Diva Pépite

I love this one more than the original. It is is a little less mossy and slightly tangy-er/more like a red wine. I REALLY appreciate sweaterfreak offering info on this scent below - thank you! - but the info from Gilt's website is incorrect. The info they provide is for Ungaro L'Amour Fou (2012). I found notes listed at PerfumeNZ as well but I don't think those are accurate either; rather they correspond to "Diva Limited Edition EDP", the version in the striking silver bottle. Is it possible that Pepite is just a rebottled version of that limited edition? I don't think so as I don't really get any of the amber or vanilla that are listed in that one. I was able to track down a review on a Russian fragrance site for the silver edition where the reviewer suggested that iris and clove, along with the honeyed moss and rose are the standout notes. If so, then perhaps Pepite actually IS a rebottled version of the silver EDP!?! Pepite translates from French as nugget, as in "nugget of gold".

A fortunate mistake! As I noted below, I purchased this thinking I was purchasing the original Diva. I have no complaints whatsoever! Big, bold, and beautiful, the name Diva suits the fragrance quite well in this instance. I enjoy the tuberose and rose combination here, enhanced by a woody and resinous base. The notes aren't listed here, but I definitely get something slightly balsamic, which prevents the middle notes from becoming too powdery. Someone below mentioned sandalwood, and the more this dries down, the more I can detect it. I am not sure if it is necessary to purchase the original, though it is affordable enough should I choose to. Wearing Diva Pepite is all about attitude, and when I get my inner diva on, I feel perfectly comfortable wearing this with jeans and a sweater, but concede that it would shine brightest at night on a formal occasion when you want to dazzle and be the center of attention!

@Anamandy I have both pepite and original Diva and I can say it's very close to the original but the description on Amazon is not for this one it's for the classic Diva Ungaro These are the description for the Diva Pepite limited edition: :Top notes of mandarin and tuberose, forming a juicy-intoxicating opening which disarms the senses. A heart adds powerful ylang-ylang and Turkish rose, while a base encompasses sandalwood, Florence iris and fine vanilla. Enjoy them both Diva and Diva Pepite which means gold nugget in French there very good 80s vintage feel to them and long lasting IMO GOOD LUCK!

The ultimate Chypre scent but with a stronger powderry honeyed fruity yellow floral nineties feel than the original. As if they poured equal parts original Diva, Bijan, Valentino Vendetta and Nino Cerruti into a vat and created the ideal daytime scent for my chemistry. I get compliments on this one regularly and it is just so beautiful I bought 3x backup 100mls online from a discounter. Buy it if you love 80s and 90s fruity chypres you won't regret it.

Baby Diva indeed, the bold florals have been softened and made gentle, taking a backseat while the powdery sandalwood is given precedence. For some reason I feel like Audrey Hepburn would wear this in Roman Holiday; bright eyed and charming, but no youthful pushover. Good length (8hrs) and no less than arms length sillage, very much floating in your own cocoon. Shines in cooler weather but has to be on a sunny day.
