This is the same fragrance as the original or “vintage” released back in 2015.
The only difference is the colour of the juice inside. First version is slightly darker. The smell is the same, so are both longevity and projection.
Wondering about the notes breakdown though – I never care about them however here we have a whole bunch of notes listed there…
Longevity is up to 15-16 hours, it’s quite potent so either one big spray on the front of the neck or two smaller on my wrists (then rubbed on both sides on the neck) are more then enough.
I came to the conclusion that I love it. Tonka Imperiale is a pretty and complex beast as well but there are way too much cherry aromas out there for me (which instantly reminds me of La Petite Robe Noire and L’Homme Ideal).

I have this 2018 “reformulation” and the original 2015 release.
They are EXACTLY the same.
When this was originally released in 2015 Dior’s website and perfumer listed how this fragrance was made with only 3 notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Tonka Bean Absolute, and Madagascar Vanilla. Dior then updated its website and listed in the description of the fragrance, and that it gave off facets of praline, caramel, chocolate, fruit, etc.
All of the press release information listed the 3 notes, and then elaborated on the various accords that are picked up in this composition due to the many different facets of the Tonka Bean. (I probably should start screen shot websites, because people truly have their own version of reality)
With this release in 2018, Dior only lists Tonka as the one and only note in the fragrance created by François Demachy.
However, to me, side by side on each arm, this 2018 release is no different than the original 2015 version.
I can only conclude that this perfume still has the same 3 note composition: Calabrian Bergamot, Tonka Bean Absolute, and Madagascar Vanilla.
read JaneBluff review below.
This is a gorgeous gourmand scent that encompasses many aspects of the Tonka Bean –as it develops you get various accords that make this scent simply masterful and delicious.

I received it as a gift today !
its ofc not tonka bean only it’s the same notes as the old fourmla ..
and OMG THIS IS HEAVEN !
To be honest it got me shocked at the first spray .. not because it’s bad however because I felt it’s more masculine than feminine
and of course I wanted to be more of the feminine side to be able to wear it however after the drydown I found out it became more sweeter and more mess appealing for both sex
so I love it so much so so much it’s really nice and mass appealing for both sex after drying down and if you are a guy or a man it will have you amazed from the first spray . but if you are a woman you might be a little bit shocked because of the masculinity opening .
after all it’s 9.5 out of 10 for me

The Dior website lists 3 notes: bergamot, tonka, and vanilla. Tonka has different facets to it that make the bean unique. It has a chameleon like quality in the way it transforms. Depending on how it’s used, it can add a vanillic, chocolate, carmalized, almond, cherry, or spicy aspect to whatever it’s used in. This perfume is all about showcasing the many sides of tonka. So with just three simple notes it’s able to transform itself into something fully rounded and slightly complex. This is very well done and quickly becoming a love for me. Though i’m not too fond of the masculine, green edge the bergamot displays upon first applying.

colobama, did you receive your order? What is your openion about new version of Feve Delicieuse? I like first version from 2015 and I would like to buy a bottle, but if Dior made a reformulation I prefer first to test it and to compare with my sample from 2016.
MirsoftaMaks – :
Yes reformulated 100%

Demachy is releasing several new scents for the prive line – due out around March – I received this information from a Dior Boutique Manager here in Dallas.
She was give this info by Francois himself. A few of the current scents will remain in the lineup – Ambre Nuit, Feve Delicieuse and a few others…but they are being reformulated.
