“Vintage muscle car with leather seats — irreplaceable, slightly terrifying, deeply cool.”
The 1988 launch that broke the leather-violet category open — Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Maurice Roger and Michel Almairac's gasoline-petrol-tinged composition for Dior, a definitive 80s masculine. Lavender at the top, a violet heart, settling on a leather-vetiver drydown. A fall and winter evening fragrance.
The take
What works
- ●Iconic leather-violet-petrol combination that no one has replicated since
- ●The original polarizing masculine — love it or love it differently
- ●Wearable across casual and formal without modification
Trade-offs
