🪞 The Grey Signature

Gris Montaigne is Dior’s tribute to its iconic couture shade — the elegant, mysterious grey that defined Christian Dior’s fashion house. In olfaction, grey becomes chypre: earthy, floral, and quietly provocative.

The GC-MS analysis reveals a sophisticated chypre structure built around Patchouli Oil Light (120) and Oakmoss Absolute, softened by Iso E Super, Helvetolide, and Habanolide for a radiant, musky diffusion.

The opening is crisp and citrusy, with Bergamot Oil, Mandarin Oil Green, and Pink Pepper, lifted by Florol and Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate for a green floral nuance. The heart blends Methyl Dihydro Jasmonate, Phenyl Hexanol, and Helional, evoking rose and jasmine sambac.

The drydown is elegant and woody, with Bois Ambrene Forte, Ambroxan, and Cedarwood Oils, wrapped in a soft veil of Muscenone Delta and Exaltolide. It’s a fragrance that feels tailored, timeless, and unmistakably Dior.
