Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2021)

I have forgotten how much I love this little pink diamond. When I first wore it, it was purchased from the Macy's in San Francisco about 3 or 4 years ago. I wore it a few times because to my surprise it was too 'pink' and powdery and girly-girl ballerina for my tastes, though I did like it. I have worn many perfumes and I gravitate toward mature or complex florals, indie niche, paintings that tell a story or create a mood or cast a spell. But this was always taking me to a ballerina's dance studio with tutu and slippers on wood as one dances attempting perfection. It can still take me there. But now it's a very unique powdery perfume of exquisite feminine charm. I just have to be in the right mood; i.e. - a romantic dinner date wearing a pink or light carnation, beige or flesh colored dress to match with the perfume, at an actual ballet performance or a wedding. Starts off with soft powder owing to the iris flower which pops out first before the rose. Then there's pink roses galore. The lily of the valley give it a touch of green herbal nuance. But it is mostly that iris and rose combination, like a pas de deux dance between them, that really gives this perfume a special kind of romantic glamour and beauty. This is sweet but soft, not screechy or loud. It has a classiness and something that is both 'vintage' feeling and yet wearable for today. The iris plus rose later develops into a sandalwood and just a little touch of vanilla and musk. The base notes are simple and honestly the whole thing is simple, not complex, but very easily feminine and feels so good to wear after your shower and when you put on your most formal dress to go out and just be a lady. Miss Dior or Mrs. Dior, both ladies and I love to wear it.

Wearing it for 3 days in a row now and that's my first impression. It's getting a lot of hate but I'm not ashamed to admit that I personally really like it. It's a very delicate, feminine sweet floral. Yes it's kind of generic, nothing groundbreaking but it's also beautiful and very well blended. I get mostly creamy vanilla + iris , some rose and florals. It's not sticky sweet, not gourmand. I don't get anything sharp nor masculine as other reviews state. Body chemistry I guess or maybe trying at different temperatures? What I smell is pure feminine and elegance. Also it made me feel kind of nostalgic. I was trying to find out why it smells that way to me, and then I realized that it reminded me of the scented correspondence letters from my childhood. But it doesn't smell old. It's something a young elegant woman would wear as her everyday scent. I like it a lot and it makes me feel happy and beautiful and that's why I wear my fragrances, I personally don't really care if it's "generic" or reformulated 1000 times, I just want wear fragrances that make me feel good and calm and feel myself while wearing them. If you loved the 2017 version you will probably be dissapointed because it's soft and doesnt smell like the old version but if you can't stand patchouli at all like me maybe you should give this new version a try. Sillage is moderate but longetivity is huge. I wake up in the morning and I can still smell it. (Currently wearing at temperatures from 27 to 31 Celsius)

Not people saying they hate it solely because it doesn't smell like old version... Grow up. Anyway, I'm pumped that this doesn't have any patchouli in it. I love rose and iris, so hopefully this will be a winner for me. Honestly can't wait to smell it. Also, even though this is Miss Dior, this is a brand new scent. Disliking it because you're comparing it to its old composition, isn't really giving it a fair chance. I feel like I've heard them say before that they change miss Dior often to keep it fresh and modern and with the times. With that being said this isn't the first reformulation, and it certainly won't be the last. Edit: went to the Dior counter today and smelled this. Its BEAUTIFUL. So much so, that I preordered a bottle. I also asked to smell the 2017 release to compare and wow... that's beautiful too, but in a completely different way. 2021 is lighter and brighter, while 2017 is warm and romantic on my skin... so I'm going on eBay and buying that one too. Thanks Dior, enjoy my money 😅

I ignored this for a long time because I felt that the notes it had were all ones I usually avoid-- I wish I had tried this sooner. Not as infiltrated with powders and powdery florals as I had mistakenly expected, I believe the combination of the middle notes, especially the legitimate fruits, balances everything out wonderfully. I got more of a dark cherry and cherry-blossom scent out of this, but not in a way that feels so artificial. It then settles into a musky scent which overall works beautifully. Not super intimate, but subtle in the way that as it penetrates others' noses, it is simply pleasant. I will say that my personal beliefs make it hard to admit, but yes, this is more of a "younger" and fresh scent. I wouldn't call it timeless for this reason. I am in my early 20s and I loved it, I don't think others calling it juvenile or having a set cut-off age should stop you from trying this out! I can see it as a signature scent for a young, elegant, and wealthy princess-type debutante.

This is so beautiful!!! I'm really vibing with these ultra feminine scents lately. I usually gravitate more towards spicy ambers, balsamic vanillas, heavy gourmands, dark and jammy rose, patchouli, unisex, etc. This is a creamy fragrance with a ton of vanilla. I can't necessarily pick out the rose but there is definitely a powdery iris nuance to this. It's a stunner. The whole line is really. I don't know which one I love more...The Essence one, this one or the parfum? I don't know. This reminds me a bit of My Insolence by Guerlain. It's that type of vanilla heavy powdery sweet floral. I like Miss Dior better though. It's more modern. This will be gorgeous in the spring. I feel like I say the following all of the time so it could be a "me problem" but I do wish this was stronger. The Essence and the Parfum are a lot stronger than this one but they go more in the jammy blackberry direction with some patchouli. This is a 10/10 fragrance for me and I need a bottle!
