Description
The house of Dior has rightfully held one of the first places in the world of perfumes for years. Dior’s collection Les Creations de Monsieur Dior introduced in 2009 represents a review of vintage editions. The collection includes 5 perfumes – 5 classic fragrances favorized by many women worldwide.
Diorella, Dioressence, Diorissimo, Eau Fraiche Forever and Ever make the five fragrances of the Les Creations de Monsieur Dior collection, presented as timeless opus of Dior which resists time and new trends.
What is worth your attention is triple accent on the legendary Diorissimo which arrives in three different strengths this year: 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, 50 ml Eau de Parfum and 15 ml Extrait de Parfum.
A floral bouquet with accentuated lily of the valley decorates the romantic Diorissimo from 1955 created by Edmond Roudnitska. Top notes include sweet, exotic ylang-ylang, a heart is enriched with lily of the valley, while a base features jasmine as the key note of the whole composition.
Floral choir appears as a companion which includes lilac, lily, amarilis, boronia, rosemary; freshness starts with bergamot and green notes, while sandalwood and civet make the whole composition very sensual.
This was created as rebellion against the trend of sweet and intense fragrances with an intention to bring a romantic blend of green and fresh elements in perfect harmony with fine and clear floral notes.
This collection offers the fragrance in three strengths: EDT, EDP and perfume extract. The three editions will thrill all fans of Dior’s classic.
Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo Eau de Toilette has the same composition as perfume extract, but it’s airier and has less intensity. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100ml EDT.

I just received my bottle that was manufactured in March of 2018 and I am heartbroken. This is dry, synthetically green, linear and completely devoid of the effervescent bright citrus and dewy sweet floralcy that made me fall in love with my decant (manufactured September 2017). This smells like a dated, cheap chypre and is completely unrecognisable as the classic beauty I became enchanted with. SHAME ON YOU, DIOR!

I can’t believe how pretty this is! It’s just TOO PRETTY! Every single time I try it I can’t help but verbally express my pleasure. Strong lily of the valley scent. I love it so much. Clean, flowery, pure, elegant. A dream! Truly the perfume for a princess!

Spring in a bottle. Lily of the valley, and yellow are the things which come to mind when I sniff this. This is so pretty.

From “Les Creations de Monsieur Dior” Diorissimo is the only perfume issued in extrait de pafrum, edp and edt. Even though I’m sure they all share the same dna and must be interchangeable for the majority, I’m determined to meet all three. For starters I got lucky with a forgotten edt almost hidden in my local Sephora.
Well, well…for a solifloral edt the lasting power is very good;I got five hours out of it with an okay projection. As for the scent itself: it’s beautiful. Crystalline, green, musky and sensual. Luxurious, sparkling amd classy. Feminine and soapy. Festive and happy, but not completely revealing, that’s what I mostly like in it, besides the white floral factor, Diorissimo has just the necessary touch of mystery. I can’t get enough of the scent, it is linear that is true, but it’s pure lily of the valley. Straight up lily of the valley.
It’s all ages appropriate, all time appropriate, I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t like this scent on a wearer.

I have never smelled the original Diorissimo, and I’ve heard this one is a bit diluted and not as deep, but this is still a very nice dewy fresh, soapy, green elegant spring floral.

Lovely true floral scent. Classic, light, incredibly elegant lily of the valley. Delicate, yet has a surprisingly strong presence and effect on others, usually drawing positive comments.

diorissimo edt
ill start by saying that the juice in the bottle was the darker colour like the edp in the images on here… but the bottle did state edt.
heavy on the lily of the valley – which is like a white floral with creamy/rounded slightly wet flower-ness.
creamy
aqua/wateryness
velvety
deep fresh
bloomy
this is very floral and rounded fresh. its near the same (kind of i guess) as michael kors, he makes a couply – the jasmine glam one goes bitter just at the end, this dior doesnt, its more wet than the MK sorts.
–just a thought the modern muse one has a similar wetness i suppose.
all in all i quite like this, i dont have many fragrances of this type. it almost could be mature, but in a way its not, its lively, smooth, and relaxed.

I couldn’t wait to get this out today. It seems to be an early spring day. This is perfection. It’s a perfect lily of the valley. It’s a perfect dewy tender flower brought out of the shade into the early morning sun. I pick them every year. Huge bouquets sit in my home. This may be even better than the real flowers. To me, this is perfume. Flowers…the original perfume for women. God created and perfumed the flowers. What can be more pretty? Lily of the valley is not my favorite flower to be sure. But this is perfect. It’s royalty. I bow to the princess…

A delicate masterpiece! Its beauty fills my heart with love.

The most lovely and classy scent ever! My big Love!

I bought this today in EDT. The EDP was too much and though the descriptions says they only differ in concentration I find the EDP has a note that I don’t like. It smells expensive, luxurious, lady like. Longevity is great and the dry down fantastic. Can be overwhelming, but that’s the way I like ’em :D.
It smells just like I remember the EDT my mum had in the 90’s. BIG BIG BIG flowers. Lilly of the valley was a symbol of luck for CD but the essence can’t be extracted from the flowers themself, this is amazing work done by the perfumer.
To me this always smelled like the lilacs we had in the garden. I later found out lilly of the valley and lilacs smell very much the same the latter having a stronger green note… in any case, diorissimo is to me like receiving an enormous bouquet of lilacs.

Baru beli parfum ini beberapa hari yg lalu.
Sebelumnya pernah mencoba tester di toko sephora…and langsung jatuh hati…tapi ga bisa langsung membeli karena harganya yg cukup WOW…
Sempat terbayang2 dan dilema mau dibeli apa tidak yah…
tetapi akhirnya saya beli.
Tetapi sampai dirumah ternyata wanginya tidak seindah saat di toko yah…kalau disemprot beberapa kali wanginya berubah agak sedikit kesan old…
and ditambah wanginya ga tahan lama 🙁
Tetapi secara keseluruhan wanginya lumayan enak…
For the first time I smell this parfume…i fall in love with it. And after I buy it i kind of dissapointed because there some kind of old smell and weak…but i still like it after all…

L’esempio perfetto di quando la vera classe si esprima con la semplicità.
Diorissimo, mi porta inevitabilmente agli anni ’50, alla rinascita, al dopoguerra, al ritorno della primavera dopo periodi oscuri…
Una passeggiata in un giardino pieno e colmo di vitalità, gioia, e speranza.
Unico, vero capolavoro.

I am a huge lily and lilac fan – especially lilac. I have been on the hunt for a perfume with strong lilac notes that is actually wearable. I agonised over buying Aerin Lilac Path but ultimately decided it was WAY too strong and overbearing. It was a lovely smell but I didn’t want to smell of it, so it was a no for me. Diorissimo, on the other hand, is beautiful. It’s strong but it’s not one-note like the Aerin perfume is. I can definitely smell the lilac but it’s balanced out by the other notes. I’ve had a sample of this beside my bed for the last week and finally took the plunge and bought it. This perfume makes me happy – and isn’t that the ultimate test of a perfume?
Highly recommend if you love florals.

I have the recent edt version of diorissimo. Its simply a lily of the valley bomb with a background of subdued spring-evoking flowers. I tried the edp at the counter and its round and almost plush, the edt i got is very sharp, more green and indolic. The first blast is almost cologne-like lily of the valley. Very vintage spring time indeed.
scent: 7/10
longevity: 4/10
sillage: 4/10

I smelled Diorissimo a couple years back in Europe, and the bottle looked like the older one, so I’m not sure if it’s just been rebottled or if this is a reformulation, but if it’s a reformulation, I say good job! It smells just how I remembered it-the most delicious spring scent ever. I’m not usually one for pure florals, but there are a few notable exceptions, and this is one of them. I mean, I don’t even really like the smell of lily of the valley, but it’s amazing here and I can’t get enough. It’s such a joyful fragrance, it’s hard to wear it and not be happy. It’s not listed, but I smell a bit of musk or something creamy (maybe the ylang?) that keeps the muguet and jasmine from getting sharp and screechy, as they often can. I should also mention that this has killer lasting power on me, 12 hours+ Really shocking considering it’s a modern Dior, and most of those tend to not have the best lasting power on my skin. Definitely full bottle worthy.

Light and fresh but sweet flowery as well. It smells simple and expensive at once.

Just scored a 1 oz unopened vintage EDT…and it is GORGEOUS. My husband walked into the room after the first spray and said “that’s the one!” So glad I read the recommendations on buyng vintage as opposed to the newer version.
Игорь1991111 – :
This is just a shadow of the classic; lacks depth and it smells just Lily of the valley, nothing else. Why Dior has to ruin all the good perfumes?
borter – :
I’m in love with this perfume ! It smells GREAT and it’s such a nice summer/spring scent. Reminds me of fresh flower in the garden. & On me the sillage seems very good !
qyu624Negeltzex – :
Okay, how could I be honest with this.
The EDT is nothing much than any other lily-of-the valley scent. You could have other far better l.o.t.v. scent of other brands.
Yes, the note is quite accurate, as you could smell lily of the valley right away. Very strong and offensive in the beginning, (due to the strong alcohol smell) but after few seconds, it starts to mellow down to lily-jasmine scent, and the saddest part, it’ll soon fade away leaving you to wonder, where’s the sweet, dewy scent of ylang ylang?…
Not a faithful creation of the original… sad
cozmicvasile – :
The newest addition to my collection. So spring. So lily of the valley. So strong, yet so subtle when it settles. I love it.
To some, it may just smell like air freshener though, lol
NUTTORTISPESS – :
I have VINTAGE Diorissimo EDT (hounds tooth box from late 80s), and it’s lovely: crisp and fresh and lasts long enough.
I also have the full strength perfume that came in the pink box (bought it some years back online, new). It smells lovely, but it lasts no more than an hour–which is weird for full-strength perfume.
I have not encountered any other reformulations of Diorissimo and am afraid to based on the reviews that I’m reading. 🙂
Tip: Nanctucket Natural Oils does a lovely perfume OIL that is very much like the ’80s (or original 50s?) Diorissimo. I got slightly stuffy-nosed and had to return it, but I LOVED this man’s interp of Diorissimo and wish that I could have kept it.
Koronelli – :
I have to agree with the previous writer.
This didn’t last on my wrist, approximately two hours or so.
The scent it self was quite stunning, while it was close to me.
I wouldn’t waste my money in this version.
bozel – :
Disappointing.
Novichok147 – :
Diorissimo is a beautiful, fresh floral. However, it did not last more than a couple of hours when I tried it out today.
Disappointing.

I have moved my review from classic “Diorissimo” to particular this one that i was writing about.
It has happened only lately that i learned to truly appreciate this scent and particulary in this version. Maybe it is because earlier formulations weren´t exactly my taste but more likely becasue you need to catch a perfect moment to begin to like this treasure….
If i could compare it to anything i would compare “Diorissimo” to finest China porcelain. The best quality only. To my nose this is the fragile scent with amazingly high concentration of lilly of the valley with added lilac and jasmine flowers and bergamot. What better to wear on a hottest summer day???!!!! It quenches your thurst and keeps your senses clear when the sun is on it´s highest high. Great staying power even for EDT. This perfume is not developing, it just stays like it is from beginning till the end and that´s simply great in this case! Yes it is quite one-sided but this perfection really does not need to develope!
I am really glad that i love it now, but also i like that it is not a common scent that a lot of people use so i get questioned a lot what am i wearing… That´s the best compliment ever! Diorissimo should never be discontinued, sometimes we need that fragility in this rude world! For all those who are tired of those fruity-sticky-floral summer scents: you should really try this one, it is unique and refreshing at the same time!

I can smell from the beginning to the end of pyramid scent – ylang-ylang-lily-jasmine. This is beautiful green floral scent and it’s very natural also. Jasmine is dominant. I couldn’t detect musk or wood.
Anyone loving lily of the valley or jasmine surely love it.

Well, it seems that Dior or LVMH, likes to play with this beauty…
In the last 2 weeks, I found the new bottles of the remade Diorissimo at the perfume store. The same bottle presented in the photo above, but with yellow fragrance, almost no color and other with pink liquid. I thought that maybe this variety was because Diorissimo is available in Eau de parfum and eau de toilette, but until now, I managed to find only eau de toilette.
Og God, if only the 2009 reformulation has so many variants, I just don’t want to imagine how they murdered mister Roudnitska Diorissimo…
Thank God that I am young and I don’t know the vintage smell of this, cause I think I would have cried.
Anyway, I’ll keep trying to notice differences.
Poor vintage perfumes!
