Dune is a perfume for women by Parfums Christian Dior, introduced in 1991.[1] It was created by perfumers Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Maurice Roger.[2] Some controversy about the perfume ensued when another perfumer claimed that she was the owner of the intellectual property of the fragrance, a matter that came to trial at the French Cour de cassation.[2] Dune is described as an homage to Christian Dior's birthplace Granville, "where sea meets land".[3]

Dior released a spin-off fragrance for men, "Dune pour Homme", in 1997.[4] It was created by perfumer Jean-Pierre Bethouart.[5]
