Le Dix Perfume

Ode to Le Dix - Do not fear the nice-girl-demure-image review as unsexy. You will err. Le Dix is an "I have no idea I'm hot as hell and don't care if I am." That is precisely what makes this fragrance so innocent and oh so very incredibly classy/sexy. One of the most divine fragrances ever created; in my top three most fabby of all times, a masterful blend of everything lovely, beautiful, elegant, gracious and refined. I detect the woodsy notes and roses as most dominant, but the lilac and iris are in full bloom also. Le Dix has the old time glamour of days gone by without smelling musty/old in any fashion. I cannot help but think of Grace Kelly (Princess Grace of Monaco) when I smell this amazing fragrance. Hers is the face I see when I inhale this divine elixir. This work of art has a psychology that brings out the best in me, and I am so in love. *smiles* Le Dix is an actual woman and her kind is rare. Everyone is drawn to Le Dix and she is always the center of attention. Everywhere. All the time. Men are crazy about her. Women want to be her. Some women wish to hate her out of envy but are compelled to love her despite themselves as she is the epitome of “woman” and “lady” in every way. Le Dix is gracious to everyone. She is kind, witty, sharp, soft and unintentionally funny at the same time. She is so genuine no one even thinks of her as phony or insincere because it is nowhere in her. She knows how to work a room and reaches out to others always smiling with eyes aglow; large, shimmering pools reflecting the fine treasure of her true spirit... and she is true. Almost too good to be true. People naturally flock to Le Dix as she sees the best in everyone and embraces them for who they are. Sitting in on gossip is beneath her. She has no time for such nonsense because Le DIX’... has people to meet and love. Because she is so drawn to others and their beauty, Le Dix is a magnet always surrounded by fans she calls her friends. Never crass yet charming, delightful and fun enough to laugh along with the rest and she does enjoy a good, naughty joke. Le Dix laughs a lot. Her laughter is like jazz music. Just the sound of her laugh gives even the most melancholic a sense everything will be alright, and she always leaves everyone happier than they were. Le Dix would prefer the night in a powder room giving solace to a female stranger in despair over The Event of The Year; grabbing tissues, sharing her lipstick and fragrance. Before long, the disparaged stranger is Le Dix’s new friend in the mood for a great night. She is no angel or goody-goody nor pretends to be. Most people are aware of her dalliances because everyone wants to know everything about Le Dix. Her private life is hard to hide. She is discreet but word hits the streets and she is unapologetic. She is as sexy as sexy gets; a natural born goddess in every way but she does not view herself that way. Le Dix is loving, lovable, refined, generous, kind, cool, warm, ridiculously gorgeous, demure, tender, forgiving, humble... and that is genuinely who she is. There is nothing to dislike about Le Dix. She is absolutely perfect except for one thing. She has no idea how incredible she really is and feels blushy and undeserving when people tell her. Le Dix... is the most beautiful woman in the world.... and she doesn't even know or care. Meravigliosa Cristobal Balenciaga Le Dix! *stands and applauds*

Aldehydic florals are a peculiar genre. They are all remarkably similar in structure - which makes the differences easier to pick out. Once isolated, you can really see the signature of the perfumer in these subtle nuances. Le Dix is no exception, and between the lines one can sense the individual style of the perfumer Francis Fabron (author of L'Interdit, Monsieur de Givenchy, L'Air du Temps, and many other great fragrances that may or may not be attributed to him). A gorgeous aldehydic burst opens on top with the typical champagne sparkle and French flair of the genre. Almost immediately, an assertive floral bouquet splashes over the scent like whitewash creating a gorgeously ambiguous soapy floral, talc white and almost glowing with radiant feminine intensity. Heaps of powder fall upon the starched white and purple florals and the whole thing is absolutely resplendent! The whiteness doesn't quite fade; the heart and base notes fade into view like when your eyes adjust to a very dark room. Underneath all that powder and jubilant fluorescence is a sexy, resinous, balsamic sandalwood base - the very same one that L'Interdit was later built entirely upon. An animalic breathy warmth hints of naked bodies under newly laundered sheets as the gorgeous base comes into view. The woody accord is absolutely brilliant. This sexy floral Nag Champa drydown goes on for hours, never quite losing the light starched joy of the florals. Though it is absolutely dated right to its release date, it's not at all difficult! Quite honestly, this is one of the best floral aldehyde fragrances I've ever tried and by far the most joyous and youthful. Reviewed is a very vintage "Bath & Skin Essence" concentration.

Not sure why Fragrantica chose "floral chypre" as the category for an old school aldehydic floral that contains no oakmoss, but whatever you call it, Le Dix is a beautiful and utterly well done ultra feminine French classic perfume. Looking at the notes pyramid here, the lack of violet seems like a glaring omission. Maybe it's truly lilac, but it seems more violet than almost anything I've ever encountered. Le Dix is very much about two currently unpopular notes - sparkling, strong aldehydes and powdery violet. Be warned that Le Dix features a ton of both - if those are difficult notes for you, this is one to avoid. Violet is a big part of what makes it both 'Bank of England' to some and more down to earth, approachable and sweet than Chanel No 5. The floral heart is gorgeous and the ambery benzoin sandalwood base is hugely reminiscent of vintage Givenchy L'Interdit. Not a surprise to learn that Francis Fabron was the nose for this as well as for another of my very favorite aldehydics, Piguet's Baghari. All three share a lovely DNA that sets them apart from other similar aldehydic perfumes. I have worn Le Dix made through the years from the late 40s through the 80s, in both parfum and eau de toilette. It's been 'out of style' or 'dated' since before I was born (which was a very long time ago) and yet when I've worn it out I invariably get at least one "What is that - it's so pretty?" comment. Nope, not what you probably want to wear to the club. But if you're a perfumista you owe it to yourself to spend a little time with it if you ever get a chance, if only to experience a really well made French classic perfume that is not Chanel No. 5. =)

Le Dix (I recall a Youtuber affectionately, or rather, inadvertently refer to it as "Lay Dicks"—bless his heart) is surely an acquired taste in this current age. I stress, "age," as this is a true oldie but goodie, a bygone era treasure that is testament to the fact that a fragrance connoisseur may wear something to revel in its beauty all by oneself. Any idea of wearing a perfume out to garner attention is dismissed, as it may very well be that an impolitic someone may be so bold as to throw out the "smells like an old lady/old man" offense. This is a "them" problem for a fragrance connoisseur, who's moved beyond caring or trying to impress. If you are this kind of fumehead, then you may very well be enraptured by Le Dix. It starts with skyrocket aldehydes leaving lilac powder contrails, settling into C. Howard's violets and lily of the valley white glow. There's one facet that reminds me of the scent of certain species of bearded iris, both orris-rooty but also violet-purple-cool. It feels like Apres L'Ondee has suddenly dried its eyes and is dancing in the rain, donned in her nighty. Waltzing around, AL encounters a man in a top hat and cane, wearing a rose boutonniere, waving a civet-scented hanky. "Near You" by Francis Craig starts playing, and they foxtrot into soft and creamy sandalwood sunset. I personally find it all to be simultaneously joyful and hypnotic. Sadly, Le Dix has long ceased production, but if this sounds insatiable to you, it would behoove you to seek it out. I honestly don't think you'll have a ton of competition.
