Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
An absolute classic for women over 40, with a beautiful composition. I already have a miniature tucked away in my collection.
I own two vials of this celestial scent: super sensual, refined, and exquisite. It lasts for hours, and the dry-down on the skin is divine, evoking class and that monarchical touch of the great Dior house. Pure beauty.
I gifted it to my wife shortly after we married; it was offered at a great bargain and the moment I smelled it, I loved it. It’s very potent, like perfumes from its era; it could even be worn by a man as a modern woody fragrance. It boasts rich mossy and woody notes with an exquisite floral touch. My wife didn’t take to it as much, perhaps because she found it too strong (since then I’ve become more observant of her tastes, and everything I’ve gifted her since has been a hit). It probably suits women over 45 today, or those who appreciate the old school. I haven’t seen it again, but I certainly enjoyed its aroma.
