Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me... I saw few youtube reveals/reviews on Diorama medium in powder pink. I fell in love it and I wanted to get it but of course there is no Dior boutiques in CT:( I wanted the medium pink, almost mauve colored pink Diorama and from the reviews, it seems the color is called "powder pink" as opposed to "rose poudre". I've tried contacting Dior online customer and sent a photo of the bag from the instagram but no response afterwards...so I decided to call Dior in Bellagio and was told by the SA that "pink powder" and "rose poudre" is the same bag and that in French rose poudre is pink powder. I purchased it and waiting for delivery but why do I feel like I'm getting the wrong shade???I'm hoping it's the shade that I'm looking for since this is my first Dior purchase and I wouldn't even know how to go about doing a return:( I'm going to attach a photo that SA sent me, she said it's just the lighting...

Wow, I'm surprised that an SA wouldn't know the proper colour names! The colour you want is Powder Pink, the colour in that photo is Rose Poudre. I'm sorry, it sounds like you are getting the wrong colour....I hope not though, that would be very disappointing!

I've call another Dior boutique to confirm, the SA told me it's either rose poudre or blush pink. So I said I'm looking for the bag that has a mauve undertone with champagne gold HW, she told me she had it but once she looked at my purchase history, she said I bought the same exact bag yesterday. When I stated that I've seen the photo of the pink powder diorama in medium on someone's instagram, I overheard the two SA's saying that I must have seen it from oversea's instagram or someone who purchased it from overseas! The person lives in US, smh. I'm now so perplexed by the whole color scheme of the bag, I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope the bag is the one with the mauve undertone instead of the pale pink....or I'll be so disappointed.

I don't think the SA got the names wrong. Rose Poudre and Powder Pink are the same (just translations of one another). I think there are two different versions of Rose Poudre (Powder Pink). In the older Raf Simons bags, Rose Poudre is very light neutral pink. In the newer Maria Grazia Chiuri designs, Rose Poudre is more mauve-coloured.

Here are two Dioramas, both in Rose Poudre:
Dior Diorama powder pink studded lambskin M0422CNOE_M40P_V0_Z.jpg Dior Diorama Rose Poudre grained calfskin M0422PVRG_M413_V0_Z.jpg

And then there's the more mauve (and darker) version called Old Rose which can look similar to Rose Poudre depending on the lighting.

@Raindropz412 you're getting a Rose Poudre Diorama. It's not the wrong colour, unless you wanted a darker colour which is called Old Rose. Just wait to receive it, and if you don't like it, then send it back and request the Old Rose. Or have the SA take a picture of both Rose Poudre and Old Rose next to each other (and any other similar colours), and pick the one you like the most.

If yours is in the new supple grained calfskin (it looks like it is because the lock is not lacquered, but I can't tell if it's lambskin or grained calfskin from the photo), then it should be the more mauve one. It may only appear pale pink due to lighting.

I've included @Juliahnguyen 's pictures of the pale pink version of Rose Poudre. As you can see from both pictures, it looks a lot more pale than the Diorama in your picture. I think you got the mauve Rose Poudre that you want.

Thanks! I think I've seen photos of the Old Rose, doesn't it look more towards cognac? I'll have to google it...

They are definitely two separate colours - Rose Poudre and Powder Pink. I found it odd too, but I confirmed this with my SA when I was deciding which Diorama to get. I was deciding between the old and new Rose Poudre - both are light pink, one in grained calfskin and one in supple grained calfskin. The more mauve colour is called Powder Pink, it is the colour of my Lady Dior and it also came in the Diorama but it sold out. Very confusing, but they are definitely two separate colours.

ETA: I saw both Rose Poudre bags in person when I was deciding which to buy and they were both a light pink, not mauve at all. The tag says Rose Poudre - the tag for my LD said Powder Pink.

I can confirm that rose poudre and powder pink are the same color dior has been using for years. Powder pink is just the literal traduction of rose poudré (check on google traduction). It might look different on à my lady dior because of the Lambskin and cannage quilted which gives a different shade and finish to the color.
You can check the color code, it's actually the same : M413
