Each fragrance reflects a passion or a specific moment in the life of a couturier who died too early, and the Grand Bal, presented in 2012 with Ispahan oud, is no exception. Lush and luminous flowers, citrus and hedione come together at this Grand Ball to make the most beautiful Dior dresses shine with their splendor…
Grand Bal or a floral and fragrant dress signed by François Demachy for Dior
With the Private Collection, François Demachy offers himself a fragrant holiday where budget and commercial criteria are not an issue, allowing him to immediately unleash his creativity and love for beautiful materials. Launched in the same year as Oud Ispahan, Grand Bal is one of those fragrances in which Dior and its designated perfumer sought only brilliance and beautiful materials to create a scent worthy of the great couturier of the late.
Christian Dior loved nothing more than grand balls and joyful evenings, where women dressed in their most beautiful dresses and most beautiful jewelry to enjoy the warm and often summery atmosphere. To pay tribute to the love of grand celebrations, François Demachy created Grand Bal with accords illuminated by the sun, flowers and joy. He also did not forget to add the most expensive and luxurious perfume raw materials to this exceptional fragrance, to pay tribute to the excesses of these worldly events.
"The Grand Bal is an echo of Christian Dior's magnificent ball gowns, the scale and beauty of which resemble the blossoming petals of a flower." François Demachy.
Grasse jasmine emerges as the star of this Grand Bal fragrance…
Of course, Grand Bal is luxurious, “excessively” excessive, like Christian Dior’s floral and magnificent ball gowns. But Grand Bal is not only an object of luxurious desire, it is also a fragrance created around a flower so dear to François Demachy, of course, Grasse jasmine. A flower that is also often the multifaceted star of Dior perfumes, both in the old creations Miss Dior or Diorissimo, and in new bestsellers such as J’adore.
"I like to smell perfumes on the spot, in their original environment. Jasmine in Grasse, to which I pay homage at the Grand Ball." François Demachy for my relaxation.
Thus, Grand Bal opens with sublime jasmine from Grasse, complemented by fresh bergamot and powerful exotic orange blossom. In the heart, the very sunny and luxurious ylang-ylang flower from Mayotte combines its elegance and originality with velvety peach and the freshness of hedione. Finally, notes of New Caledonian sandalwood combined with cottony white musks create a fiery trail in Grand Bal, but as comfortable as the rays of the summer sun...
