SECOND EDITION
SPRING SUMMER 2026
The “Récoltes Majeures”, begun in 2025, are now an annual rendezvous at the House of Dior for a trio of exceptional perfumes created by Francis Kurkdjian, honoring Le Muguet (Lily of the valley), La Rose (Rose) and Le Jasmin (Jasmine). These regal blooms from the Château de La Colle Noire estate were Christian Dior’s favorite flowers, and while the compositions remain unchanged, the ornamental caps offer a source of inspiration to different craftspeople who reinvent these bouquet-bottles each year.
This second edition of the “Récoltes Majeures” highlights the absolutes from the 2025 harvests, reflecting a great vintage that becomes a signature year. Celebrations once again center on Lily of the valley heralding spring in May, Rose basking in the June sunshine, and Jasmine blossoming in September. This time, the floral caps of the three editions feature fine leather, uniting artist Marie Barthès’ strikingly modern designs with Dior couture savoir-faire.
“From the incredible Granville rose garden of his childhood to the verdant setting of Milly-la-Forêt and the glorious fields at La Colle Noire, nature, gardens and flowers encouraged creativity and provided inexhaustible sources of inspiration for Christian Dior.
I, in turn, wanted to capture the subtle and ephemeral aura of three of his favorite flowers—Lily of the valley, Rose and Jasmine—which served as true muses from his Normandy birthplace to his Provençal dream residence. This trio of iconic flowers reflects those that blossomed in the gardens of La Colle Noire, where he planted his ultimate garden with love and precision, to be the most beautiful and inspiring tribute to Mother Nature. It is a garden dedicated to slow time, where each season offers up its treasure.”

Leather sculptures designed by French artist Marie Barthès
Following the 2025 edition that highlighted expert embroidery, the caps of the three 2026 Récoltes Majeures amphoras celebrate a new, fine leather savoir-faire elevated by a sculptural design. Delicate and minimalist yet sensual, the ornamental caps of the three exceptional 2026 Récoltes Majeures bottles are crafted from exceedingly fine leather. Lily of the valley, Rose and Jasmine, the three favorite flowers, inspired designer Marie Barthès to create clean lines in soft colors.
