Inclusivity is not just a noble principle; it is the very heart of our excellence. In a world where our clients, talents, and ideas increasingly come from diverse backgrounds, our diversity is our strength.

At Parfums Christian Dior, this means being a House where everyone feels respected, welcomed, and valued, regardless of their uniqueness. Because we know well: a House that reflects this diversity is a sustainable, vibrant House, rooted in both dreams and reality. Inclusivity cannot be decreed; it is practiced daily. And thanks to our talents, we are making concrete progress: every day, we open our doors a little more to talents from diverse backgrounds - whether it be disability, cultural diversity, or gender.

Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies' style forever when its New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12, 1947. The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing touch designed to "leave a trail of desire in a woman's wake". This timeless perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines.

The current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director, and Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup – are the heirs to Christian Dior's perfectionism. The worldwide renown of the House's creations is partly down to its seductive muses, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Robert Pattinson.
