Dior launched a new fragrance as part of the exclusive collection La Collection Privée. The new scent is centered on Venezuelan tonka beans, named Fève Délicieuse. It comes out in May 2015.

The perfume was created by in-house perfumer Francois Demachy as a sophisticated oriental – gourmand harmony. Tonka bean smells like a mixture between caramel, almonds and cut hay, milky sweet, but also bitter. The composition includes notes of tonka bean, vanilla, caramel, cocoa, pralines and woody accords.

The fragrance is available in bottles of 120, 250 and 450 ml Eau de Parfum

“Purple Oud expresses an Amber dream as depicted in a vivid, warm painting. It’s a sparkling oud that sees powerful wood combine with lively notes. Orange blends with fresh spices such as Pink Peppercorn and Saffron. This shimmering oud will seduce those who like the animal strength of this heady wood, albeit a polished, brightened version that plays out in the background.” – FRANÇOIS DEMACHY, Dior Perfumer-Creator.

“Purple Oud is the expression of a dream Orient, a painting done in bright, warm colours. It is a sparkling oud that teams the strength of wood with lively notes. Orange intertwines with fresh spices such as Pink Pepper and a Saffron note. This sparkling oud will appeal to those who love the animal force of the heady wood that is set as a backdrop in a version with a brightened, polished quality.”
