Creation history
The first Miss Dior was created in 1947, together with the legendary “New Look” collection. It was composed by master perfumers Paul Vacher and Jean Carles. The fragrance was dedicated to Christian Dior’s sister — Catherine Dior, a woman of remarkable strength and resilience. The original Miss Dior symbolised a new beginning after the war — confident, elegant, and bold.
