by Dior
Miss Dior (2012) is a refined, feminine chypre with a balanced sweetness and elegance. It opens with a bright, juicy mandarin citrus, smoothly blended with a soft rose and jasmine. The heart features a rich, harmonious patchouli that is earthy yet refined, not overpowering or medicinal. The drydown is warm, gentle musk with subtle woody and floral warmth, resulting in a sophisticated and inviting scent. It stands out as a timeless classic for everyday wear and special occasions, suitable for day or night, and praised for its exceptional longevity and moderate, elegant sillage. While some liken it to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, it's distinct in being more floral, softer, and less sporty or fresh. It may be perceived as too sweet or synthetic by some, but for those who appreciate a well-blended, warm, accessible floral-woody scent with a classy aura, it remains highly cherished.
