In 2006, Dior launched “L’Or de Vie”, its most exclusive skincare collection, incorporating the uniqueness of the legendary Château d’Yquem vineyard.
In 2022, glassmaking artist and sculptor Xavier Le Normand elevates this unique meeting with the extraordinary Métiers d’Art Edition L’Or de Vie La Crème, a tribute to French luxury and virtuosity. In addition, to complete this extraordinary collection, Dior has concentrated the precious active ingredients of Vintage 2021 in the new Le Céremonial treatment, an intensive resurfacing ritual available in limited quantities, and revisited the formulas of Le Sérum and La Lotion with an increased percentage of natural ingredients.
For its cosmetic masterpieces, Dior has chosen precious sap from the vines of Château d’Yquem. The active ingredients from the depths of the Yquem soil reveal their potential with the help of the science of the Dior laboratory and the art of formulation. In Golden Drop Longevity Technology, this sap is blended with the “noble ferment” of the grape, an extract of grey grape spores. Three additional Yquem extracts complete the benefits of L’Or de Vie: Yquem wax extract, grape pomace water extract and grape pomace oil extract. Together, these five ingredients give L’Or de Vie its exceptional efficacy in prolonging the life of the skin.
The Métiers d’Art 2022 edition of L’Or de Vie La Crème is a stunning masterpiece that celebrates heritage, legacy and virtuosity. By choosing Xavier Le Normand to reinterpret his unique cream, Dior pays tribute to the art of glassmaking. The glass artist and sculptor conceived a jewel derived from the alchemy of fire and water, inspired by the beauty of the vineyards of Chateau d’Yquem. For this jewel-like jar, entirely handmade, the blown glass is polished and set with 1,500 individually engraved points. Recreating the mastery of the goldsmith, each carefully painted dot evokes the essence of a bunch of grapes. This work of art is produced in an ultra-exclusive limited series of 130 numbered pieces.
For the 2021 vintage, Dior has reinvented the exclusive ritual L’Or de Vie Le Cérémonial. sealed in individual bottles, three formulas prepare, transform and optimize the skin during a month-long treatment. In an elegant box, three vials, like three drops of gold, are stamped with the Ancestral Yquem Crown. L’Or de Vie Le Cérémonial is the ultimate combination of history and terroir, science and luxury, fused together like a Yquem Grand Cru, producing a series of 3,430 vintages.
Dior has also revisited two icons in a more natural version. L’Or de Vie Le Sérum, Dior’s elixir of immortality, now features a formula composed of 89% natural ingredients. l’Or de Vie La Lotion has been redesigned with an ecological formula containing over 98% natural ingredients.
