In 1947, Miss Dior was born out of an overwhelming drive, the imperious desire to re-enchant women's lives, to once again reveal to them the vibrant colors of love. After the dark times experienced at the time, the trail of this scent was for Christian Dior synonymous with happiness, poetry and rediscovered harmony. Miss Dior attracts, makes you vibrate and invites you to wake up to all the beauties of the world and of love.
A reflection of its inspiring character, the new Miss Dior fragrance is like an olfactory "millefiori". Centifolia rose, with mellow and spicy notes, forms a velvet heart of delicious unctuousness. Punctuated with notes of fresh lily-of-the-valley, a peony accord with an apricot note and lily notes for a powdery effect: Miss Dior is built around an enticing and elegant profusion, like a "millefiori" that looks contain a thousand flowers and a thousand colors. At the base, soft wood notes envelop the composition.

Blue fragrances don’t form a distinct fragrance family. Instead, the term blue fragrance describes a scent accord within a perfume or cologne. A blue scent is reminiscent of water, whether that be freshwater, seawater, or rainwater. This type of fragrance also tends to have an airy quality, which is an element that’s evocative of air, like a cool alpine breeze or a gust of salty ocean air.

Melograno (eau de cologne)
Firenze 1221 Edition
Santa Maria Novella
Soft amber
Melograno tells you an enchanting story, inspired by 800 years of tradition, just waiting to become your story.
A journey through the senses evoking the rare sensations of the magic Persia, a hymn to fertility and abundance.
Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’s Melograno fragrance is a bouquet of sweet floral oriental notes. The fragrance summons warm, welcoming sensations, an appropriate interpretation of the tree’s symbolic meaning. The pomegranate tree spread from Persia throughout the Mediterranean. It embellished many ancient Egyptian tombs. The pomegranate fruit symbolizes many things. It appears in the Song of Songs, in The Odyssey and in ancient folklore, emblematic of fertility and abundance.
The fragrance opens with fresh spicy and citrus notes. In the middle, rose and ylang ylang joins the red notes of pomegranate. On the base, patchouli, labdanum, and musk blend with deep notes of oakmoss.
Top notes: Bergamot, Bitter orange, Spices
Heart notes: Pomegranate, Rose, Ylang ylang
Base notes: Oak moss, Labdanum, Patchouli, Musk
