Celebrating Dior's floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight.

For Christian Dior, perfume was "a door opening into a hidden world." His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse--where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated--inspired Dior's most memorable creations.

Lily ★★★★★

I was a bit worried the book would be mostly text, but the large-scale Nick Knight photographs of roses are absolutely stunning and the real highlight. It's a beautiful tribute to the floral heart of the house, and the paper quality feels really luxurious.

Hannah X. ★★★★★

Nick Knight's rose portraits are the reason I keep this on the coffee table instead of the shelf — the detail in those close-ups is stunning. It moves between the floral fashion pieces and the perfume history without ever feeling like two separate books stitched together.

Miles V. ★★★★★

I expected a coffee table book and got something closer to a gallery visit. The Nick Knight rose portraits are printed so richly you can almost smell the petals, and the perfume history chapters gave me a new appreciation for how scent and couture overlap.
