Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo Eau de Parfum

09/05/14 19:10 Best rework of the vintage Juice by far today - the more you know. As it turns out, It was the worst case scenario for my relationship with this perfume. It's a testament of how cheap Dior has become, the bottle for my cap broke in the least amazing way possible. It was a shock when It was springtime 2024, went to reach for my bottle to happily layer it over Gabrielle Essence only to find It ORANGE AND GONE. It somewhat feels like the death of a friend, or like when you see a persons the true self. There is no metal ring below the plastic cap-holder, and the base of the nozzle does not have an isolating rubber, a portion of the perfume evaporated and the oils and some water remained on the bottle. I know It Will never smell the same way as a fresh bottle, but while decanting the leftovers, I tried the oils on my skin. Besides the opening -which smells like an incredibly synthetic and sharp "illusion" of Diorissimo - the Jasmine and musk prevail, I'd say It dries down to a very faint Pure Poison. Projection does not exist, I am waiting for a batch of cosmetic grade ethanol to arrive so I can disolve and give back some "power" by adding an evaporator back to the formula. However, this is nothing new. I've been using this for layering for the last four years or so, on top of Tresor in Love and Dior Addict eau Sensuelle. Like I said, I probably had this bottle over a decade, after some while the decrease in the formula quality was pretty evident. It never turned, but It started smelling more synthetic and chemical. Like Laundry soap, a very expensive one. Thankfully I was able to get a half 100ml bottle of Diorissimo EDT (batch code from 2008). Vintage, definite takeaway it's linear but still radiates, and stays true to the original composition, prevails on skin over Diorissimo CdM. It's terrible that this is the replacement for Diorissimo :( they should invest on natural materials again.

Stunning and Definitive! Diorissimo EDP is a beautiful Lily of the Valley perfume. The LOTV is blended with jasmine and a bouquet of greenery. I can spray 1 or 2 sprays and it lasts for several hours. I only spray my wrists. I don't wear this on my chest. This is a strong floral. When I do touch up, I just use one spray. It never becomes cloying because of the greenery and the light underpinning of musk. The fragrance is beautifully nuanced with notes additional to what are listed. The dry down is not to be missed. I had a travel size of the EDT. For me, the EDP is definitely more concentrated. It is also smoother and less indolic. The EDP is a bit denser and doesn’t open up quite as much as the EDT. I will be purchasing a large bottle of the EDT also because I think both blends are beautiful. I like having many different types of fragrances in my collection. This is a must for me because it is unique and beautiful. If you are considering buying a bottle don’t wait. I shudder to think what MFK will do to this beauty if he gets his hands on it. Not to cast any shade but I’m not a fan of any of his Dior fragrances that I have tested to date. I do love Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait. However, Dior is a luxury brand and the fragrances have been exceptional and time honored. I’m not liking the change. There are several Dior fragrances I intend to purchase this year before they are reformulated.

This is strictly for EDP version of Diorissimo. EDT is sharper and somewhat different, I was not impressed with EDT. Diorissimo EDP is hands down the best lily of the valley or shall I say it's the truest lily of the valley. I used to wear Lulu Guinness which has lot of lotv, but is sweeter and girlish and I grew out of it . Diorissimo is not sweet, it's fresh, it's dewy, it starts green and dries to white blossoms. To me Diorissimo is grown up, established, elegant, sophisticated, "respect me" lily of the valley. I totally get it why it was Princess Diana's signature fragrance, these two were made for each other :) With appropriate outfit and occasion Diorissimo makes you feel like a princess yourself. However, Diorissimo has one very big con - staying power. It's gone within 2 hours. I reach for it often, as it is my "I don't know what to wear today" scent and my bottle is getting empty fast. Oh well, but that's usually the case with these frag's you love, they disappear fast, but those you don't like, they linger there for 12+ hours (after scrubbing).

Oh this is absolutely stunning!! While I know the original 1956 Roudnitska creation is considered to be the ultimate version of this -- and I can only imagine how incredible that must be -- I am 100% thrilled with this version. I first smelled this at a perfume shop in Charles de Gaulle and very nearly bought it on the spot, but restrained myself for some silly reason. From the first sniff it's the most drop dead gorgeous, photorealistic lily of the valley scent you've ever encountered. As if that weren't enough, it wafts beautifully and LASTS throughout the day, with the floral aspects fading and a very clean and comforting facet developing some hours later. I actually wore this to bed recently and the next night when I went to bed I thought: "What smells so nice??" Ahhhh, the inimitable, breathtaking Diorissimo!!! And perhaps this is the first perfume in my collection that made me think ..."if i had to choose only one...." Bravissimo, Demachy!!

Diorissimo is the most perfectly imagined muguet (lily of the valley) bouquet, a classic French beauty that has withstood the test of time. Originally introduced by Christian Dior in 1956, Diorissimo is the epitome of femininity, charm, and timeless elegance. A favorite of Princess Diana, Diorissimo was also reportedly worn by Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, Princess Grace and her daughter, Princess Caroline. As muguet symbolizes purity, joy, love, sincerity, happiness and luck, Diorissimo would be perfect for a bride. It's also one of my favorite perfumes to wear to church. I adore Diorissimo in its current EDP form. Three spritzes last about 5 hours with the loveliest, enveloping silage... A truly exquisite fragrance!
