The Critical Shift: 30 Ave vs 33 Ave

Decode a batch code

Vintage and modern Dior formats behave differently. Use the packaging clues as the deciding gate.

Gate A: The Address

• 30 Avenue Hoche: Pre-1991 (Vintage).
• 33 Avenue Hoche: Post-1991 (Modern).
• 1991 is a mixed / transitional year.

Gate B: Secondary clues

• 3-character code: Strongly suggests pre-1990.
• 5-character code: Typically pre-1998.
• No barcode: Often pre-1991.
• Green dot: Often post-1992.
