"Admirers of Dior perfumes, and that includes me, will almost inevitably be pleased with the newest, just added to the collection. Name: Diorling. Personality: contradictory — inviting and innocent at the selfsame time. Specific floral accent: none ..."
Dun's Review and Modern Industry, 1964:
"Thus, in the fantasy world of fragrance, Christian Dior Perfumes Corp. offers its "Diorling" for the girl who has everything— or at least $175 for two ounces of the stuff— in a striking and costly Baccarat crystal bottle."
"Graceful urn of Diorling is contemporary in concept, $40*. Christian Dior."
"Christian Dior has just introduced a complete aerosol perfume collection. In addition to the purse-size atomizer (at $5), you can now color-select your favorite in three sizes — Miss Dior in white package, Diorama in grey, Diorissimo in pink, and Diorling in yellow. They tell me that there is absolutely no change in the formula."

Diorling is a leathery chypre full of spirit, just the way Christian Dior liked perfumes to be. A fragrance with British overtones, a composition with attitude, and the ideal accomplice for all-conquering femininity.
