La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Granville
by Dior
La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Granville is a refined, herbaceous woody scent that evokes the serene coastal air of Normandy. It opens with a sharp, effervescent burst of lemon, rosemary, thyme, and pine, creating a crisp and清新 atmosphere. As it develops, the fragrance transitions into a deeper, more balanced character with subtle peppery spice, dry sandalwood, and a resinous green depth that remains vibrant despite its simplicity. The overall evolution is smooth and linear, with a fresh, green, and slightly medicinal character that feels both outdoorsy and intellectual in tone. Unlike many citrus scents that lean sweet or sugary, Granville maintains a dry, aromatic clarity. Performance is modest yet consistent—lasting a moderate duration with moderate sillage, making it suitable for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer. It stands out as a genuine aromatic green fragrance that offers an understated, nature-inspired signature, leaning masculine but comfortably wearable by all genders. The perfume feels authentic, layered, and evocative, more of an experience than a typical fragrance.
