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.

Insanely romantic !! Hold me i’ll fell any second I LOVE LOVE LOVE FREESIA SO BAD im dying for that freesia spiciness i really adore soft spicy delicate florals such as Lily freesia stephanotis even some certain types of rose smells spicy to me !! My fav flower is freesia and my second favorite is jasmine and i absolutely adore rose when it is well blended I like when rose is mixed with smthng either sharp or spicy such as pink pepper patchouli anise some spicy florals even mint and citruses ! I also die for rose with certain kinds of soft notes just like jasmine white musk sandalwood tonka bean pear peach vanilla etc Here its a sharp&sharp combo with delicate jasmine background which i go ... for The freesia is just perfect spiced that’s the freesia i like airy fresh minty delicate cold dewy The rose is i think really normal dior’s french rose floral fresh petals not citrusy or zingy I barely get jasmine but it’s absolutely there i can see her softening the edges For the 8272626 time im dying for that freesia it smells exactly the same as the freesia in my beloved 212 NYC CAROLINA HERRERA ii almost get some similarities between them Straight solid 10/10 i didn’t test the projection yet

I just received this in the mail. It wasn't particularly on my radar, but when I came across a full bottle for a low price, I jumped. This is Dior were talking about here! This will wear best in spring and summer undoubtedly, but I had to try it today in the midst of winter. My home is warm and cozy, so it doesn't make much of a difference. For a perfume that Fragrantica claims is made from 3 notes, this feels like much more is going on. It's seamless! If I focus, I can separate the freesia from the rose, but I enjoy the way that the freesia adds a freshness to the rose, creating a beautiful accord. I don't detect the jasmine, but it's possible it will emerge the longer I wear it. This is a very traditionally feminine scent. It's best described as "pretty". Though different, I'm not sure I've been as attracted to a rose perfume since the days before my bottle of Drole de Rose turned on me, though DdR retains the top spot for me. Longevity and projection are about what you would expect from an EDT. Spray heavily if you want people next to you to smell it, and be prepared to reapply after 3 hours or so.

It’s delicate and with less silage than I wanted but it smells so fresh and lovely without ever turning ozonic or aquatic. Like fresh cut freesias and maybe a few peonies too. Later they become slightly powdery. I don’t have the original to compare, but this smells like spring and I love it. The bottle is very nice too, simple, but classy, quite beautiful and romantic. Lasting power not great, but my skin eats this kind of scents. I wish I could find the pink bottle too. It is much too expensive for an Eau de toilette which isn’t even strong, but so beautiful and I will go ahead and say... if you are a floral lover, and you want something that smells like pure flowers, no soap, sugar, vanilla, citrus, Patchouli, nothing else added, go for it. It is rare to find a good freesia based scent so this is a beauty. However, keep in mind, low silage and weak longevity, it’s only appropriate for mornings, summer days, or work, too delicate for evenings or social functions. PS. I am considering swapping it... 100ml bottle with box, since I really find the silage close to nil for me... pm me if you want it.

This is the best blind purchase I have ever made! I fell in love with the name and the bottle and decided to buy this based on the notes only. The perfume opens with a splash of freesia and rose. I wasn't able to detect jasmine but maybe that was because the floral notes all blend so well with one another. The perfume also lasts about 4 hours, which is pretty great considering that it doesn't have any warm note to keep it grounded. Also this one doesn't sit too close to the skin, I could smell it about an arm length away. Not many fresh/floral perfumes do that :) I would say this is perfect for spring because of how fresh and floral it is. I feel like my day is brightened every time I wear this because it is very cheerful. I have Dior Addict Eau Sensuelle, and this is definitely similar to that. However, Eau Sensuelle sits closer to the skin and is also a bit warmer that Forever & Ever. Eau Sensuelle also lasts a bit longer (6 hours), probably because of the musk. Both perfumes are perfect for spring time!

This is a very beautiful pleasant smell from the first sniff until the dry down, very fresh floral composition, pretty notes, freesia, jasmine and Bulgarian rose are well made, well balanced. This is tender, delicate, romantic, clean, extremely feminine. I couldn't stop thinking about the scent, it haunted me! I knew I had to get it! But it is so expensive but it’s all worth it! I feel happy wearing it! It is sophisticated, appealing and flirtatious without trying too hard. A great all-around scent for me, light and perfect for daytime especially during spring and summer where the heat magnifies the scent. It retains a lovely light touch giving a sumptuous warmth that lingers the whole day. Great on the skin with amazing lasting power. I just could not get enough of it. This is just divine! Love this so much! I realized this would become my perfect signature scent. Surely does!!! I could say this is one of the most beautiful timeless floral perfume ever made! Forever and ever in my collection.

I blind bought it since the notes sounded interesting to me (I love freesia) and I saw some very enthusiastic reviews, and I found it at a very discounted price. I am absolutely in love with it! It is so delicate, dainty, elegant, fresh, creamy, youthful... oh my gosh! This is one of those fragrances which are always perfect, in any occasion, any time, any age, etc... It smells clean and fresh and creamy and dainty without being soapy or laundry-like. It is delicately sensual and elegant. All the florals in it are very well balanced, there is no screechiness, no unpleasant synthetic quality, it is not heady nor indolic. It could almost be a your-skin-but-better fragrance, at least this is how I smell it on my skin. In spring and summer it will definitely shine, but it is perfect all year round. Longevity and projection are moderate, and it is fine for me, I do not mind respraying it if needed.

Absolutely fabulous scent! At the beginning I thougt that it corresponds better to the warm weather like summer or spring. But unfortunately the lasting power disappears within several minutes even not hours. I was on holidays in a tropical environment and this perfume didn't last at all. I could put hundreds of sprays but it smelled nothing. Like if the perfume was absorbed by this humidity in the air and 30 degree temperature. But at home with the dry and cold weather the longevity is very good,and long lasting. This scent sits close to skin and have a heavy silage on me. it still smells when I'm back from work after 10-11 hours. The scent stays at least 3 days on my closes (dry environment in winter). Love love love this scent. The composition is so simple but the scent is so gorgeous. I understood that freesia and roses became my favourites.

I just got this EDT this morning. Ordered it online (BLIND BUY) and had it sent to my work address. This scent is very tricky. It smells so mild that I could hardly smell it on me but the people around me kept telling me I smell so good and wherever I go, when I walk, the scent comes along with me. I wore this for the first time today and at the office, my workmates said, minutes after I finished using the toilet, when they went in, they could still smell this scent in there. My colleague who sits infront of me in the room said that this scent filled the whole room which is weird because I could not smell it that enormous at all. PERFECT blind buy! This is a KEEPER! I dont smell sugar sweet. I smell a mild juice that smells so decent but is absolutely a compliment-magnet! Longevity: I can still smell it after 10 LONG HOURS with 4 spritzes !!!!

Last year I had an intense longing for Forever and Ever...It was never mine but I would go back to try it, again and again, and each time it was a lovely as the last. I love the house of Dior and this is the fragrance that suits me perfectly, in a sense of it being both sweetly floral but at the same time, not uptight, more 'undone', more youthful and free willed. It doesn't even wear like a perfume but instead smells exactly like the flowers would in a beautiful garden, after fresh rainfall. Literal raindrops on roses, a candy-like freesia, a nose tickling soapiness and a flirtatious spice underneath. After a long love affair I was gifted a bottle and it reigns over my other ones, like it was made for a young princess. The juice is unashamedly, gorgeously pink. I'm saving this one for the drizzly English springtime!

I took an one hour flight another day, and I was wearing F&E. When we arrived in our destination, the Lady beside me told me:"- Have a nice day in Brussels, and by the way it ́s was a pleasure to smell your lovely perfume during 1 hour". I gave her the name of it, of Course. My experience is that, this is not a "skin scent". This projects around you, people close to you smell it, and the longevity is awesome 8 Hours easily. I smell this perfume on myself the whole day; I don ́t need to reapply it. I love to spray on my hair... The olfative quality of it...nothing to say...this is a gentle, extremely classy and refined scent; it ́s very "lady like", "put together" but youthful and fresh. It ́s simple but sophisticated, it shows strength in a gentle and smooth way. I love it! a perfect classy signature scent!

More I wear it more I love it! So glad to have it in my collection. It's all about a lovely freesia. I'm really happy it lasts looooong hours with my skin chemistry. I absolutely not regret to purchase it at full price. For me every penny worth this beauty. I get compliments every time I waer it. I do not disclosure the name of this perfume especially at work because I do not want other collaborators smell in a similar way. it's only me :) And I even stopped wearing it at work because it is so special so intim and so ME :)) I can disclosure the name of my flagrance only to my close female friends because I know they won't waer it to avoid having the same perfume as me. Any case we should be different from the flagrance point of view :))

So so sad that Dior reformulated this. The scent in the pink bottle was perfection. I fully agree with Aysu's review. This one is 95% similar but lacks the depth, the complexity and the creamy, sensual undertone that made the original Forever and Ever enchanting perfection. I wear this new one because I can't find the old anymore, but it makes me sad every time I sniff the old pink bottle and realise how perfect the original was. I may buy another bottle of this new version because I still like it a lot and because it was the perfume of my wedding, but I'm done with Dior. This was the last straw after Dune and Dolce Vita and many others masterpieces were reformulated and stripped of their soul into unrecognisable shadows of themselves.

My beautiful, classy, sophisticated mother used to wear the original formula a lot, and for many years. I loved it on her but as a teenager myself at the time, I didn't wear it often myself. When the original bottle was discontinued, I missed it. It's a floral, yes. But it's a very unique floral, I've never smelled a true dupe for it. In any case, once I found the reformulation, I bought it again for my mother and a bottle for myself too. Every time I smell it, it makes me feel classy and sophisticated in a crisp white linen and lunch on the river kind of way, it's very like the original. Because it was a fragrance favoured by my mother for so many years, it is also comfort in a bottle to me - the sense memory of it is so powerful.

This perfume is fresh, light, and beautiful. There is a slight sourness to it, but in the same way a squeeze of lemon is sour, it's pleasant. I'm actually surprised there aren't any citrus notes listed. This perfume has a very delicate, feminine floral scent. I don't pick up the rose/jasmine/freesia as individual distinctive notes but rather a gorgeous aquatic blend of all three. If you are into light, fresh, florals, I would say this is a safe blind buy. This lasts on me for about four hours, which I think is pretty good for this type of light, fresh perfume. Also, as someone who is headache prone- this is great! I had a very bad migraine this morning and this perfume did not intensify it as sweeter, heavier perfumes tend to.

It doesn't always have to be complicated; Forever and Ever is simple and at the same time delicious, feminine, delicate. This is the perfume I would happily imagine on an angel. This blend of rose, freesia and jasmine is absolutely divine. And yet floral perfumes are not my favorite ones but when it smells good, it smells good! Is the pyramid complete? Because I would have added a little hint of musk (not at all imposing, just what is needed to bring sensuality to the whole thing). Once again, everything is simple here, nothing really innovative or exceptional, just the feeling of being in an enchanted garden which fills me with happiness. A perfect creation for lovers of floral or rose perfumes (like me).

In recently began wearing this beauty again since it’s spring and it’s the best time of the year for Dior’s forever and ever. It’s such a beautiful light feminine airy fresh floral. The freesia and the rose, my husband always complements when I wear it. It’s very pleasant and never overwhelming. The longevity is so good for being Eau de Toilette. Usually this kind of fragrance that is fresh and floral doesn’t last long like Dior blooming bouquet, but this one does last and projects so well. I wear during the day and I wear it to bed. It’s just so good. I hope Dior will always have it. Also Diors Sakura is very very similar to Dior forever and ever, but for some reason it doesn’t last or project as well.
