FRAGRANCE
Dior Gris Dior
A unisex EDP, Dior’s Gris Dior is an intense chypre fragrance that makes a strong, recognisable statement.

With floral and woody notes, it truly can be worn by anyone and everyone.
Trudon Terre a Terre Candle
Created in collaboration with Maitre Tseng, this unique Trudon candle—aptly named Earth to Earth—is at one with the soil.
