Was in the mood for some heavier winter perfume, and so I rediscovered my Miss Dior eau de parfum in my drawer. And I think it might be just perfect for the winter holidays. It has a warm sweetness without being in the gourmand category that is lovely when it’s chilly outside. It’s flirty yet very elegant and perfect for the night out. I am not sure how everyone feels, but I discovered that certain scents are hard to wear when you are always at home, which has been the forte of many during the pandemic. But during the holidays, I think I can pull it off just around the house and on the walks outside. If you’re looking for great longevity, then this one certainly has it. It has a darker amber colored liquid inside, usually a sign of perfume’s potency. Even after I took my shower, it still was there. I think it would make a perfect gift for a lady, especially a romantic one, but does not have to be. I would go for the eau de toilette version if you want it to be an everyday kind of scent. With the eau de parfum, I sometimes got headaches especially if I only wear it inside the house. It has a more mature vibe. Although I don’t believe in the age classification. It has been compared to Mademoiselle Coco, and while it is different, I can see that comparison. If you liked Mademoiselle Coco, you would probably like Miss Dior and its flankers. It opens up with lemony mandarin and then quickly transitions into a darker Rose with a hint of musk. The dry down is sensuous and beautiful. This one has a femme fatale kind of vibe, very chic and flirty. In short, it’s a very classy perfume perfect for cold winter nights and romantic candle lit dinners with sparkling crystal around.
PS. I think I might have 2012 version of Miss Dior. If so, it is the best for anyone who loves patchouli. I know I do, and this fragrance does not disappoint. That calming comforting earthy patchouli is very strong. Perfect for warming my heart up at wintertime or anytime.
