Diorissimo by Christian Dior: created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1956.
Edmond Roudnitska, wanted to create a perfume that would be revolutionary and break the trend of sweet perfumes that were dominating the market. The goal was to simplify the formula and create a fragrance that’s simple and luminous. He dreamed of perfume similar to that of the lily of the valley that enveloped his senses when he was resting in his garden. Dior and Roudnitska met in 1955 and made their dream come true. In 1956, Diorissimo was created. The perfume was represented by an illustration by René Gruau. According to Christian Dior, Diorissimo is the perfume of his spirit, or, "the scented expression of his soul".

Original Fragrance Composition:
So what did it smell like? It is classified as a romantic floral fragrance for women. It starts with a delicate, fresh green top, followed by a delicate floral heart, resting on a floral base, encompassing all the moods of a fresh nosegay of lily of the valley. The bouquet is sprinkled with ambergris and wild civet so that its flowers take on a dreamlike magic. And yet, the high pitch of mock orange (syringa), hawthorn, white hyacinth and lilac, mixed with the greenness of grass and leaves in the rain, merges with the vertigo of privet and heliotrope.

- Middle notes: gardenia, hawthorn, heliotrope, white hyacinth, rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, amaryllis, boronia, ylang ylang, lilac, lily, rosemary
