Christian Dior: The Spirit of Perfumes - Paperback

by Christian Dior (Artist), Olivier Quiquempois (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Grègory Couderc (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

This volume showcases the perfumes of Christian Dior against the backdrop of his life--the Belle Epoque of his youth, the "Roaring Twenties" of his young adulthood and the postwar period of his success as a fashion designer and perfumer. From 1946, before his first collection had even been debuted, Dior was interested in perfume, launching the iconic Miss Dior fragrance (along with the perfumer Paul Vacher) in 1947, and later gaining great success with fragrances such as Diorissimo, Eau Sauvage, Poison and J'Adore.
