About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

A-55 Dior 2 (1976) is a chypre floral composed by Edmond Roudnitska, opening on aldehydes, lilac and jasmine. The aldehydes give a bright, slightly soapy lift before the lilac's powdery sweetness and jasmine's indolic weight settle in. The heart turns green and cool with narcissus and lily-of-the-valley, a crisp, springlike interlude that keeps the composition from becoming heavy. The base is classic chypre architecture: oak moss, woodsy notes and amber, dry and mossy with a warm resinous close.

Collectors will recognize Roudnitska's hand in the balance between the airy floral top and the grounded mossy base. The white floral accord dominates, but freshness and greenness run close behind, making this a wearable, structured scent rather than a sweet bouquet. It suits those who appreciate vintage chypres and green florals, and who want a lilac-forward composition with a mossy backbone. Best for daytime wear in spring, or for anyone building a collection around mid-century French perfumery.

中文簡介

A-55 Dior 2(1976)由 Edmond Roudnitska 調配,屬西普花香調。前調以醛、丁香與茉莉開場,醛帶來明亮微皂感,丁香粉甜與茉莉的濃郁隨後展開。中調轉為綠意清涼的水仙與鈴蘭,像春日般的清脆過渡,令整體不至於沉重。基調是典型西普結構:橡苔、木質與琥珀,乾爽苔感配上溫暖樹脂收尾。白色花香比重最高,但清新與綠意緊隨其後,適合喜歡復古西普與綠意花香、想找以丁香為主並帶苔木底蘊的收藏者。春日白天使用最為合宜。
