La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Milly-la-Foret

Milly La Foret is a very pretty, quietly beautiful, soft as snow perfume. There's nothing here you can put your finger on and I love it for that, everything is laying together neatly, like perfectly aligned displays of art. But it's soso quiet whilst doing this. It's quietly reflective and for that reason, it deserves a place in perfumery, for it captured that silent, personal pleasure of time spent alone and that's truly creative! I bought all of the discontinued ones from behind the counters a few years ago, I have to praise the Dior staff for letting us crazy perfume lovers buy the stuff they are going to send back to The Bermuda Triangle xXx

MILLY-LA-FORET was a blind purchase and I didn't like it at all when I received it in the fall... I guess I expected something else. I even wanted to give this one away... I forgot about it for a while and made another attempt in the spring. Boy! It was very soft, elegant and feminine once it settled... This perfume is perfect for warm spring and for the summer time. It lasted on me really softly all day long... Perfect and inoffensive office scent. I'm keeping it and thinking of repurchasing it.

This opens up like spring captured in a butterfly net! Ever so lightly green ozone makes way for nondescript florals. A slightly soapy, clean smells rises to rival the florals. It finally settles in to a clean musk with the remaining floral overlay; Reminiscent of little shaped soaps in a basket, collecting dust on the back of someone's toilet. I love the opening and whilst this remains very pretty, it is far too clean for my taste. I'm pretty sure Dior forgot to add La Forêt to the composition. Swap out the musk for some gorgeous woods and I'd be all about Milly.

I love the scent very much'. Very soft sweet floral, smooth musky and light powdery. Suitable for daily perfume.

I bought a miniature version of this, thinking it's a musky floral scent, but I was so wrong! On me, it's quite minty and a bit herbal, not like gummy mint, but fresh classy mint, very clean, cool and crispy, but not light. There is some sort of heaviness and luxurious quality to it. It reminds me of an introverted refined middle-aged semi-wealthy guy, isolated himself from the world, retired to his mansion in the country, while reading and writing and reconnecting with the wild nature. Definitely not my cup of tea, but still, it's well done.
