  I picked this up because of its resemblance to Miss Dior, particularly that pineapple note. If it smells of pineapple, it’s a sweet one blended with raspberry and rose; the notes are well-mixed for an EDT. It lasts quite well, with a soft sillage that is its best feature. Being linear, the pineapple remains present until it becomes slightly powdery fruit thanks to the rose. It’s a unique scent, distinct, neither synthetic nor cloying, but rather a harmonious blend of fruity and floral. It reminds me of Miss Dior 2017 and CK Escape. I recommend it to those seeking fruit notes; the bottle is very retro with a vintage touch. Performance is around six hours, and on the skin it feels like a fruity talc, ideal for enjoying on your own. It’s a pity I didn’t test it in a perfumeria upon release, as this batch is old; perfumes do have an expiry date. The plastic had turned yellowish, yet I paid $23 for a well-packaged vintage perfume. It has been discontinued by Dior, who acquired Jean Patou’s perfumery.
