From 1981: Dioressence
Created in 1969 by perfumer Guy Robert, this somewhat-rare perfume has top notes of violet and rosebud, a middle note of geranium, and bottom notes of cinnamon and patchouli. It was created during the "Oriental" fragrance boom.
I've smelled it; I like it. It's the kind of fragrance that might wear a woman, instead of the other way around. I already have one Big Fragrance like that that is one of my signatures: Fracas by Robert Piguet. I didn't feel the need to add another to my wardrobe.

From 1966: Another Beautiful Illustration By Rene Gruau For Christian Dior
I love this charming, feminine, slightly suggestive ad. So very French! I want to get some prints of his work and hang them throughout our house.
From 1967: Gorgeous Is Your Dior
Just a really lovely ad, I think.
You can close your eyes and imagine how happy that elegant woman is to receive a bountiful bouquet of trembling pink and white blossoms. Freesia, perhaps?
I believe it was illustrated by the legendary artist Rene Gruau,
who created all of Christian Dior's stunning fashion illustrations for decades.
