Description
New Miss Dior Eau de Parfum edition comes out in September 2017, created by Dior perfumer Francois Demachy. The face of advertising campaign is actress Natalie Portman. The fragrance is advertised with slogans like “Miss Dior for love”, “Dior for love” and “And what about you? What would you do for love?”.
The composition is announced as an elegant floral, with dominant notes of roses, the Damask rose and the May rose from Grasse, to be precise. The rest of the composition consists of a fresh opening of lemon, mandarin and pink pepper and a sensual accord in the base that includes rosewood and patchouli.
It is available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Forgetting about the previous iteration of Miss Dior – which I really liked by the way, I have to say that this is like a new perfume. It’s rosy for sure maybe a little lemony, and you what it reminds me of Baby Doll by YSL. The new Miss Dior is pleasant enough and easy to wear, but it’s not memorable enough to me to be a signature scent. It’s also too light and floral to be an autumn/winter scent – probably best saved for spring where it will really shine.

@chininta, is there a batch code on your bottle? Sounds like you have the 2012 version which had a champagne-ish colored liquid. The current 2017 version has a more vintage-looking rosy brownish-pink juice. I haven’t smelled the 2012 version personally, but have read it is more sweet patchouli. The 2017 version (which I own and love) is sweet as well, but more floral. It’s very rose-centric, with patchouli and pink pepper in supporting roles.
Miss Dior 2017 EDP is my favorite winter frag for everyday wear. It reminds me of Christmas. <3

i have the goldish color of miss dior edp just wondering what is the different with the pinkish one ? is is the old version or what? because i just buy it at sephora few weeks ago. for me its nice perfume its sweet delicate and long lasting. i love to spray it just 1- 2 sprays its enough. Its heavy in first spray but After few hour this to be softer and nicer.
neustyhaitien – :
It’s the bull in the china shop. All these notes that sound delicate and enticing all smashed up together into something abrasive. It smells like when you first walk into the perfume shop and you’re confronted with a cloud of every perfume that’s ever been sprayed. The blending is poor and every note is competing with the next. The marketing says sensual but it’s far too heavy and loud to be described as such.
If you like thick sweet heavy perfumes with a presence, this ticks all those boxes, but I think there are other perfumes that do so far more elegantly than this.
nblxa – :
Overripe fruit, very perfumey, the olfactory equivalent to drinking too damn many sunset-colored drinks on an empty stomach and noticing your stomach turning as you get up to pee, with a hint of the headache that awaits tomorrow. Can’t handle it, captain.

On initial spray, I hate it. I don’t know what I’m smelling but then two minutes later it starts to smell nicer on me. This is definitely citrusy but not enough to be called “fresh” it still has some sweetness and a tiny bit of spice. As it dries down I get a little rose but it continues to be dominated by citrus notes at least on my skin. I don’t really smell patchouli in this one. Im gonna have to try this in cooler weather to see how this develops. This 100 degree heat does not pair well with this perfume.
I am wearing this today and a coworker keeps telling me how nice I smell and wrote down the name. Longevity and sillage are pretty decent. Six hours into my shift and I feel like it’s still going pretty strong and I only have to be standing next to someone for them to be able to smell my perfume.
I have several bottle of this 2017 version because I THOUGHT I was stocking up on the 2012 version. I just realized a few days ago that I have the wrong version. I bought my bottles October of last year and for some dumb reason didn’t think to check the batch codes. The tester on display was the 2012 version. So be careful! I went to Ulta the other day and they STILL had 2012 MD as the tester but 2017 bottles for sale. I’m extremely bummed with this change. Miss Dior 2017 is a whole new scent with no similarities to my beloved 2012 version.
I do really like this perfume. I won’t let my disappointment in the change cloud my judgment. With so many backup bottles I feel like i have no choice haha. I feel a lot of people are being unfair in their reviews of this perfume because they are angry with Dior’s reformulation. This perfume is totally new you can’t compare it to the old Miss Dior. I’ll update how this scent changes on my skin when weather cools. This perfume is something i think I would enjoy during fall and winter months.
Oh! BTW I personally don’t smell the comparison to MD Absolutely Blooming. That one is super sweet and this one is only a little sweet.

Do you like rose? Do you love patchouli? Then this is for you. It’s heavy on the rose and mandarin on first spritz, then the patchouli pushes through and stands firmly with the rose. The mandarin balances the two, and keeps the scent from being overwhelming. It’s very well done, and really packs a punch. Daytime delight.

I thought I had the 2012 version and I kept wondering why so many comparisons to Coco Mademoiselle. Then I read more and realized I must have the 2017 version. I have worn Coco Mad for years so I was actually looking for something different and I’m happy with the 2017 version quite honestly. The patchouli is just perfect, it enriches and anchors the sweetness. The dry down is amazing and the scent just envelopes you. Wearable day or night. I have received so many compliments the handful of times I have worn it. Just beautiful!
Edit: I happened to be in Ulta today where they have both the 2012 and 2017 testers out (which is ridiculous, but I digress). I sprayed the 2012 and agree it is super similar to Coco Mad. For those highly upset about the reformulation you should give CCM a try! Personally I already have CCM so I appreciate the 2017 version. I have worn the latter daily and even with the humidity in the south it still works. I can’t wait to get a bit heavy handed with it when the weather cools off!

I have:
Miss Dior Cherie EDP 2005
Miss Dior Cherie EDT 2010
Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet 2007
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet 2014 (The current one)
Miss Dior EDP 2012
So it’s unlikely that I’ll be adding more to the pile unless I find a used one at a ridiculous price but MD EDP 2017 has ROSEWOOD in it and I LOOOOOOVE rosewood so I said okay, let me give it another chance. (First few times I bottle-sniffed at Sephora, I just got a fruity feeling and wasn’t too happy about it… Really didn’t notice rosewood.)
So yesterday at Sephora I sprayed a generous helping on my hand. My sister said it smelled nice, but in that tone like ‘I would’t wear it but it isn’t hideous and I’m just telling you it smells nice so I don’t offend you,’ you know that tone I’m talking about.
Okay, so, rosewood. So many of my darlings have it:
Sensi
Dune
Tendre Poison
Hypno Poison
Ange ou Demon
Egoiste
If you don’t know what it smells like, it smells just what it sounds like: wood with a rosy resinous sweetness.
But apparently that’s all Brazilian Rosewood I listed above and this is Palisander Rosewood… I don’t know, once I read the words ‘rosewood’ and went looking for it, my nose DID recognize something somewhat like rosewood, but it was just so fruity so I really can’t tell you if this is psychology (like thinking a cloud looks like a mouse because your friend just suggested it) or if Palisander Rosewood just smells nothing like Brazilian Rosewood or if Miss Dior EDP 2017 just did a less than stellar job?
I guess one thing I can say is that to me, rosewood is definitely a winter note, and I tested this on a very hot day, so maybe I’ll re-try in the winter and do another review if my opinion changes. (OMG if they don’t discontinue this and pop out a new version by then! Don’t laugh, they did it with the 2011 Miss Dior Cherie!)
So at this point, my description of MD EDP 2017 would be somewhere between MD EDT 2013 (current? Kon-nos91 you are scaring me!) and MD Absolutely Blooming. Just way too fruity to function with a hint of rosewood… maybe. (No offense to those of you who like it!)
I think if you don’t already have any Miss Diors and also you don’t have any fruitchoulis in your collection, this might actually be a good pick, (I’d say do consider it over Mon Paris, Poison Girl and the rest from that category, this is still superior!) But coming from the context of the resume I presented to you above, I feel like this has no place in my collection unless the fruit is way toned down and the rosewood is drier and more serious the next time I try it when the weather cools down. There is always more room for rosewood on my shelf, but MD EDP 2017, pull yourself together!
Also, the bottle is literally identical to 2012, it’s so annoying, only way to tell the difference is to look at the batchcode on the back (anything that starts with a 7 or 8 is new, with the possibility of some 7’s being old???) and then sniff. The fruitiness immediately gives 2017 away, impossible to confuse them!
Kisyavochka – :
**Read this if you’re a Miss Dior fan-ONLY**
The end of Miss Dior world, yeah, I know that my review won’t be understood from everyone who isn’t or even wasn’t a Miss Dior fan and that it may be deleted after many dislikes but truth hurts, isn’t it?
So? What happened with Miss Dior? Ok, reformulated for the 3rd time. Do I miss the older ‘2012’ edition, yes! Can I live without it? Yes…It was a patchouli bomb but a true character, a perfume, a statement even during 00’s that this vibe was lost. Francois Demachy is a master, I can’t understand why he didn’t pay enough attention when he calls it a perfume with love, for love…
They even changed my signature, Miss Dior EDT, I can’t believe that the only way to find ‘older’ bottles is on duty free stores. It’s the only edition that reminds a bit the masterpiece made during 2012. For God’s sake. I will tell you what Francois did. He found the best selling Miss Dior that is Blooming Bouquet EDT so he made something that could be so addictive and nice as an EDP. I’ve got copliments wearing the newest edition but honestly guys, sometimes the fruityness of it reminds me a bit of Poison Girl EDT and although it has an amazing dry down that is a pure traditional candy we use to have in Greece for weddings, I feel like my skin sticks with something ‘dirty’/floral/blah…
I can’t believe I am doing a review expressing bad feelings or hate, take it as you wish but this is unacceptable for a house like Dior. Wake up. Why do you think they made roller pearl editions of 20 ml? Why do you think they made only for Absolutely Blooming, Blooming Bouquet for Miss Dior line and EDT plus Unexpected for Poison Girl? Because they don’t have lasting power! And who wants to re-apply a perfume here and then just to enjoy an explossion of something nice that faints down to less than an hour? For sure not me. I am really sorry for writing that much, if I was crazy I should have copy-paste my comment to every ‘new’ or ‘right now’ edition of Miss Dior but ok. I am really glad I can finally waste a perfume without caring when I will end up by an empty bottle. So here’s what’s happening right now.
EDP 2017: Explained above. A floral blah opening with an addictive bergamot exactly like Blooming Bouquet, a touch of jasmine, a pinch of rosie woodness that gives a couture vibe, ending to a slightly vanillic/chocolat-ie gourmand mess that is nice.
EDT: What left to remind to a point of 80% the latest reformulation of EDP. So hard to be described but it used to be a blood orange with a caramelized patchouli and refreshed by turkish rose. A-ma-zing. It does or ir did remind Coco Mademoiselle EDP but in a more warm, less citrusy harsh way. Newest edition smells kind of synthetic, more floral less intense.
Blooming Bouquet: The absolute (EDT) edition we all love for a strange reason. Extremelly fresh, generic floral, but addictive to the moon and back although it’s just bergamot, peonies and light rose in a base of white musk. It smells like romance, like an expensive body cream, like you just got of the best hair salon and after 30’…boom…say hello to a skin scent that no one will ever smell except from you. YES, a roller ball edition is needed but not sure it helps.
Absolutely Blooming: Wow, what a copy of Armani Si, less chypre or complex, more like a Victoria’s Secret intense berry note with an amazing sillage for a few hours, feminine, too fruity but thank God enough woody and then…ok, buy a rollerball edition just to relive the first hour of it. I had high expectations as it’s an EDP and it’s characterized by a more romantic edition of Blooming Bouquet. Closer to what I really enjoy in gourmandise perfumes but not even close to how addictive Blooming Bouquet is.
Le parfum: Pure amber, refined patchouli and a bit of rose. Have you noticed that they almost remove it from the line silently? I can only find it in some stores or duty free! I won’t analize the original EDT edition (longer bottle, yellow juice as this is a total another story)
EDP 2012: The star of my collection, to help you recognize it, the juice is orangie/champagne-like, the ‘new’ edition is kind of rosie. So easy to be confused even with Absolutely Blooming if light isn’t good and bright enough. What can I say for this perfume? A dirty patchouli, a statement, you feel like you run in nature being carefree, I can smell freedom if that makes sense. The rose is golden, the patchouli is like green, I close my eyes and I see the thorns of roses, I can catch a touch of galbanum, jasmine absolute gives a spicyness, God…I can’t describe more. The best chypre ever smelled in my life. And to end with, for all of you who never smelled it or you dare to compare it with the newest edition. Ok, you wouldn’t like it at all but HOW CAN YOU COMPARE A PERFUME THAT IT IS MADE OF ABSOLUTES? Orange absolute-rose/jasmine absolute-patchouli absolute when the new one is a party of notes that give a generic result?
Enjoy!
Oh and P.S: I will never buy a Miss Dior bottle again, ever, I am not interested in ‘body mists’ sold as EDPs in such prices!!! I will store some bottles of 2012 for my own pleasure, try to find what left from my signature before they change it to look closer to the newest edition (go ahaid and compare EDT and now’s EDP, if you find any similarities I’ll go crazy) and that’s it. In a few years another reformulation will come so I sit back and wait for it 🙂
middlesworth – :
Reminds me of Quelques Notes d’Amour Yves Rocher. A sweet, soft and lightly woody Rose scent! Love it!
SuTeNeR – :
Finally tried this new version on my skin and sprayed a bit my miss dior 2012 on back of my other hand to compare them
Well there’s a slight similarity in that I can detect rose and orangey citruses in both but I don’t feel like they necessarily belong to the same family
Call me crazy but Miss Dior 2017 reminds me Poison Girl more than previous miss dior!
2012 version opens with sharp and sweet patchouli and some sweet orangey citruses,sweetness mellows down in a few minutes and then it dries down to a clean musky floral and a tamed patchouli.I can see why some people find it a bit similar to chanel mademoiselle
patchouli is so much lighter in this version that it’s almost invisible.also there’s no musk here,so rose and orange are more prominent in new miss dior and it’s sweetness lasts all through it’s life but still it’s not too sweet for my taste.I can smell lots of vanilla in new version and I find it very strange that it’s not listed among it’s notes.this new version doesn’t remind me Chanel Mademoiselle even a bit.as mentioned before it reminds me Poison Girl and Miss dior absolutely blooming.Poison Girl is more syrupy sweet,more gourmand thanks to it’s almond and caramelized vanilla and it has stronger sillage,still it shares the same orange candy+modern rose+powdery vanilla with Miss Dior 2017.I adore poison girl so I definitely like this one too
All in all it’s a beautiful scent.I like this pretty,softly powdered,sweet orangey rose covered by vanilla and subtle woods which stays with me for hours.
I like miss dior 2012 but I don’t love it.I don’t love this new version either but I like it more than previous one.I can see that my line for new version can grow to love.
I find it highly versatile,modern and classy at the same time,it’s not original and groundbreaking but I can’t deny how pleasant it is.I’ve just had a single spray on my hand,it lasted for +7 hours but sillage seemed to be soft to moderate,but it may improve after a full wear
I’m adding miss dior 2017 to my wishlist but I cab buy it only if it’s highly discounted or if I find a half used tester bottle as it’s unbelievably expensive here.it’s even more expensive than Amouage perfumes and other niche ones
اگه کسی ورژن جدید میس دیور رو خریده و مقداری ازش رو استفاده کرده و نمیخوادش و قصد فروشش با تخفیف خوب رو داره،من خریدارم
zaxxx77 – :
This is a gourmand rose, very sweet, almost like a rose candy with a little bit of citrus on top. I think it’s too heavy for my taste and lacks a lot of subtelty. Longevity is really nice though and I like the dry-down after 4 hours, before that, it’s a little sickening for my taste (too syrupy, lacks elegance).
The candy rose would appeal to a younger playful crowd.
bartsimpson147 – :
I purchased a 5 ml sample without any idea how it could turn out. When I got it, at first I smelled the sprayer and thought “Oh, it’s like eating Turkish rose lokhum with a hint of citrus.” And then I decided to try it. It opened with a peppery bergamot and quickly dried down a citrusy rose lokhum like I thought 🙂
I don’t think it’s a romantic perfume, it’s more like it tries to be a romantic girl in a very young age. Yeah, it is Miss Dior herself.
Now I have Miss Dior edp on me and I feel like I’m eating a tangerine lokhum and a rose lokhum between the biscuits at the same time 😀
milashka – :
After 6 hours, this perfume has some Bois d’Argent notes
Dmytro2010 – :
I was wrong! This will never replace my beloved Delina! I had previously stated this is a good cheap alternative to some of the “fancier” sweet rose fragrances, but after further testing, I really have to say you can’t cheat your nose/heart, and that I should’ve spent 3x more to get something truly mesmerizing…
With that said, this is still one of the best “commercial” releases out there.
DmitryDD – :
I believe I’ve reviewed the wrong Miss Dior EDP by mistake (I wrote for the 2012 formulation) and I’ve decided to write a new review rather than copy and paste.
I really like this perfume but not my favourite of the Miss Dior range (Blooming Bouquet is my favourite). A lovely fresh floral scent with rose and patchouli notes dominating the scent on my skin and the citrus notes breaking though softly in the dry down. Longevity not that great with 5 hours max and sillage moderate but I must admit I don’t use this much but nevertheless a keeper.
lgbalabanva – :
I have smelled this before in stores, but it never really grabbed me as anything special until today for some weird reason I fell in love with it. I sniffed the bottle, and instantly thought of Christmas. I decided then and there that this is what I want to wear this coming Christmas. Since I’ve got home though and kept smelling the test card, I think I have to get some tomorrow! I have never smelled the 2012 version, but this one is just divine. It’s sweet, warm, spicy, peppery. When guys talk about women smelling so good, I’ve often wondered which fragrances would make them say that … this has to be one of those scents. This fragrance is both elegant and sexy at the same time. It feels perfect for a prom/wedding, but it also feels perfect for a late night booty call with a sizzling hot guy. I think it would be a bit heavy and rich for office wear though.
EDIT: Reading other reviews, there are a lot of annoyed customers at all the re-re-reformulations. I can sympathize. Some people like to have a signature scent they wear for years. It would be annoying not to be able to rely on that scent being available in the future. CD should listen to their customers.
Idsanaki – :
I don’t enjoy the pink pepper, but it’s quickly replaced by a sweet, watery rose and rosewood base. I liked my sample enough to use it up, but ultimately settled on Poison Girl for the same rose with an almond base. (Absolutely Blooming was beautiful, but a little sharp on my skin.) Not similar to Coco Mlle, despite the Sephora SA’s suggestion.
mujaxd – :
Sorry, but to me this is an abomination !
The many versions of Miss Dior were all being stripped down with every release, making them simpler and simpler (still nice though, likeable but lackig depth with time) but this one does not even smell like Miss Dior, so much pepper it’s dry and just plain upleasant. Uh.
Maybe on another day it will bloom but this was a scrubber for me.
I also do not understand how more pepper and less depth and more chem lab particles can be more youthful for some, but I’ll wait and maybe one day I will find it less irritating.
version147 – :
I bought Miss Dior Cherie in 2007 and loved it. Since then and after a ridiculous number of versions later, I think I have found something I like almost as much (but not quite). It’s a great formulation and stronger than say, Blooming Bouquet, which dissipates from my skin almost as soon as it is sprayed. It’s also not as cloying and sickening as Absolutely Blooming, which is great but still doesn’t last as long as it could.
jenyazenkova – :
I have the old one to 2012 goldis color and this beautiful new one pinkish color and my opinion it’s that this new it’s my love really enjoyed it’s feminine sweet creamy and gorgeous. Besides I I’m in love with absolut blooming to both are very beautiful
alexcool90 – :
So, let me start by saying I haven’t tried any of the 500 previous Miss Diors (I know, I know!). Yes, been living under a rock here.
I received a sample with something I bought last week, and at first spray, I was pleasantly surprised at the bite of peppery spiciness! Quickly, she turns quite woody, and settles into an ambery vanilla.
Sillage is moderate. Longevity on me is monstrous: when I first tested, I sprayed on my inner elbow in the evening, and I could still smell whiffs in the morning after I woke up.
I really like this. When I get to the end of my sample, if I still feel the same, I’m definitely getting a full bottle.
UPDATE: This Miss Dior sure has grown on me each time I wore it. I’ve wrested the last spritz out of the sample, so off I go to buy a full bottle.
Константин1984 – :
@prettyswag I understand what you’re saying, however, at Ulta they still have the 2012 version as the tester. But when I got into my truck, it wasn’t until I opened the box & saw that it was different. Different color & smell. I was like hmmm. I sprayed it on & liked it better than the one that I thought that I was purchasing. And the SA’s are not very knowledgeable when it comes to reforms lol. They feel like if it has that name & strength then its the same.
Holatrast – :
@flyerflysf Yes but…if your purchasing inside a legit store the sales person can tell you or allow you to sniff or view the juice …IF online 9X/10…is the 2017 version. But fragrance.net ..had 2012 version still selling …they maybe out of stock due to 2012 being discontinued. But the new juice is pink and old 2012 is very golden .
KiKoGaVVa – :
Independent of colour, it is so easy to distinguish Miss Dior 2017 from 2012. 2012 is the one that absolutely resembles Coco Mad: citruses, patchouli with a hint of flowers, especially jasmine.2017 is much sweeter a bit like Absolutely Blooming but with lower longevity (5/6 hours vs 7/8 for Abs.Blooming), much less citruses and patchouli, more red pepper and a bit of roses.
tadim1982 – :
ALL ladies to sum up the confusion between the 2012 version VS 2017 version is THE COLOR OF THE JUICE…..2012 IS MORE GOLDEN JUICE TONE….2017 IS WARM PINK….VERY SIMPLE.
vik85841173 – :
To Minty Mouth: you are right! After you helped me out with the batch code to identify which version is which, I tested Miss Dior again and realized that my review was for the wrong version. Although the 2017 still smells good on me, I can see what is “missing” and “different”, compared to the old formula.
The best way to avoid confusion is to double check the batch code before buying, and it does not matter either at Macy’s or Sephora…, as the old bottles can still be displayed with the new ones on the shelf. You may test one version, but end up buying the other by mistake, due to bottles got mixed up. And many sale associates do not even know, if they are not trained or informed by the perfume rep specialist.
I did some experiment at home by layering the 2017 version with Prada La Femme EDP. The result was great. Check it out, in case you guys wanna “reminisce” or “recreate” the 2012 scent. Have fun 🙂
Melcv448Bessinepome – :
It doesn’t smell anything like Coco Mademoiselle or the intense version. The older Miss Dior shared similarities, yes.
effonsErott – :
I agree with you @Minty Mouth… 2012 version smells verrrrry similar to Coco Mad. 2017 version (that I LOVE) smells nothing like it AT ALL.
pepsi – :
FireFlySF it sounds to me like you’re describing the 2012 version. The minty patchouli you describe IMO is totally absent in the 2017 version. The 2017 also smells nothing like Coco Mad, whereas the 2012 is very noticeably similar to it.
Mefecheammoms – :
The four notes from this one that stood out the most on me are rose, patchouli, citrus/orange and a hint of jasmine. I spray tested it at Sephora and on my way out, 2 of the sale staffs nicely stopped me and asked which fragrance that I just tested, as they sniffed a trail of something “INCREDIBLY good from me” when I walked pass them. When I told them it was Miss Dior EDP, they seemed a little surprised but still professionally complimented me on the fragrance. When I was by the door and far away from them already, I overheard them privately whispering with each other:”Wow, it smelled differently and really good on her…”.
The scent is florally fresh, youthful and classy at the same time. I smelled soft rose, soft jasmine, fresh orange and minty patchouli with a gentle warm wood. Pink pepper was just right, balanced enough to give the composition a little “kick” or “lift”.
I can also see some similarities between this one and Chanel CoCo Mad, from sniffing from the bottle sprayer only. But on my skin, Miss Dior performed differently in the dry down with more “warmth and softness” than CoCo Mad (somebody in here already pointed out). However, this fragrance DOES work very well with my chemistry.
I also tested the EDT and I liked it too. Of course, it did not last as long as the EDP, and they both smelled very differently, as if they were not related (just like many other different EDTs in general, this EDT version smelled fresh with the citrus/green notes). I have a strong feeling that Miss Dior EDT has close similarities to Miss Dior EDP 2012 version that many Miss Dior’s fans have missed.
I have no idea what the version 2012 EDP actually smells like, nor should I care to find out, as it was already “gone”, but more importantly, I LIKE what are in this newest version that I got introduced to NOW, as it worked out beautifully in my favor! Don’t take me wrong, if I stumble upon the old version 2012, I would DEFINITELY try it 🙂
Alex999 – :
This reminds expensive floral shampoo or soap. It’s very lovely. That’s the proper word to describe it. There’s delicacy about it without anything rude, but people around you will notice it. Miss Dior smells like rich girl who has no problems and never sweats lol.
Blooming Bouquet flanker gets all possible accolades but Miss Dior original has more interesting composition.
After wearing it for one hour I caught hint of something familiar, I even thought of Angel. There’s nice sexy patchouli note in the base. I think you would love this perfume if you like Valentino Donna or Mon Guerlain. There’s same accord going through all these compositions.
Loperad – :
It’s an attempt to please younger clients like myself. For me, it failed. With this new version you can find dupes for 30$… Cherie is still my favorite.
_Saffron_ – :
Recently got a tester of this when purchasing another perfume and finally found the time to test drive it.
On first spritz and for a good 15 seconds I get mostly freshly cut lime and lemon with a clear not of pink pepper tickling my nose. There is a humble soft underlying creamy sweetness too.
After about half an hour the pepper got a bit tamer and it starts shifting between soft rose and fresh oranges while that soft sweetness remains.
About three hours in i finally get some powdery wood notes and still quite some orange. The rose at this point just pops in front for me every now and then. It’s so timid it’s almost as if it’s shyly lifting its hand once in a while asking ‘May I say something too?’
So would I buy a full bottle of this perfume. Nope, sorry but nope. I am not saying it is bad. Not at all. But except for the first half hour the rest of the time all the interesting notes are so quiet and humble while the citrus notes are prancing around proudly saying ‘Look at me, I made it into a Dior bottle’.
The thing is, you get very similar kind of scents time and again at medium price range perfumes of apparel brands (Lacoste, Benetton, you name it).
It’s the kind of scent I’d wear on days where I want to smell fresh and nice but wouldn’t want to ‘waste’ my ‘good’ perfumes.
I must say at this price point and all things considered it’s so uninteresting to me I didn’t even care to check out the longevity before applying something else over it.
So for me it’s a pass.
HOWEVER it is indeed a very pleasant inoffensive young everyday fresh kind of scent. You could gift this to a 40 year old just as well as to a 15 year old. It would fit in office, as well as for strolling in a light summer dress around downtown or going for a date.
So if you’re not really adventurous about perfumes with lots of ‘character’ and just want to smell feminine, fresh and romantic, and also enjoy having a nicely designed bottle of Dior on your vanity, this might be just the thing for you.
I don’t feel you can go very wrong with this, but it’s not the kind of scent you’ll remember and identify anywhere even after decades.
inka84 – :
@rockstarrshade I never thought of it that way! It makes total sense that Miss Dior should always be modern, hence the countless reformulations. But it’s kind of crazy how “the modern woman” has changed so much from 2012 to 2017… because those two reformulations are like night and day. This is my second review. I just want to say that I still like the 2017 version much better because it’s less offensive and a HUGE crowd-pleaser.
GUYS, I have never gotten so many compliments in my life, and I mean, I am a fragrance connoisseur! This means that I wear different fragrances every single day. People smell me all the time, and yet, EVERYBODY likes THIS. I am speechless. Perhaps it’s because it is a “typical” sweet floral. It’s rosy, sweet, citrusy in the beginning (blood oranges stand out for me), and it has that sweet patchouli drydown that I love so much. She lasts FOREVER on your clothing.
