Dorin Paris
Dorin Paris is the heritage French perfume house whose origins trace to 1780 and a royal warrant from Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI, with the Dorin name itself adopted in 1819 when Jean-Marie Dorin acquired the Paris maison. Modern revival came in 1998 under Bashar and Imane Nasri, with a private museum in Chatou holding close to eight hundred archive items.
Versailles 1780 for the contemporary flagship, La Tour Dorin for the woody-floral-amber Eiffel Tower tribute, Un Air d'Arabie Oud for the accessible woody-oriental. Six to eight hours, moderate sillage. Held at the Khrisha Melbourne floor with decant samples.
