Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Forever and Ever

I wanted to update my 2015 review! It's 2022 and this is still the ONLY floral perfume in my collection. I genuinely don't have any other flower-only perfumes and I've smelt sooooo many over the years!. I never like them because for me they're either too dry (Bright Crystal and Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet for instance, both realistic but just too dry in a Rose water sort of way for my tastes), or too sweet and vanilla-like (Flowerbomb and La Vie Est Belle are typical examples of the hellish and unnatural sweetness so many floral perfumes have!). All very popular perfumes but to my nose, they just don't have the true smell of sweet flowers in spring. Forever and Ever is a very singular and perfect scent that has a natural sweet blossom smell. True Freesia but the feel is that of new springtime flowers. It blows my mind that some people don't think it's strong!. I find this super strong and it lasts forever... and ever! You can smell this stuff a mile away despite it's delicate scent and that's what I mean about the blossom vibe. NOBODY would describe cherry blossom as a strong smell would they? But you can't walk past a tree in blossom without smelling the fresh, sweet scent of flowers, right?! That's what this perfume is to me. Delicate but always detectable, always distinct. It stays in a room after you've gone but not in an assault on the nostrils sort of way, more like the ghost of some sweet petals. And honestly, after many years it's still the only thing I've found that gives me that true feeling of walking down a cold street full of newly blossoming flowers, and stopping to take a deep breath of the elusive scent that catches on the breeze. I think this is quite wearable for every day (if you can afford it as your signature perfume!) but for me this is a special occasion perfume. If I want to dress like a flower fairy, this is the only perfume I'm reaching for. It is perfection. Springtime in a bottle, genuinely. As the Superdrug Artiscent Atelier Eau De Parfum's aren't on Fragrantica, I just wanted to mention the Vanille Blush scent from that range. It baffles me how the notes they mention on the box (blackcurrant, Jasmine, Vanilla, cedarwood and musk) can dry down into a perfume reminiscent of Forever and Ever! Admittedly at first it's a very distant relative as the initial waft is blackcurrant. That very quickly turns into a sort of nose stinging aniseed (no idea where that's coming from, but there's some notes combining to create something spicy right at the top!), but leave it for a few minutes and bam! There it is... the spirit of Forever and Ever. I'm honestly very surprised as I hate vanilla but it's not obvious in Vanille Blush, it just makes the florals a tad sweeter. I can still smell it 4 hours after praying and is it a more woody scent than Forever and Ever after a few hours, but it's still pretty nice! I think it's fair to say that it's not really a replacement for the current version of Forever and Ever for those who wear and love it and it seems based on the OG from 2002 (which has vanilla, nutmeg and musk in!), so maybe this would be good for anyone who preferred the original, discontinued version. It's not as special or nice as the current perfume, but for a fraction of the price and a pretty cool bottle, this is 100% worth trying if you like Forever and Ever. I'm always too scared to take my Dior bottle anywhere because it cost me £100, so to have a decent 50ml dupe that cost £11 (well actually I got it for just £6 in a special offer!) I'm happy to chuck in my bag / suitcase is an absolute winner! I hope this is helpful :)

I was never eager to try this perfume of dior.I imagined it to be a plain watery girly floral.one of these generic pink perfumes one can buy without spending top dollars but when SA in a local perfume shop who knows my taste in perfumes very well,insisted on testing it for me,I gave up and let him spray it on my hand."mmm,it smells pretty" I thought and asked for hubby's idea.he answered:lovely but... there came a but when he saw it's price tag:but nothing speacial.I'm sure you have a lot of similar fragrances.though His eyes were saying other thing:"babe I can't afford it right now" so I decided to keep my tongue and don't start a long lecture about perfumes.we left the shop with a cheaper perfume which by the way was a hidden gem I was very happy to discover,but I couldn't stop thinking about this gorgeous scent on my hand.it's delicate,fresh,alluring,feminine and very chic.florals smell so natural,soft and beautiful.it's not a complex perfume but not as plain as it's notes suggest.I can smell something crisp and green blended with freesia,rose and jasmine.this green note is light and a tad spicy and however I often hate green notes, I like it alot here as it gives a natural freshness to forever and ever dior and give it an intresting twist which makes it far from generic pink perfumes.I'm also quite sure that there's musk in here.not a strong,dirty musk so If you're a musk hater there's nothing to worry about here.it's musky floral dry down is soft and creamy Dior forever and ever is a light,pretty and high quality perfume but these are not it's only good aspect.I was amazed when I smelled soft traces of it more than 10 hours after application and it was just a small,quick spray I add it to my wantlist but I don't think I can get it soon as it has a +100$ price tag and there are lots of other items in my wishlist including couple of chanels and I'm jobless.but if you can afford it and you're into delicate floral scents,something youthful and ladylike at the same time,inoffensive as well as classy don't let it go

Les Creations de Monsieur Dior “Forever and Ever Dior” (2009) My god this is beautiful. On my skin it is the embodiment of simple, sheer, transparent floral heaven. This radiant creation joyously opens with a brilliantly fresh and spicy freesia blooming amongst a blanket of zesty green ivy. It is joined by a sweetly airy, non-indolic jasmine. The tenderly lingering opening seamlessly gives way to an exceptionally delicious rush of juicy-sparkling rose-hip/geranium plus creamy-almond-blossom that is further softened by a barely discernible touch of elegantly understated vanilla. The musk and amber animalics are hardly noticeable on my skin and serve only to anchor the ethereal floral splendor above. There is no sweetness beyond that which is naturally extant within the context of the floral petal accords. The scent remains pristinely fresh and vivaciously spicy throughout drydown with just a touch of creamy sweetness and no taint of musk or powdery amber. I would bathe in this if I could. It is remains intimately close to the skin even upon initial application and lasts for approximately 5 hours on me. Those who demand high sillage complexity/uber-longevity type scents will doubtless be unimpressed. I find that the most beautiful scents are often the most fleeting. And this perfume is ravishingly beautiful. I respritz at leisure with the greatest of delight and enjoy pampering myself with this angelic nectar. On my skin, there is no sour citric punch, no sneeze inducing soapiness, no bracing aldehydes, no sickeningly sweet sugars, and no revolting animalic rubbish to sully the elegant simplicity manifested in scent here. I am hopelessly and completely in love with this concoction. If this was music, it would be Mozart. A single note of difference added or taken away would destroy the perfection. And perfection it is to me. Bravo and thank you to the House of Dior.

Six years ago, I bought my first bottle of Diors Miss Dior and fell in love. Since then, my interest for fragrances has grown, and especially for the ones from the house of Dior. I am so impressed of Diors perfumes, each of the ones I have had the luck to smell feels like an invite to a secret and mysterious nature world. Only the ones close enough to smell my scent is allowed share my my thoughts, dreams and longings... I received Forever and ever this morning and have never tried it before. The bottle shape is not as promising as other Dior scents, but the color, almost transparent and only slightly, slightly pink makes me curious and excited to try it. Could something that looks this insignificant make any longlasting impression? And after a couple of sprays, in the air and on my arm wrists I feel like the answer is YES! Smooth, powdery, quite sweet (but really not _that_ sweet). Flower garden in the spring. Kind and cute and very clean. Neither girlish, nor older lady, just a woman feeling lucky being herself. I am not sure how often and when I will wear this. It's nothing for the first date when I want to make a more "explosive" impression, actually I don't think it's a night perfume at all. Neither will I wear this as an every day scent in the office, it feels like Forever and ever needs to be used rarely, to not destroy the mystique. This will probably be the one I use work days when I wake up and feel a little sad, nostalgic or just need some comfort. Also, I will definitley spray this at home from time to time just to see the rainy flower garden behind my eyelids... Edit: The longevity on me is not that good, but I can live with that. I will just carry the bottle the days I wear it and make new sprays from time to time.
