Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
No separate top notes are listed. The composition opens directly on Grasse Rose, with the described honeyed sweetness and fruity and spicy facets. The green and vivid language suggests a rose that feels lifted rather than heavy, but the exact first thirty minutes are not independently verified.
The heart is the soliflore itself. Grasse Rose carries the composition, and the floral and citrus accords support the rose rather than competing with it. Dior's description of a real rose with honeyed sweetness, fruit, and spice is the most specific guide available. The Centifolia reference points to a lush, historically French rose character rather than a clean modern rose.
No base notes are listed, so the drydown cannot be mapped to a published pyramid. The available data supports only a rose-centered finish. Longevity, sillage, and projection are not verified for this 2026 limited release, and this review does not invent them.

Layering Ideas
- No official layering guidance from Dior; test with a neutral musk or light citrus only if desired.
- Avoid layering over strong oud or amber without sampling, as it may obscure the rose.
