If you were to time travel to Paris in February 1947, there would be one fragrance everyone talked about: Miss Dior Eau de Parfum. At the time, it was sunflower yellow (not the pink-with-a-cute-little-bow-on-top bottle we’ve come to know today), with an avant-garde chypre accord, a hint of jasmine, and a patchouli essence. Fast forward to 2024, and the iconic fragrance now has four iterations, solidifying its status as one of the best Dior perfumes. But, Miss Dior is only one of many exceptional options.

Over the years, the fashion house has enlisted famous noses like Francis Kurkdijian, François Demachy (you may know him from the documentary Nose), and Pual Vacher to craft its scents, with over 250 Dior fragrances and colognes to date.

There are deep and musky options for men, like Dior Sauvage, and feminine florals and fruity profiles in La Collection Privée. You can even smell like Rihanna with J’Adore L’Or (she's the newest face of the stories scent).

Narrowing down the ouds, citrus scents, and musky blends to just a few favorites for a stellar fragrance wardrobe isn’t easy. But after smelling and spraying over 15 Dior fragrances (the life of a beauty editor is rough, I know), I picked the seven best Dior perfumes that make it incredibly easy to smell... well, filthy rich. Shop my picks, ahead.
