Dior has released over 1,000 fragrances since Miss Dior launched in 1947; Scendira currently stocks 85 of them. The house spans three clear territories: the Sauvage-led fresh masculine line (Dior's biggest commercial anchor), the J'adore-Miss Dior feminine florals, and the François Demachy iris-and-cedar Dior Homme collection that reshaped men's iris in the 2000s. Prices range from about $49 for travel formats to $525 for La Collection Privée exclusives. The five standout Dior fragrances currently on Scendira are Dior Homme Original (dry iris and vetiver, 2021 remix), Diorella Parfum (1972 mossy chypre), Dior Homme Intense 2011 and 2007 (powdery iris-vanilla-cedar), and Dior Homme Cologne 2013 (crisp bergamot-grapefruit blossom). Family-wise the stocked selection leans fresh and unisex on average, with iris and vetiver as recurring signatures on the masculine side.
