Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorling

I think Dior did a fantastic job at resurrecting their beloved classics, and Diorling is no exception. This scent is a jasmine and leather combination to die for, a scent which seems as though it was scent down from heaven itself. I am yet to experience the original formulation of Diorling unfortunately, but I can only imagine how stunning it is. As is frequent in contemporary marketing, the notes are very much trimmed to the basics. Jasmine is the leading note, with its airy, soapy qualities mingling beautifully with an ever so delicate leather note which is brisk and mellow. There’s a touch of green sharpness, perhaps hyacinth, alongside a whisper of oakmoss. I’ve fallen in love with this scent, more than most of my recent pick ups, which is ironic because it is also one of my cheapest. For a scent that I can spray care-free without worrying about running out, Diorling is perfect. I will always own this.

Bought today and love at first sight. Well, I am fan of this kind of perfumes so I am very partial. The opening is very flowery, very elegant and little by little the flowers leave space to woods and finally leather paired with a little bitter note. But both the woods and leather are tamed by the initial flowers which have not gone away but only hidden. I can't tell about the original Diorling, if somebody told me this is the original formula I would believe without hesitation as the spirit of the scents of that time has been totally preserved and not destroyed as in other reformulations. I am happy that Diorling reappeared again after years of oblivion and I do hope also Dior Dior will resurface soon.

I picked up my fluffy old chihuahua this morning, I gave her a big squeeze and a sniff....mmm Diorling, which I have been wearing this week. Chihuahua with a coating of Diorling might just be the best smell in the whole world. P.S. I aint sprayin' the damn dawg lol X

I received a smaller amount today and it's easy to say that I was delighted! I was afraid of skin, but this is a fantastically blended chypre. Love for all time. ❤

This is a floral-oakmoss-chypre bomb. Love it!

I've had this fragrance for a while, but hesitated to write a review - I loved it in the shops but went off it a little when I got it home. But giving it another try, after leaving it be for a while, I find I really like it. The top notes are a wee bit unappealing to me, but after a couple of moments it dries to a soft, gentle leather with a light, floral tone. although it's quite quiet, I find it lasts a long time on me & would make a good scent to wear to work. Unlike a reviewer below, I find leather to be the main scent.and feel it is quite elegant.

Its a lovely, delicious, soapy, beautiful scent. Very well balanced with not one note dominating. Similar to Diorella but somehow a bit brighter, yellower, a higher note. Very sophisticated and timeless. It stays bright even on drydown when the top notes fade. Very, very lovely. This would be an appropriate, and complimented, scent in every occasion. Pure class with no pretence. A delight.

This is a very nice gentle leather scent. Soapy, with soft supple leather, definitely quite lady-like and it really warms nicely on the skin. A bit less complicated than I was expecting however, but a simple chic scent nonetheless.

I get this very loud strong sweet floral opening, at the same time there's something a little acrid and sour in there. Then it becomes a softer version of what I just described. gets weak so fast, made me nervous how long the leather would last once it appeared and how strong it would be. Well, I shouldnt have worried at all because the leather never showed up! Where's the leather? There is no leather. If there is leather in here, I'm the queen of england. This is horrid, I'm going to return it asap. If Diorling and I were back in high school, I'd have her head in a toilet every morning. Why? because she's a rotten no good phony floral traipsing around like a leather lol. Go back to the cheerleading squad, Diorling! (the name of this scent should've totally tipped me off) I am very curious as to what vintage Diorling smells like, but if it's at all like this reformulation....I will pass.

Maybe I'm immature, but someone just wiped a dirty dishcloth on my wrist. Ew!

Ah, Diorling! So beautiful, so posh, so elegant. This must be the scent wafting from a polo match, the expensive French perfumes of the upper crust mingling with a horsey leather. Or imagine those same upper-crust ladies gathering for a picnic (catered, of course) in a meadow on a bright, sunny day. The hostess greets her guests—"Welcome, Diorling!"—as they offer their cheeks for a peck. There must be flowers nearby—yes, I detect some jasmine, a little violet leaf. They smell as clear as the sky, the crystal wine glasses these ladies sip from, the glistening diamonds that adorn their necks and fingers. Make no mistake—there is leather here, one not all that dissimilar from Dzing!'s leather note—but these ladies are too made up for the day to actually enter the stables. They remain firmly barn-adjacent, whinnies and neighs only heard off in the distance, these gorgeous florals more prevalent than the horses' scent. As a major fan of leather perfumes, I just had to get my nose on Diorling. (I've only tried this modern version, not the original vintage.) It's *so* good, very, very good. It embodies the same "vibe" and profile as TF's White Suede. But, as much as I enjoy this, there's really no comparison between Diorling and Cuir de Russie. Again, as always, Chanel does it better. I will continue to worship at the altar of Cuir de Russie. Yes, I'll still gleefully wear Diorling; I'll just have to atone afterward for my deviation from the One True Leather!

This is pure leather to my nose! Soft sensensual leather with peachy tones. The fragrance starts loudy, crystal clear with sharp juicy bergamont and flowers on the background. Soon, citruses disappear, and the smell becomes smoky, with a fantastic note of rotten fruits, like Dior's perfumes from the past days... This is the time for delight. It smells amost vinage. Yes, I agree to Henriette, as I would believe that I have a vintage perfume also. Flowers, patcouli, that odd fruity note and soft leather are combined to a unique elegant lady like smell. The wonderful heart lasts very long, and hour after hour, the leather tries to be the only star. And manages to be at the end. The perfume's dry down, is absolutely leathery, almost to the masculine side, deprived of the other notes. Still nice and interesting though...

I wish brands would stop that nonsense notes trimming. Diorling is NOT limited to those 3 notes you can see in the pyramid. It's so complex, I have been wearing it for 3 days now and keep finding something new! It opens with peppery nasturtium, citrus, leather and aldehydes! Salty-sweet leather? Or is it salty jasmine? I get whiffs of lily of the valley from diorissimo and slightly inebriated melons of diorama. Further it changes completely into leather and rose and powdery iris. Soft, sweet, but somehow 3-dimensional butter soft leather. The latest stage of the dry down is made of a watercolour moss, hazy and lightweight. Classic composition with clear stages of development.

This is just what Goddesses would wear - a scent evoking that classy detachment from all which is common, without snobbing what would be so. It has an aura of otherworldly stance, approachable and yet distinguished. Cuir de Russie is incredible too, but I find that on me at least Chanel sadly has a sillage lacking any grip. I one million times prefer Dior! Beautiful, white, leathery poem. Unmissable number in any perfume armoire - it will, one day, become your holy grail for important occasions when you will want to smell classy and ladylike.

I tried this scent today (05.16.12) at Saks and it is very, very nice. It is a wonderful, sophisticated fragrance. I love it, but it reminds me in the dry down of Tom Ford's Arabian Wood. Although I love Dioressence, I have to say I prefer Arabian Wood. I still may purchase this fragrance. I wonder if this is what inspired Tom Ford..ha...I must be dreaming because Tom Ford does not need inspiration, right? Mr. Ford would not admit to that. I think it did heeheehee.

I had never heard of Diorling when I saw a tester of it on a Dior counter, so I tested it with no preconceptions. From the first inhalation, I got chypre. The second impression was that this is not that far from Diorella. As others have said, this is elegant and ladylike.it whispers rather than shouts. This is a daytime scent to wear with a chic, beautifully tailored suit in houndstooth check (see the original Miss Dior) and elegant leather gloves and shoes.

Un superbe parfum d'une douceur surprenante pour un chypré cuiré. Les notes cuirées enveloppent merveilleusement celles du jasmin. Je serais bien curieuse de sentir la version originale. Je me demande si la nouvelle version lui est fidèle. Comme toute maniaque de parfum, j'adore me faire complimenter sur celui que je porte. Dioling en est un. Merci monsieur Dior!

This smells like a haughty equestrienne from years past romping with her young groom, the smell of her jasmine perfume, leather boots and freshly cleaned saddle mixed with his hair dressing, soap and clean sweat. A far preferable option to me than Cuir de Russie, Diorling is somewhat richer and cleaner smelling, plus the longevity and sillage are excellent.

I tried this on today (5.16.12) at Saks. The top notes are beautiful. I detected the bergamot/rose/jasmine. The dry down on my skin is leathery, but the patchouli/musk/moss/vetiver softens it. The base notes in the dry down are nice, 3 hours later, but the leather is a tad masculine.

I think Dior was born with the heart of God. Otherwise It's impossible to know so well and beautifully what women really want. Incredible mixture, Goddess blood!

Diorling costs $175 USD equivalent in Geneva so cheap is a very relative term. It's not even one of the creations one hopes to find discounted to 100 USD online.
