We report the working expressions of calculation of local dielectric permittivity (ϵ(r)) under nanoconfinement from dipolar spatial correlations. Three confined geometries are investigated: planar, cylindrical and spherical interfaces. We apply these relations to the calculation of the local components of ϵ(r) of water confined in a porous silica framework. Microscopically we highlight that the dielectric profile is correlated to the density of water and hydrogen bonding network.
