tender of them is Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. This beautiful floral fragrance was just as different from its ancestor âMiss Diorâ as a girl is different from an adult woman, but at the same time had an elusive similarity at its core - femininity and sophistication. âBlooming Bouquetâ was created in the era of technological progress and played the same role as âMiss Diorâ in its time - tried to give the woman the joy of beauty when she is surrounded by stress and a frantic rhythm. Against the backdrop of thick sweet aromas of 2014, such as Black Opium from Yves Saint Laurent, Velvet Orchid from Tom Ford or Sunshine from Amouage, as follows from the reviews, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet from Christian Dior favorably differed in freshness and lightness.
Bottle of charm
The first perfumes of Christian Dior looked elegant and feminine, like his dresses.
But then the bottle was changed for convenience. An elegant bow frames the neck of the Miss Dior bottle from its very first release in 1947. This symbol of femininity Christian Dior invented himself. At first the bow was black, then silver, and then changed colors depending on the issue. Now in limited collections, an elegant bow can be decorated with embroidery or rhinestones. The bottle itself is cubic in shape with a plastic silver bow. At the bottom there are no stickers or inscriptions, only a pattern of convex rhombuses with wavy sides. The laser code can be found on the wall of the bottle. The Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet reviews indicate that the liquid inside the bottle may be bright or pale pink, but not yellow and not transparent. The bottle is completely glass with a plastic chrome bow. The tube inside, slightly bending, abuts against the bottom of the bottle. On the official website of the Dior fashion house, you can find a new format for the release of perfume in the form of a rollerball in a long bottle.
Surprisingly, being a completely modern aroma, âBlooming Bouquetâ, thanks to its bottle, retained a touch of vintage sophistication. Today, popular perfumes are available in various formats, but Miss Dior looks especially charming and is a real decoration for every womanâs dressing table.
Fragrance Description
For the first time, Miss Dior Sheri Blooming Bouquet, without the eccentric notes of popcorn and cherry, appeared in Asia as a special version of the famous Miss Dior Sheri. Reviews about the perfume Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, which at that time still contained the playful word Cherie in the name, were so enthusiastic that European shoppers tried by hook or by crook to get this summer fruit water. In 2011, the brand reformulated the fragrance, adding rose and patchouli specifically for the European market. Thanks to the positive reviews of Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet, the fragrance has conquered the whole world. Three years later, in 2014, an updated version of the fragrance came out from the perfumer of the famous fashion house Francois Demachy, who framed the elegant rose with a luxurious peony, but removed the patchouli to make the fragrance more cheerful and light.
This talented perfumer had a hand in almost all the scents of the Dior house. Now perfume is produced in a concentration of "toilet water". Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet toilet water reviews often mention lightness, floral fragrance, spring freshness. It is suitable for any occasion and for any place, since it does not have a strong loop, which means that it will not strangle anyone around, and is not too persistent, so you can update or apply a different flavor. Buyers note that the best aroma is revealed in dry, cool weather. The composition of the composition includes Sicilian mandarin, pink peony, velvet rose, apricots and peaches based on white musk.
Top notes
The fragrance Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is an ode to spring, which comes into its own, with a spray of tangerine juice left over after the New Year. The Sicilian mandarin, declared in the upper notes, is almost inaudible throughout the whole composition, but it sets the very fresh tonality, which is then supported by a warm fragrant heart. Reviews don't say much about the âfruitinessâ of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet; few people feel the citrus accord, but it is nevertheless important as the opening note of a whole perfume. Mandarin as a citrus beginning was chosen by chance. According to the perfumer himself, the lemon would be too sour and spicy, and the orange brings bitterness to the aromas. Sparkling with sweetness and drunk with the Italian sun, the mandarin went perfectly to reflect the desired image. The fragrance itself is assigned to the floral group, but a light orange sweetness at the very beginning of the sound can still be caught.
Heart notes
Middle notes include pink peony, rose, apricot and peach. It is the duet of roses and peony that makes this fragrance a blooming bouquet, as the name says. The aroma of the May rose, which is grown in Grasse, can be found in almost all the women's fragrances from the Dior house. Pink peony adds to the noble rose playfulness, lightness and youth. Francois Demachy, who created the Blooming Bouquet formula, uses only exceptional quality ingredients. The fashion house maintains partnerships with various manufacturers of raw materials for perfumes, so Demashi can work with the best raw materials. According to reviews, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is a real bouquet of natural flowers, which, cooling on the skin, acquire the sweetness of fruit instead of the freshness of the petals. The choice of the tandem of apricot and peach to maintain a floral theme is not accidental. Both fruits have a pronounced, but not loud aroma, which, depending on the environment, can sound both sweet and fresh. Continuing the theme of the tangerine principle, apricot and citrus create a feeling of tenderness, freshness and youth. Not surprisingly, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet reviews recommend fragrance to brides.
Base notes
In perfumery, musk has been used since time immemorial. Its special ability to consolidate and enhance the aroma has made it a truly invaluable ingredient in many perfumes. Most often it is placed in the base to give the spirits a warmer, more intimate sound. It is customary to apply aromas with notes of musk to the âhot spotsâ of the body to enable the rare ingredient to reveal in all its fragrant beauty. In Miss Dior's Blooming Bouquet by Christian Dior, musk maintains its basic composition, preventing the light and cheerful aroma from evaporating instantly. At the same time, the concentration of musk is low, so it does not burden the toilet water, allowing its owner to feel crystal freshness.
Reviews
Most often in the description of the fragrance Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and reviews about it mention femininity. Owners of eau de toilette and those ladies who at least once tested this perfume say that it is light, versatile, fresh, clear, crystal and is suitable for all occasions. Most women agree that the creation of the âDiorâ house deservedly occupies a separate line in the list of already aromatic legends.
Reviews of Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet are full of epithets and comparisons: âalluring springâ, âsubtle sensualityâ, âflower tendernessâ, âairy lightnessâ. This is by no means unisex, and on a man it will sound at least strange. Nevertheless, reviews of men about Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet exist. Few describe it as âseductive,â but many men choose perfumes as a gift because they have no age limits, do not shock and do not test the hostess for strength. A light aroma not only seems romantic, but also has a hint of aristocracy. Men who smell this fragrance seem to be a young girl in a light summer dress with flowers. She is carefree and romantic, is fond of music and painting.
Women do not agree that this fragrance is suitable only for young girls. Many adult ladies who crossed the threshold of early adolescence wear this fragrance, believing that it "reduces" the years. Perhaps it was this effect that Francois Demachy strove for, creating his own flowering bouquet for Miss Dior.
However, there are no barrels of honey without a teaspoon of tar. Some customers are unhappy with the fragrance fragrance that lasts no more than two hours on clothes, and even less on the skin. There is an opinion that the price for such stability and an almost absent train is too high. In addition, in warm weather, the fragrance tends to exhibit more sweet fruity notes, losing its fresh charm.
Advertising campaign
The star of the film "Leon" and the owner of an Oscar for the lead role in the drama "Black Swan" Natalie Portman began to collaborate with the brand "Dior" back in 2010, when John Galliano was the art director of the fashion house. He persuaded the beautiful Natalie to become the face of the perfume of the world famous brand and for this even created a collection of vegan clothes. For several years and for several commercials Miss Dior - Portman. Unlike her predecessor, model Marina Lynchuk, who created the image of Miss Dior as a carefree girl floating in the clouds (which was worth a video with a girl flying away on balloons), Natalie turned to the sensual side of a woman.
With each video, the image deepened, and Miss Dior became more mature and wiser, ready for action, striving for love, but also for freedom. There are more than positive reviews about the new Christian Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet advertising campaign. The dresses of the actress were specially created by the Dior house for the video, which was shot by the famous Sofia Coppola, already having experience in creating gentle female images. The photo shoot for the advertising campaign, which took place in the most fashionable house, also helped to support the image of a tender but sensual woman who loves flowers and is ready to love and be loved.
For buyers
The Dior brand is quite widely represented in perfume stores - both network and small boutiques. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet in Letual, Ile de BeautĂŠ or Rive Gauche can be purchased in a concentration of âtoilet waterâ at a price of five thousand rubles. The official site offers rollerballs at a lower cost. On the Internet, you can find toilet water both cheaper and more expensive, but the buyer risks quality. Those who want to buy the âBlooming Bouquetâ should pay attention to the bottle itself and the name. Since all Miss Dior bottles are the same, itâs important to know how fragrance versions differ. In addition to the name, which is printed in small gold letters under the name of the ruler, âMiss Diorâ, âBlooming Bouquetâ is distinguished by the color of the liquid - it should be pink, in the latest issues saturated pink.
The gentle and cheerful fragrance Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet will be the perfect gift for any woman. Judging by the reviews, it is unobtrusive, pleasant to most people around and light.
