Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorella

In the canon of Dior’s olfactory creations, Diorella emerges as a fragrance that I truly love, precisely because it embodies a delicate equilibrium between refinement and quiet daring. Opening with a citrusy sparkle that gradually yields to a lush floral heart, it carries a sweetness reminiscent of honeysuckle, tender yet vivid, weaving itself into an accord where green, fruity, and subtly chypre nuances mingle with effortless grace. The sillage and projection, while moderate, lend the perfume a refined intimacy enough to leave a trace without overwhelming, like a whispered secret in the air while its longevity sustains the experience in measured persistence, never cloying, always graceful. Critically, what elevates Diorella beyond neutrality or mere admiration is how its construction feels at once sun-drenched and sophisticated, a perfume that resists the banalities of liking and instead demands love, because it reinvents the familiar tropes of florals and fruits into something strikingly alive. In conclusion, Diorella is not simply worn; it is lived with, unfolding on skin as a gentle, radiant narrative that insists on affection, and for me, earns nothing less than love. Occasion: Casual, Date Scent: 2/2 Longevity: 1.2/2 Sillage: 1/2 Packaging: 1.5/2 Price: 1/2 ——— I’d rate it 6.7 out of 10.

Edmond Roudnitska claimed Diorella as his proudest creation, an aromatic Chypre which defied perfume norms at the time. I have owned and loved a 1980s bottle for about a year now, but only just gotten around to acquiring the modern formulation: and I can wholeheartedly say, it is absolutely stunning. Both open with an overdose of bright tangy lemons, bitter zest and rind included, however the vintage is noticeably damper, whereas the modern clean and soapy. A beautiful green herbaceous facet persists in both rather similarly and, whilst the vintage will obviously have a stronger presence of oakmoss, they both dry down incredibly close to one another. Diorella is a masterpiece, a piece of history which catapulted Dior even further into the perfume industry it now dominates. Whilst hunting a beautiful vintage bottle is always fun, scent-wise alone, there is almost no need - this is utterly enchanting and has been kept true to the original with an extremely impressive likeness.

Diorella is a very classic scent, you'd be hard pressed to find anything of this calibre in modern fragrances. Typical of most chypres, Diorella opens with a citrusy and refreshing burst of Sicilian lemon and bergamot. Adding to the citrus is an interesting blend of green notes and basil which gives this fragrance a herbaceous like quality. Despite this rather sharp and sour opening, Diorella is extremely feminine and balanced. The top notes transcend delicately into the heart which is mostly subtle, green and slightly sweet honeysuckle, rose, jasmine and peach. After a while the heart takes on a clean and soapy quality which is a little similar to Miss Dior. Rounding off this scent is the drydown which is rich, animalistic and woodsy. A masterpiece in my opinion. Upon your first encounter with this fragrance it may not be love at first sniff, but like so many other Dior fragrances it will certainly grow on you. It's on my wishlist.

Self Former Ghost Barely Resambles Version Vintage WTF Ifra exclamation mark (put them in order...) I know, I know even if I don’t know cause I don’t know the vintage version but I can imagine, but still...if I focuse on what it’s there, I can only say that I find beauty in this little gorgeous summer chypre, its creamy vetiver sweetened by the peach and honeysuckle really stands out. The fact that many reviewers have pointed out a shared dna with Le Parfume de Therese has surely skyrocketed my excitement but I really can’t see what’s not to like in this new version of Diorella. Longevity is good and the drydown makes me almost as happy as the brunette in the vintage ad. Now I have to get a yellow jacket. A new personal favorite.

Today I had a chance to try Diorella in a shop. It is really beautiful. Very fresh, but it is fresh in a completely different way than other fragrances, I can smell rich lemon, surrounded by honeysuckle and vetyver is in the background. It is also delicate and creamy, couldn ́t stop smelling my wrist. I think this will be my favourite one for the next summer. When I compare it to other fresh summer fragrances it is much more softer and elegant not so loud. I love it.

As woodlandwalk previously said, it resembles Eau Sauvage, which I owned and loved. Sniffed this today and I must say, I like it very very much. I know I must own it, the problem is I can't choose between this (Diorella) and Diorissimo. As the weather gets warmer and warmer, I find myself craving for fresh, invigorating scents. Longevity is pretty good: has been over 7 hours since tested and I can still smell it on my arm. Must rethink my budget. Again.

I don't know how close it is to the original as i've never smelled it , but this one is very pleasant summer scent. It smells like Eau de Cologne , in a bit more sophisticated way however. It smells classic , it's an everyday / office scent, very lemony , but not too sour . I bet some young trendy girl would call it "old lady scent" , i'd rather call it classical . In the same spirit of Eau de Rochas and the Escales series also from Dior.

Un peu diluée cette version actuelle de Diorella qui était bien plus verte et croquante dans sa formule initiale. Sa proximité avec Cristalle est évidente mais je trouve que Diorella dégage quelque chose d'un peu pétillant, presque effervescent. C'est en cela que les deux créations, contemporaines l'une de l'autre, se différencient.

This is my favourite from Les Creations de Monsieur Dior series. The only Dior I've tried in vintage is Miss Dior so I don't have the original to compare Diorella to. I'm really enjoying the way the animalic/indolic jasmine is playing with melon, lemon and woody notes of vetiver, I find it very sensual and I'm surprised to see it described as spring fresh. It does have a very fresh lemon but that's contrasted nicely with the more rounded notes. Indolic/sweaty white florals usually seem to be paired with sweet notes which can get a bit sickly, so I like this fresh/dirty contrast It's reminiscent of some aspects of Eau Sauvage and Diorama, and probably Parfum de Therese though I've not tried that one yet - I'm just guessing that PdT has similar fruity and vetiver elements,but enhanced. Eau Sauvage is one of my favourite male perfumes so I'm liking this very much! I think if you're looking for a spring feel Dior's Forever and Ever is far more spring-like than this. The silage is quite soft and longevity good

I get so weary of people whining about modern perfumes being a shadow of the originals. Yes, that’s sad. But, they aren’t coming back. Most of us have only the current versions available to them. I appreciate them for what they are and avoid criticizing them for what they aren’t. This fragrance has a beautiful citrus opening that is hanging in far longer than most do. The honeysuckle is just beginning to rise from my wrists after nearly an hour. It will be interesting to see if those two stick around much longer or if this will end up being just a roll in the vetiver. Yes, this is my first wearing, and I probably should have waited a while to write this, but the complaining just got to me this morning.

Zesty vetyver and lemon, but not aggressive. The note list here indicates few ingredients, too few, in my opinion. I find it quite fruity, but could be just the honeysuckle. A woman wearing this is is chic, has a strong character, but delicate too. A man could wear it very well. The bottom seems to have some oak moss as even when it gets more delicate, the construction stays intact. It smells refreshing, aromatic, almost in a category of clean scents, but not soapy, not like detergent. Vintage touches throughout. Very suitable for spring/summer.

fresh, bright, breezy, summery, uplifting. Really lovely. would be suitable for men or women. Very cheerful! top notes strongly remind me of Eau Sauvage. not terribly long-lasting & I'm not sure I'd want to spend £70 on a big bottle (I have a 7.5ml mini). to be fair, it did last longer than 'diorissimo'. maybe the sprayers are too mini on the mini bottles...

Diorella is a fresh, powdery perfume with a lovely lemony scent. The pyramid seems a bit simplistic to me, I would have added a little note of jasmine and melon and/or peach. The vetiver brings a little woody base that enhances the whole thing. It smells like spring, summer, sunny days! A very beautiful perfume.

A bit too lemony. Suggest trying before buying.

This is the sporty sister that is on the go and smells fresh always very citrusy and clean a lovely uncomplicated fragrance and a safe blind buy if you like citrusy frangrances

Fragrance enthusiasts - especially professionals - have a number of ways to make a favorite fragrance sound irresistible. Reviews can enumerate the various notes in a fragrance, using flowery, unlikely descriptors to make each note sound unique and desirable. Sometimes a fragrance will be compared as a whole to an unrelated experience or situation...ie "such and such smells like a walk on the beach in the winter, when the whales are especially amorous." Sometimes a particular fragrance is inextricably linked to an event or a time period - "...was composed in 1925, and every bottle contains the soul of a flapper." Diorella, as a result of a certain quality, age and popularity, has been reviewed endlessly - and it was my bad luck to build an image of it in my head (completely unsmelled- despite its relative importance, it can be incredibly difficult to find a boutique or department store with a tester). When I finally found a bottle within my budget, imagine my disappointment when I discovered the "perfected Eau Sauvage," with its notes of "overripe melon" and weird incongruous notes, "like toothpaste on fur," was merely a sad white floral with an incredibly brief citrus opening and a soapy vetiver drydown. Whatever masterpiece this once was - a labor of love from maestro Roudinitska, emblematic of a generation of liberated women and supposedly a damn good masculine too - it is no longer, and given the state of the industry likely will never be again. I will have to continue my search for an affordable older bottle, so I can finally understand what exactly all the fuss is about.

I blind bought the bottle of Diorella based on the notes and the reviews. I like citrusy scents so it seemed like it would be a good match for me. When I took the first whiff, though, all I got was vetiver. What citrus, what florals? The vetiver steamrolled them completely. Ended up giving the bottle to my grandma and she was showered in complements, everyone kept asking her about the perfume. Oh well I guess Diorella and me just weren’t meant to be.

Opening smells like a citrus scented household cleaner then morphs into a sickly white floral with a very intense and overpowering oak moss backing. I personally found this fragrance to be much too strong and cloying. Gave me a headache... this perfume reminds me a little bit of the reformulated Azuree except with lemon pine-sol notes and more oakmoss.

I wish Dior had relaunched the old Diorella, with all its notes, even if it was in a reformulated version. This is such an oversimplified copy that it almost brings tears to my eyes! And so terribly pricey! For me this is only a classier, greener Eau de Rochas, and I do like Eau de Rochas but I really miss Diorella’s subtle floral nuances :(

Blind buy as I thought that it would smell similar to Chanel Cristalle EdT(which I love, but sadly is a bit too soft) - disappointment for me! Smelled like soap on my skin. Somehow I expected a crisp green scent with a little floral hint...but this was in a way too sweet and warm for me. I sent it back, I'm looking for a cooler scent...
