Grand Bal

Grand Bal by Dior, launched in 2012 and composed by François Demac, is a white floral bouquet built on jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom. The top note list includes bergamot, musk, and sandalwood alongside those florals, so the opening is bright, creamy, and softly woody rather than sharp or green. With no separate heart or base notes listed, the composition reads as a continuous floral accord: indolic jasmine and banana-tinged ylang dominate, while musk and sandalwood give a smooth, skin-like finish. The main accords—white floral at 100%, yellow floral at 58%, sweet and citrus at 53%, woody at 52%, musky at 46%—describe a lush, rounded scent with a gentle citrus lift and a warm, woody trail. It suits collectors who enjoy classic white florals with a musky base, and works well for evening wear or formal occasions in cool weather. Those who prefer airy, minimalist florals may find it dense; fans of rich, sweetened jasmine will appreciate its vintage-leaning character.

Dior Grand Bal 於 2012 年推出，由 François Demac 調配，屬花香木質麝香調。香調表以茉莉、依蘭依蘭、橙花為核心，前調另列佛手柑、麝香與檀香，因此開場是明亮、乳霜感的白花，帶柔和木質，而非尖銳綠意。由於未分中調與基調，整體可視為一氣呵成的花香：吲哚茉莉與帶香蕉感的依蘭主導，麝香與檀香收尾，貼膚順滑。主要香調比例為白花 100%、黃花 58%、甜 53%、柑橘 53%、木質 52%、麝香 46%，呈現豐潤圓融、微甜帶柑橘、尾韻溫暖木質的氣味。適合喜歡經典白花與麝香基調的收藏家，秋冬晚宴或正式場合尤佳；偏愛輕透極簡花香者或覺濃郁，鍾情濃甜茉莉者則會欣賞其復古氣質。
