Dia 40 Woman

This is the scent of like an opulent Qatari woman who spends her leisure browsing through luxury malls. Herself adorns in bronde beige flowy silken hijab much like the color of this bottle. She radiates a sort of radiance that I could describe someone like Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci leaving trails of this scent. An overall addictive fragrance it has a Chanel No 5 aldehyde feel but a totally different soapy note with tinges of white florals adding to its complexity. Very feminine very chic like mademoiselle had bottled herself which is justified for the price it’s unmistakably luxurious a true benchmark quality for high end niche fragrance My Verdict Smell : 9.5 ( The Most Textbook Luxurious Womanly Smell Bottle : 10 ( Regardless The Perfume I Would’ve Bought It Anyway Just For The Bottle Concept : 9.5 ( AMOUAGE Is never short coming with its story telling and fragrance lore Value : 7.5 ( Price is quite fair given its undoubtedly luxurious qualities I would argue that it’s one of the few niche houses that puts quality in the forefront of their designs A Safe Blind buy? If you’re kinda broke but want that opulent women aura it’s a definite yes. If you’re already wealthy and considering buying multiple bottles and turning it into a your signature scent so the Chanel No 5 girlies gets a whiff of what a true rich mommy smell like? Absolutely!!! Also good for you 👏😘

Amouage went so far as to put “woman” on the packaging But I’m here to tell you, idgaf. This is a sweet, musky, soapy, floral, freshy, that I’ve sat on buying for months. I finally bought it, and still it sat in the box while I bathed in samples, and layering combinations. I’ve tried so hard to make sure I truly love it before I crack open the plastic. It can be harsh in the opening, which might scare some away. That super soapy opening; and I mean SOAP! But it dries down soft, sweet, fresh and floral. It just takes this very classy turn from soap bomb, to a plush bed of carnations and ylangylang. I know it says sandalwood, orris, guaiac and amyris are the base, but they really only play supporting roles to my nose. Something makes it a little spicy, but it’s such a velvety fresh floral after the dry down. As a few hours pass, it’s like you dabbed powder and and sandalwood with roses.. and all those aldahydes just fade away If you love soapy fresh, this is it. If you’re not a fan of soapy steer clear. If you can stand soapy and enjoy fresh, floral, and creamy clean scent, the dry down is for you. But for the price point, I wouldn’t experiment. $600usd after tax is a stretch to smell like SOAP. But for a “Woman” targeted soapy floral, I’m a dude, and I’m keeping it. It’s awesome and I’m glad I came across it.

Soapy, powdery aldehyde bomb. It feels simultaneously babylike and old ladyish, neither necessarily in a bad way. But for me, ultimately in a bad way. Babylike in that at first it reminds me of wetwipes or a warm bubble bath in J&J. Grandma like in that it's one of those old school powdery florals like the vintage guerlain or anais lines that pervasively wafted in the bingo halls in the 80s. At first, I thought she was a powerhouse, because 1 spray hit my nose hard, and this comes from a diehard perfume lover who doesn't mind if you smell me one block over. But for such a strong start, she disappeared unexpectedly within an hour, leaving only a vague floral version of a baby powder behind. If you love aldehydes like I do, you'll probably like this. Many of them disappear quickly (I adore lazy Sunday but constantly curse it's fleeting nature), and this is no exception. At the high price point, respraying will cost you like $10 a day. The original Dia is a lot better. Thankful to get to try and wear this through a travelling sample box from our fantastic community.

This smelled like straight up clean laundry/soap when I tried a sample. I was not a fan. However, it develops into a creamy, musky, clean scent which sweetens up in the mid notes and then gets woody as it wears out. There is also a rich body cream like whiff in the dry down. It is a all year round type of scent, however I feel it is more suited to the daytime. This perfume is for a modern, sophisticated, accomplished, rich woman in her late twenties to thirties. It has great performance and is one of the few scents I can smell on myself for hours in a lovely scent bubble. I normally run from "clean" scents as I often find them to be boring and linear - however this is simply stunning. It sparkles and leaves a gorgeous scent trail. I quickly bought a full sized bottle and I love it.

I own neither it nor the original, but I have tried the original several times, and today I have tried Dia 40 Woman. I like them both, but prefer Dia 40, and if I was going to buy either of them that would be my choice. This is very much a matter of my personal taste though. Dia 40 is a little more dusty/powdery/incensey/woody with a little less of the clear, sweet floral aspect of the original(peony perhaps?), and as someone who likes powder, incense and woods it appeals to me just that little bit more. The original is still lovely though. It should be noted, as others have mentioned, that they are both more in a classical perfume style than a modern one, which will attract some people and repel others.

Dia 40 completely stole my heart. It feels effortlessly elegant, soft and luminous without ever trying too hard. The composition is beautifully blended—nothing screams for attention, yet everything feels perfectly in place. It has that quiet luxury that makes you want to keep smelling your wrist throughout the day. To me, Dia 40 is comforting, refined and incredibly wearable. It doesn't overwhelm the room; instead, it creates a graceful aura around the wearer. This is the kind of fragrance that makes me feel calm, confident and feminine. Love at first wear. 🤎

Ok first of all people who comenting below by saying its a old school style strong fragrance either they don't own this fragrance or smelld it somewhere in malls or in fragrance shops never tried on skin This fragrance is one of the most beautiful clean fragrance with good projection and longevity, definitely smells expensive and people will notice you for sure perfectly unisex in my opinion obviously bit more feminine leaning but men can wear it easily as its clean fresh fragrance, 10/10

i smelled this in store and instantly fell in love with its expensive retired lady-boss clean laundry nature. it gives off this classy, elegant, sophisticated, put-together vibes. i just could not stand the high price point. it's SGD801! So i settled with Dia Woman and i'm still very happy. Maybe one day when i hit the lottery i will consider getting Dia 40. It's like the Black Birkin of perfumes. Simple everyday luxury. Love it!!!

The first spray was full of floral powdery scents. It's just like I put talcum powder over the body. But when it start to dry down a nostalgic moment came to my mind. It's scent of my mum's vintage wardrobe where she put few bottles of perfume between the clothes that was around 1980's. I love the dry down smells. Feels like very exclusive and luxurious life. Sure want to keep it inside my wardrobe to let the memory stay forever

Lives up to being a truly stronger, even purer form of the original, the aldehydes, florals , and musks all come together to create the ultimate luxury bath soap accord, very satisfying to wear and is simple but extremely elegant. Usually I don’t love the soapy powder white floral bombs that border on baby powder like in Gold which almost becomes Gold Bond but this is very well done not a total love but I can appreciate

Dia has long been one of my favorite scents as I love aldehydes. It is quite beautiful. Dia 40 is even better for all the same reasons and more. I love it a lot. The only problem is that all the things I love go away after about 30 minutes. She is super strong out of the gate, but then dies down quickly. I don't care, tho, I will wear her despite the longevity because she is just beautiful.

I love this scent. Long lasting, great projection. I get compliments every time I wear it. On my skin, it lasts 12-24 hours. The dry down is where this perfume shines with swirls of wood and flowers. One of my favs.

If you are looking for the best soapy vibe perfume, this is it, no doubt, don't over sprays this one otherwise you will choke out yourself, longevity is over 12 hrs with huge projection Dia 40 is 8.5/10

This is divine. I feel euphoric wearing this. It's a very airy clean perfume that makes me feel like I am floating on clouds next to a field of flowers. I just love it so much!

I'm a 38 year old man and I absolutely love this. It smells like high end soap..Aldehydic, creamy floral. I simply can't enough of this. A concrete 10/10.

Second full wearing of Dia 40 and I’m in love. It smells like a billionaire snobby woman but in the best way possible. So classy and clean and old school

Gosh. Dia 40 is actually addictive. Musky aged florals, a tad bit of funk to the average wearer, and blended to beyond perfection. Need a bottle asap

A bomb of soapy aldehydes in the first spray, followed by a sweet, attractive and feminine floral scent with great sillage and longevity.

I had the old Extrait and would be interesting to see how this re-release compares. I am so looking forward to this!

This has similar facets in the background alike to Roja "Dhiaghilev" it's clean, floral, and very aldehydic.
