Visitors to the dramatic Dior Les Parfums podium will be instantly transported into the different worlds of Dior, with an opportunity to discover the exclusive La Collection Privée range, a collection of 12 authentic, elegant fragrance creations for men and women, using only selected, exceptional quality ingredients. Handcrafted in a traditional manner, these fragrances benefit from all of Dior’s know-how and expertise. Dior will also use this platform to showcase the worldwide launch of Feve Delicieuse, a new story among the Collection Privée.
