The introduction of Maison Christian Dior begins with a single whiff, and the emotion of a memory.
We’re seated in a gorgeous living room in the sky, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows with a panoramic view of the city, sunshine streaming in. Tastefully decorated with framed vintage photography of Dior Bar Suits by Patrick Demarchelier above an all-white fireplace, grey stone walls, chic modern furnishings, Dior archive books leaning casually against one another, beautifully accented with fresh flowers and lush greenery, for a second, it feels like I’m in a quintessential Haussmann apartment in Paris. Surrounded by beautiful scents and engrossed in conversation with wonderful company in an evening of good food and wines, I almost forget that I’m actually at Singapore’s Salt Grill & Sky Bar, a recipient of a temporary makeover representing the French art de vivre, and the heritage of Christian Dior himself.
“You must always take risks if you want to keep a woman,” I check my phone to make sure that the words being uttered by Monsieur François Demachy, perfumer-creator of Parfums Christian Dior, was recorded. I make a mental note to replay said line to future girlfriends—and significant others—when dispensing invaluable relationship advice. “You have to also take your time when picking a fragrance (for a partner), and try not to be too influenced by all the different offerings François Demachy, available. If you really love perfumer-creator of that someone, it’s very hard to Parfums Christian Dior get it wrong.”
