Dior Rouge Trafalgar: The Couture Fragrance 125 ml

A genuine couture fragrance, Rouge Trafalgar is a lively and fruity scent, a joyful composition celebrating the red designs that would suddenly light up Christian Dior’s haute couture fashion shows.

INSPIRATION
The Rouge Trafalgar fragrance follows the story of “Atout-Cœur”, the spectacular all-red dress created by Christian Dior for the 1955 Spring-Summer Haute Couture show. Like the fragrance, the effect of this red Dior dress was explosive and ravishing, stirring and disruptive: it was one of those “coups de Trafalgar” that the couturier liked to toss into the middle of a collection.
“It is the custom to call them the ‘Trafalgars.’ These dresses recapture the wandering attention of the audience an hour into the show,” as Christian Dior explained in his book Dior by Dior (1956).

WORDS FROM DIOR PERFUMER-CREATOR FRANÇOIS DEMACHY
“Rouge Trafalgar is a fragrance with the seductive signature of a delicate and mouthwatering Red Berry accord, to which I also added captivating unexpected notes like Black Currant and Grapefruit. It’s a vivifying trail that reflects the famous Dior red, an iconic colour of the House. A classic that has lost none of its shine.”
