“Miss Dior at midnight — blackberry jam, jasmine, and old oak.”
Francis Kurkdjian's 2025 release for Dior — a fruity-woody Miss Dior flanker with blackberry and black elder opening over a jasmine sambac heart and an oak base. A clear departure from the powdery-rose direction of the main Miss Dior line. Wears strongest in fall and winter, day-to-night.
The take
What works
- ●Kurkdjian's jammy blackberry over jasmine is denser and moodier than every other Miss Dior flanker
- ●Oak base gives it actual structure — not the usual feathery Miss Dior drift
- ●Reads luxe without trying for the millennial-pink-sweet trend
Trade-offs
- ●Sweetness divides — fans of the original Miss Dior EDP may find this overripe
- ●Premium pricing for what is, structurally, a flanker
