A display bottle created to promote Christian Dior’s Miss Dior Esprit de Parfum fragrance. These large-format pieces were intended for display cases, perfume shops, and retail locations, not for cosmetic use. It retains the bottle’s characteristic rectangular design, with a glass cap on top and the inscription “Miss Dior Esprit de Parfum / Christian Dior Paris” on the front.

Dummy bottles are part of a specialized field of collecting linked to the history of perfumery, advertising, and major fashion houses. Their appeal lies both in their decorative value and in their role as promotional materials, designed to capture attention in store windows and commercial spaces. Since these are display items, many were removed, replaced, or discarded after the campaigns ended, which lends special appeal to the surviving examples, especially when they come from iconic brands such as Christian Dior.
