Celebrating the rich history behind Dior J’adore, Matière Noire teamed with Bureau Betak to host the fragrance’s expansive retrospective at the Beaux Arts Academy of Paris. Obscured hallways with complex top-light systems lead to a succession of rooms that detail the layers of the perfume’s roots and creation. A bespoke laboratory with soft-box like lighting, a regal alcove with the gold-plated ripples iconised by the perfume’s ad campaign, a flower hall and fashion gallery with warm golden lighting create a genealogy of craftsmanship that is at the heart of the Dior House’s masterful and eclectic savoir-faire.
