Gris Dior Esprit De Parfum

This is definitely the most similar Esprit from it’s original version. I would call the original Gris Dior EDP “sparkling”. The bergamot is prominent with a fresh rose and a clean patchouli. Its a very modern and wearable chypre. Gris Dior Esprit doesn’t derogate from its clean nature, but takes a more powdery direction. The original description shows a violet note, which makes Gris Dior Esprit more mysterious, a bit more “gothic” almost. If I had to compare them to 2 different people, Gris Dior edp would be a business women in Paris, dressed in light grey, clean, serious and corporate. Gris Dior Esprit would someone from an artistic field like a important lady working in music production or art deal and she wears a black suit with eyeliner and many ear piercings. This scent is truly so beautiful with a great dry-down and long-lasting.

I am so glad I didn’t read all the reviews prior to purchasing. I was given several samples of this from a Dior shop when I purchased several bottles prior to Christmas. I took a while to make the decision but once I fell for this scent, I was all in. I absolutely love this fragrance. At first I thought it was going to be redundant to the original Gris Dior, which I already own and love. The original seems to be more powdery and softer and still has its place, but this is richer and deeper and slightly more intoxicating to me. I love patchouli fragrances, and the patchouli in this is stronger and adds more depth. I strongly disagree that this has been ruined by MFK. But the world is full of opinions. We all get to have one.

It is like the perfect blend between Ambre des Merveilles by Hermes and Gris Montaigne! This is phenomenal! Strong sillage, long lasting power, sophisticated, classy, PERFECTLY unisex, this is everything I wanted Gris Dior to be for years, the amber and patchouli are at their highest potential! 10/10!!!!!! The esprit de parfum line might be expensive but it is worth every penny! It is what the DIOR collection privée line used to be years ago with Demachy before reformulations basically!

I bought this fragrance on March 8 2025. Almost every one I’ve came in contact with? Has complimented me on this fragrance. I feel like this should be classified as rich rose. Definitely signature scent worthy . Unique. Fills up a room no doubt . I recommend this scent is you’re looking for something with rose but very unique . Rating : 8.7/10 Edit: still in love with this . Made it my signature . New rating : 9.2/10

Testing my sample; this is a deeper version of the original, wears woodier and noticeably sweeter on my skin, like a grapey patchouli. This is one my favorite DNA of the Maison Line, so I really like this. Very strong, cool/cold weather appropriate. Received a compliment, strong too.

Wow this is great not sure what I was expecting. While not looking at the notes I tested this and I got this syrupy smell but mainly I got grape soda or grape candy. Then it settled into this jammy rose with patchouli. This stuff is really amazing

This is a deeper, intense, rich version of Dior Gris which is excellent in every way however this is insanely overpriced. Not considering price this is a 9/10 but based on the price it’s a 5/10

This is perfection. As a man who wears a suit daily, this adds something to my aura that other fragrances just can’t quite achieve. Could reach goat status imo

A deeper, richer take on the original, where patchouli and amber steal the show. Earthy, woody, and wrapped in chypre elegance. This one fills the room.

Definitely a step above the original. Darker, denser, more direct. The original is light and airy. This extrait also leans slightly more masculine.

Yes, the price is too high. But the fragrance is excellent! A richer, denser, creamier and more opulent version of the original. A masterpiece!

I already love the EDP Gris Dior! The esprit is another lovel! I’m so in love! Love from the first sniff! 🩵🩵🩵

More rounded and softer than the white label version. Have the later but prefer this one better.

I am pleasantly surprised. The Esprit is more powdery and rosier than the EDP. I love it.

I like it much better than the current EDP, but not $300 better.

Absolutely gorgeous! A true luxurious, velvety perfume!

Magnificent opening, dries down very quickly to a relentless, infinite akigalawood, à la Quentin Bisch. Reminds me of Dioriviera, not in its scent profile but in its punishing, relentless tenacity and lack of complexity. I cannot stress the relentlessness enough. I think this is the worst in the esprit range so far. I mostly like the others though, so I'm still interested in what else they might do next.

Bland opinions coming up on these esprits and perhaps the blandest being Gris Dior. Seemed like an odd choice considering they have Rouge Trafalgar and Oud Ispahan in this collection, overkill on the rose perfumes but hey ho! Jammy, fruity, full top notes on this one, all the things I don’t recall Gris Dior being in its edp format. I liked it but nothing massively stiring to me.

One of the only misses from the dior private line. In the opening it smells a little like bug spray. Once it dries down, the bug spray tones down but doesn't go away. Floral and wood notes come in. Overall after the opening it is a great smooth woody floral scent. 8/10, great scent but $470 for a 2.5oz is too much.

Out of the entire Esprit line, this one is the most similar to the original EDP. It's a little sweeter, a little more powdery, but keeps the heart and soul of the first Gris Dior. Perhaps the only one I actually like out of all the Esprits, after all.
