Dune is a fragrance designed for women by Parfums Christian Dior, introduced in 1991. The scent was crafted by the perfumers Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Maurice Roger. It became the center of a legal dispute concerning intellectual property rights, which culminated in a case at the French Cour de cassation. The perfume honors Christian Dior's hometown, Granville, representing the harmony between the sea and the shore.
In 1997, Dior broadened the collection with a men's edition called Dune pour Homme, developed by perfumer Jean-Pierre Bethouart. This addition strengthened Dior's foothold in the fragrance industry by appealing to a male audience.
